IterableOps

trait IterableOps[+A, +CC[_], +C] extends IterableOnce[A] with IterableOnceOps[A, CC, C]

Base trait for Iterable operations

VarianceNote

We require that for all child classes of Iterable the variance of the child class and the variance of the C parameter passed to IterableOps are the same. We cannot express this since we lack variance polymorphism. That's why we have to resort at some places to write C[A @uncheckedVariance].

Type Params
C

type of the collection (e.g. List[Int], String, BitSet). Operations returning a collection with the same type of element (e.g. drop, filter) return a C.

CC

type constructor of the collection (e.g. List, Set). Operations returning a collection with a different type of element B (e.g. map) return a CC[B].

A pair of, first, all elements that satisfy predicate p and, second, all elements that do not.

A pair of, first, all elements that satisfy predicate p and, second, all elements that do not. Interesting because it splits a collection in two.

The default implementation provided here needs to traverse the collection twice. Strict collections have an overridden version of partition in StrictOptimizedIterableOps, which requires only a single traversal.

Applies a function f to each element of the iterable collection and returns a pair of iterable collections: the first one made of those values returned by f that were wrapped in scala.util.Left, and the second one made of those wrapped in scala.util.Right.

Applies a function f to each element of the iterable collection and returns a pair of iterable collections: the first one made of those values returned by f that were wrapped in scala.util.Left, and the second one made of those wrapped in scala.util.Right.

Example:

Produces a collection containing cumulative results of applying the operator going right to left. The head of the collection is the last cumulative result.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

x <  0       if this.size <  otherSize
x == 0       if this.size == otherSize
x >  0       if this.size >  otherSize

final def sizeIs: SizeCompareOps

Returns a value class containing operations for comparing the size of this iterable collection to a test value.

Returns a value class containing operations for comparing the size of this iterable collection to a test value.

These operations are implemented in terms of sizeCompare(Int), and allow the following more readable usages:

this.sizeIs < size     // this.sizeCompare(size) < 0
this.sizeIs <= size    // this.sizeCompare(size) <= 0
this.sizeIs == size    // this.sizeCompare(size) == 0

Groups elements in fixed size blocks by passing a "sliding window" over them (as opposed to partitioning them, as is done in grouped.)

An empty collection returns an empty iterator, and a non-empty collection containing fewer elements than the window size returns an iterator that will produce the original collection as its only element.

Value Params
size

Returns

An iterator producing iterable collections of size size, except for a non-empty collection with less than size elements, which returns an iterator that produces the source collection itself as its only element.

Groups elements in fixed size blocks by passing a "sliding window" over them (as opposed to partitioning them, as is done in grouped.)

Groups elements in fixed size blocks by passing a "sliding window" over them (as opposed to partitioning them, as is done in grouped.)

The returned iterator will be empty when called on an empty collection. The last element the iterator produces may be smaller than the window size when the original collection isn't exhausted by the window before it and its last element isn't skipped by the step before it.

Value Params
size

the number of elements per group

step

the distance between the first elements of successive groups

Returns

An iterator producing iterable collections of size size, except the last element (which may be the only element) will be smaller if there are fewer than size elements remaining to be grouped.

@deprecated("Check .knownSize instead of .hasDefiniteSize for more actionable information (see scaladoc for details)", "2.13.0")
def hasDefiniteSize: Boolean

Tests whether this collection is known to have a finite size.

Tests whether this collection is known to have a finite size. All strict collections are known to have finite size. For a non-strict collection such as Stream, the predicate returns true if all elements have been computed. It returns false if the stream is not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually return false even if they were created from a collection with a known finite size.

Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes. The typical failure mode is an infinite loop. These methods always attempt a traversal without checking first that hasDefiniteSize returns true. However, checking hasDefiniteSize can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.

Returns

true if this collection is known to have finite size, false otherwise.

See also

method knownSize for a more useful alternative

Deprecated

This method is deprecated in 2.13 because it does not provide any actionable information. As noted above, even the collection library itself does not use it. When there is no guarantee that a collection is finite, it is generally best to attempt a computation anyway and document that it will not terminate for infinite collections rather than backing out because this would prevent performing the computation on collections that are in fact finite even though hasDefiniteSize returns false.
