A flexible iterator for transforming an Iterator[A] into an Iterator[Seq[A]], with configurable sequence size, step, and strategy for dealing with elements which don't fit evenly.

Typical uses can be achieved via methods grouped and sliding.

Appends all elements of this collection to a string builder. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this collection without any separator string.

Example:

scala> val a = List(1,2,3,4)
a: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = new StringBuilder()
b: StringBuilder =

scala> val h = a.addString(b)
h: StringBuilder = 1234

Appends all elements of this collection to a string builder using a separator string. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this collection, separated by the string sep.

Example:

scala> val a = List(1,2,3,4)
a: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = new StringBuilder()
b: StringBuilder =

scala> a.addString(b, ", ")
res0: StringBuilder = 1, 2, 3, 4

Appends all elements of this collection to a string builder using start, end, and separator strings. The written text begins with the string start and ends with the string end. Inside, the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this collection are separated by the string sep.

Example:

scala> val a = List(1,2,3,4)
a: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = new StringBuilder()
b: StringBuilder =

scala> a.addString(b , "List(" , ", " , ")")
res5: StringBuilder = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

Finds the first element of the collection for which the given partial function is defined, and applies the partial function to it.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Tests whether this iterator contains a given value as an element.

Note: may not terminate for infinite iterators.

Copy elements to an array, returning the number of elements written.

Fills the given array xs starting at index start with at most len elements of this collection.

Copying will stop once either all the elements of this collection have been copied, or the end of the array is reached, or len elements have been copied.

Copy elements to an array, returning the number of elements written.

Fills the given array xs starting at index start with values of this collection.

Copying will stop once either all the elements of this collection have been copied, or the end of the array is reached.

Copy elements to an array, returning the number of elements written.

Fills the given array xs starting at index start with values of this collection.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Selects all elements except first n ones.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Drops longest prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Creates two new iterators that both iterate over the same elements as this iterator (in the same order). The duplicate iterators are considered equal if they are positioned at the same element.

Given that most methods on iterators will make the original iterator unfit for further use, this methods provides a reliable way of calling multiple such methods on an iterator.

Tests whether a predicate holds for at least one element of this collection.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Finds the first element of the collection satisfying a predicate, if any.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Builds a new iterator by applying a function to all elements of this iterator and using the elements of the resulting collections.

For example:

def getWords(lines: Seq[String]): Seq[String] = lines flatMap (line => line split "\\W+")

The type of the resulting collection is guided by the static type of iterator. This might cause unexpected results sometimes. For example:

// lettersOf will return a Seq[Char] of likely repeated letters, instead of a Set
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words flatMap (word => word.toSet)

// lettersOf will return a Set[Char], not a Seq
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words.toSet flatMap ((word: String) => word.toSeq)

// xs will be an Iterable[Int]
val xs = Map("a" -> List(11,111), "b" -> List(22,222)).flatMap(_._2)

// ys will be a Map[Int, Int]
val ys = Map("a" -> List(1 -> 11,1 -> 111), "b" -> List(2 -> 22,2 -> 222)).flatMap(_._2)

Converts this iterator of traversable collections into a iterator formed by the elements of these traversable collections.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the type of iterator. For example:

val xs = List(
           Set(1, 2, 3),
           Set(1, 2, 3)
         ).flatten
// xs == List(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)

val ys = Set(
           List(1, 2, 3),
           List(3, 2, 1)
         ).flatten
// ys == Set(1, 2, 3)

Folds the elements of this collection using the specified associative binary operator. The default implementation in IterableOnce is equivalent to foldLeft but may be overridden for more efficient traversal orders.

The order in which operations are performed on elements is unspecified and may be nondeterministic.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Returns an iterator which presents a "sliding window" view of this iterator. The first argument is the window size, and the second argument step is how far to advance the window on each iteration. The step defaults to 1.

The returned GroupedIterator can be configured to either pad a partial result to size size or suppress the partial result entirely.

Example usages:

// Returns List(ArraySeq(1, 2, 3), ArraySeq(2, 3, 4), ArraySeq(3, 4, 5))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(3).toList
// Returns List(ArraySeq(1, 2, 3, 4), ArraySeq(4, 5))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(4, 3).toList
// Returns List(ArraySeq(1, 2, 3, 4))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(4, 3).withPartial(false).toList
// Returns List(ArraySeq(1, 2, 3, 4), ArraySeq(4, 5, 20, 25))
// Illustrating that withPadding's argument is by-name.
val it2 = Iterator.iterate(20)(_ + 5)
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(4, 3).withPadding(it2.next).toList

Splits this iterator into a prefix/suffix pair according to a predicate.

Note: c span p is equivalent to (but possibly more efficient than) (c takeWhile p, c dropWhile p), provided the evaluation of the predicate p does not cause any side-effects.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Splits this collection into a prefix/suffix pair at a given position.

Note: c splitAt n is equivalent to (but possibly more efficient than) (c take n, c drop n).

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

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 or Char, an scala.collection.IntStepper is returned

• For collections of Double or Float, a scala.collection.DoubleStepper is returned

• For collections of Long a scala.collection.LongStepper is returned

• For 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.

Sums up the elements of this collection.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Selects the first n elements.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Takes longest prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Given a collection factory factory, convert this collection to the appropriate representation for the current element type A. Example uses:

xs.to(List) xs.to(ArrayBuffer) xs.to(BitSet) // for xs: Iterable[Int]

Convert collection to array.

Implementation note: DO NOT call Array.from from this method.

Creates an iterator over all the elements of this iterator that satisfy the predicate p. The order of the elements is preserved.

Note: withFilter is the same as filter on iterators. It exists so that for-expressions with filters work over iterators.

Tests whether this iterator 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.
