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
// 3
To 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
// 5
Note 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"

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.
This method preserves laziness; elements are only evaluated individually as needed.

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.

- default
the fallback function
- x
the function argument

the result of this function or fallback function application.

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.

Optionally applies a binary operator to all elements of this collection, going right to left.
Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.
Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.
- Type parameters:
- B
the result type of the binary operator.
- Value parameters:
- op
the binary operator.
- Returns:
an option value containing the result of
reduceRight(op)
if this collection is nonempty,None
otherwise.- Inherited from:

An iterator yielding elements in reversed order.
An iterator yielding elements in reversed order.
Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.
Note: xs.reverseIterator
is the same as xs.reverse.iterator
but might be more efficient.
Composes this partial function with an action function which gets applied to results of this partial function.
Composes this partial function with an action function which gets applied to results of this partial function. The action function is invoked only for its side effects; its result is ignored.
Note that expression pf.runWith(action)(x)
is equivalent to
if(pf isDefinedAt x) { action(pf(x)); true } else false
except that runWith
is implemented via applyOrElse
and thus potentially more efficient.
Using runWith
avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards for partial function literals.
- Value parameters:
- action
the action function
- Returns:
a function which maps arguments
x
toisDefinedAt(x)
. The resulting function runsaction(this(x))

Produces a collection containing cumulative results of applying the operator going right to left.
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.
Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.
Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.
Example:
List(1, 2, 3, 4).scanRight(0)(_ + _) == List(10, 9, 7, 4, 0)
- Type parameters:
- B
the type of the elements in the resulting collection
- Value parameters:

Search within an interval in this sorted sequence for a specific element.
Search within an interval in this sorted sequence for a specific element. If this
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.
- Value parameters:
- elem
the element to find.
- from
the index where the search starts.
- ord
the ordering to be used to compare elements.
- to
the index following where the search ends.
- Returns:

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

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 parameters:
- size
the number of elements per group
- Returns:
An iterator producing iterable collections of size
size
, except for a non-empty collection with less thansize
elements, which returns an iterator that produces the source collection itself as its only element.- 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
,Byte
orChar
, an scala.collection.IntStepper is returnedFor collections of
Double
orFloat
, a scala.collection.DoubleStepper is returnedFor collections of
Long
a 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.
