This class implements an immutable linked list. We call it "lazy" because it computes its elements only when they are needed.
Elements are memoized; that is, the value of each element is computed at most once.
Elements are computed in-order and are never skipped. In other words, accessing the tail causes the head to be computed first.
How lazy is a LazyList? When you have a value of type LazyList, you
don't know yet whether the list is empty or not. If you learn that it is non-empty,
then you also know that the head has been computed. But the tail is itself
a LazyList, whose emptiness-or-not might remain undetermined.
A LazyList may be infinite. For example, LazyList.from(0) contains
all of the natural numbers 0, 1, 2, and so on. For infinite sequences,
some methods (such as count, sum, max or min) will not terminate.
Here is an example:
import scala.math.BigInt
object Main extends App {
val fibs: LazyList[BigInt] =
BigInt(0) #:: BigInt(1) #:: fibs.zip(fibs.tail).map{ n => n._1 + n._2 }
fibs.take(5).foreach(println)
}
// prints
//
// 0
// 1
// 1
// 2
// 3To illustrate, let's add some output to the definition fibs, so we
see what's going on.
import scala.math.BigInt
object Main extends App {
val fibs: LazyList[BigInt] =
BigInt(0) #:: BigInt(1) #::
fibs.zip(fibs.tail).map{ n =>
println(s"Adding ${n._1} and ${n._2}")
n._1 + n._2
}
fibs.take(5).foreach(println)
fibs.take(6).foreach(println)
}
// prints
//
// 0
// 1
// Adding 0 and 1
// 1
// Adding 1 and 1
// 2
// Adding 1 and 2
// 3
// And then prints
//
// 0
// 1
// 1
// 2
// 3
// Adding 2 and 3
// 5Note that the definition of fibs uses val not def. The memoization of the
LazyList requires us to have somewhere to store the information and a val
allows us to do that.
Further remarks about the semantics of LazyList:
- Though the LazyList changes as it is accessed, this does not
contradict its immutability. Once the values are memoized they do
not change. Values that have yet to be memoized still "exist", they
simply haven't been computed yet.
- One must be cautious of memoization; it can eat up memory if you're not
careful. That's because memoization of the LazyList creates a structure much like
scala.collection.immutable.List. As long as something is holding on to
the head, the head holds on to the tail, and so on recursively.
If, on the other hand, there is nothing holding on to the head (e.g. if we used
def to define the LazyList) then once it is no longer being used directly,
it disappears.
- Note that some operations, including drop, dropWhile, flatMap or collect may process a large number of intermediate elements before returning.
Here's another example. Let's start with the natural numbers and iterate over them.
// We'll start with a silly iteration
def loop(s: String, i: Int, iter: Iterator[Int]): Unit = {
// Stop after 200,000
if (i < 200001) {
if (i % 50000 == 0) println(s + i)
loop(s, iter.next(), iter)
}
}
// Our first LazyList definition will be a val definition
val lazylist1: LazyList[Int] = {
def loop(v: Int): LazyList[Int] = v #:: loop(v + 1)
loop(0)
}
// Because lazylist1 is a val, everything that the iterator produces is held
// by virtue of the fact that the head of the LazyList is held in lazylist1
val it1 = lazylist1.iterator
loop("Iterator1: ", it1.next(), it1)
// We can redefine this LazyList such that all we have is the Iterator left
// and allow the LazyList to be garbage collected as required. Using a def
// to provide the LazyList ensures that no val is holding onto the head as
// is the case with lazylist1
def lazylist2: LazyList[Int] = {
def loop(v: Int): LazyList[Int] = v #:: loop(v + 1)
loop(0)
}
val it2 = lazylist2.iterator
loop("Iterator2: ", it2.next(), it2)
// And, of course, we don't actually need a LazyList at all for such a simple
// problem. There's no reason to use a LazyList if you don't actually need
// one.
val it3 = new Iterator[Int] {
var i = -1
def hasNext = true
def next(): Int = { i += 1; i }
}
loop("Iterator3: ", it3.next(), it3)- In the fibs example earlier, the fact that tail works at all is of interest.
fibs has an initial (0, 1, LazyList(...)), so tail is deterministic.
If we defined fibs such that only 0 were concretely known, then the act
of determining tail would require the evaluation of tail, so the
computation would be unable to progress, as in this code:
// The first time we try to access the tail we're going to need more
// information which will require us to recurse, which will require us to
// recurse, which...
lazy val sov: LazyList[Vector[Int]] = Vector(0) #:: sov.zip(sov.tail).map { n => n._1 ++ n._2 }The definition of fibs above creates a larger number of objects than
necessary depending on how you might want to implement it. The following
implementation provides a more "cost effective" implementation due to the
fact that it has a more direct route to the numbers themselves:
lazy val fib: LazyList[Int] = {
def loop(h: Int, n: Int): LazyList[Int] = h #:: loop(n, h + n)
loop(1, 1)
}The head, the tail and whether the list is empty or not can be initially unknown.
Once any of those are evaluated, they are all known, though if the tail is
built with #:: or #:::, it's content still isn't evaluated. Instead, evaluating
the tails content is deferred until the tails empty status, head or tail is
evaluated.
Delaying the evaluation of whether a LazyList is empty or not until it's needed
allows LazyList to not eagerly evaluate any elements on a call to filter.
Only when it's further evaluated (which may be never!) any of the elements gets forced.
for example:
def tailWithSideEffect: LazyList[Nothing] = {
println("getting empty LazyList")
LazyList.empty
}
val emptyTail = tailWithSideEffect // prints "getting empty LazyList"
val suspended = 1 #:: tailWithSideEffect // doesn't print anything
val tail = suspended.tail // although the tail is evaluated, *still* nothing is yet printed
val filtered = tail.filter(_ => false) // still nothing is printed
filtered.isEmpty // prints "getting empty LazyList"- Type Params

Tests whether this lazy list 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.

Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain.
Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain. Applies fallback function where this partial function is not defined.
Note that expression pf.applyOrElse(x, default) is equivalent to
if(pf isDefinedAt x) pf(x) else default(x)except that applyOrElse method can be implemented more efficiently.
For all partial function literals the compiler generates an applyOrElse implementation which
avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards.
This makes applyOrElse the basis for the efficient implementation for many operations and scenarios, such as:
- combining partial functions into orElse/andThen chains does not lead to
excessive apply/isDefinedAt evaluation
- lift and unlift do not evaluate source functions twice on each invocation
- runWith allows efficient imperative-style combining of partial functions
with conditionally applied actions
For non-literal partial function classes with nontrivial isDefinedAt method
it is recommended to override applyOrElse with custom implementation that avoids
double isDefinedAt evaluation. This may result in better performance
and more predictable behavior w.r.t. side effects.

Iterates over combinations.
Iterates over combinations. A _combination_ of length n is a subsequence of
the original sequence, with the elements taken in order. Thus, "xy" and "yy"
are both length-2 combinations of "xyy", but "yx" 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.
Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

Search this sorted sequence for a specific element.
Search this sorted sequence for a specific element. If the sequence is an
IndexedSeq, a binary search is used. Otherwise, a linear search is used.
The sequence should be sorted with the same Ordering before calling; otherwise,
the results are undefined.

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
this.sizeIs != size // this.sizeCompare(size) != 0
this.sizeIs >= size // this.sizeCompare(size) >= 0
this.sizeIs > size // this.sizeCompare(size) > 0- Inherited from

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.)
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
the number of elements per group
- Returns
An iterator producing iterable collections of size
size, except for a non-empty collection with less thansizeelements, which returns an iterator that produces the source collection itself as its only element.- See also

Sorts this sequence according to the Ordering which results from transforming an implicitly given Ordering with a transformation function.
Sorts this sequence according to the Ordering which results from transforming an implicitly given Ordering with a transformation function.
Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.
Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.
The sort is stable. That is, elements that are equal (as determined by
ord.compare) appear in the same order in the sorted sequence as in the original.
- Type Params
- B
the target type of the transformation
f, and the type where the orderingordis defined.
- Value Params
- f
the transformation function mapping elements to some other domain
B.- ord
the ordering assumed on domain
B.
- Returns
a sequence consisting of the elements of this sequence sorted according to the ordering where
x < yiford.lt(f(x), f(y)).- See also

Returns a scala.collection.Stepper for the elements of this collection.
Returns a scala.collection.Stepper for the elements of this collection.
The Stepper enables creating a Java stream to operate on the collection, see scala.jdk.StreamConverters. For collections holding primitive values, the Stepper can be used as an iterator which doesn't box the elements.
The implicit scala.collection.StepperShape parameter defines the resulting Stepper type according to the element type of this collection.
For collections of
Int,Short,ByteorChar, an scala.collection.IntStepper is returnedFor collections of
DoubleorFloat, a scala.collection.DoubleStepper is returnedFor collections of
Longa scala.collection.LongStepper is returnedFor any other element type, an scala.collection.AnyStepper is returned
Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to
S with EfficientSplit, for example scala.collection.IndexedSeqOps.stepper. For Steppers marked with
scala.collection.Stepper.EfficientSplit, the converters in scala.jdk.StreamConverters
allow creating parallel streams, whereas bare Steppers can be converted only to sequential
streams.
