c span p

- def split(separator: Char): Array[String]
Split this string around the separator character
Split this string around the separator character
If this string is the empty string, returns an array of strings that contains a single empty string.
If this string is not the empty string, returns an array containing the substrings terminated by the start of the string, the end of the string or the separator character, excluding empty trailing substrings
If the separator character is a surrogate character, only split on matching surrogate characters if they are not part of a surrogate pair
The behaviour follows, and is implemented in terms of String.split(re: String)
- separator
the character used as a delimiter
"a.b".split('.') //returns Array("a", "b") //splitting the empty string always returns the array with a single //empty string "".split('.') //returns Array("") //only trailing empty substrings are removed "a.".split('.') //returns Array("a") ".a.".split('.') //returns Array("", "a") "..a..".split('.') //returns Array("", "", "a") //all parts are empty and trailing ".".split('.') //returns Array() "..".split('.') //returns Array() //surrogate pairs val high = 0xD852.toChar val low = 0xDF62.toChar val highstring = high.toString val lowstring = low.toString //well-formed surrogate pairs are not split val highlow = highstring + lowstring highlow.split(high) //returns Array(highlow) //bare surrogate characters are split val bare = "_" + highstring + "_" bare.split(high) //returns Array("_", "_")
Example: - def splitAt(n: Int): (String, String)
Splits this string into two at a given position.
Splits this string into two at a given position. Note:
c splitAt n

- def combinations(n: Int): Iterator[String]
Iterates over combinations.
Iterates over combinations. A _combination_ of length
n
is a subsequence of the original string, with the chars taken in order. Thus,"xy"

are both length-2 combinations of"xyy"

is not. If there is more than one way to generate the same subsequence, only one will be returned.For example,
"xyyy"
has three different ways to generate"xy"
depending on whether the first, second, or third"y"
is selected. However, since all are identical, only one will be chosen. Which of the three will be taken is an implementation detail that is not defined.- returns

Package structure
The scala package contains core types like
Int
,Float
,Array
orOption
which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.Notable packages include:
scala.collection
and its sub-packages contain Scala's collections frameworkscala.collection.immutable
- Immutable, sequential data-structures such asVector
,List
,Range
,HashMap
orHashSet
scala.collection.mutable
- Mutable, sequential data-structures such asArrayBuffer
,StringBuilder
,HashMap
orHashSet
scala.collection.concurrent
- Mutable, concurrent data-structures such asTrieMap
scala.concurrent
- Primitives for concurrent programming such asFutures
andPromises
scala.io
- Input and output operationsscala.math
- Basic math functions and additional numeric types likeBigInt
andBigDecimal
scala.sys
- Interaction with other processes and the operating systemscala.util.matching
- Regular expressionsOther packages exist. See the complete list on the right.
Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:
scala.reflect
- Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)scala.xml
- XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)scala.collection.parallel
- Parallel collections (scala-parallel-collections.jar)scala.util.parsing
- Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)scala.swing
- A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)Automatic imports
Identifiers in the scala package and the
scala.Predef
object are always in scope by default.Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example,
List
is an alias forscala.collection.immutable.List
.Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM,
String
is an alias forjava.lang.String
.
