AbstractPartialFunction
AbstractPartialFunction
reformulates all operations of its supertrait PartialFunction
in terms of isDefinedAt
and applyOrElse
.
This allows more efficient implementations in many cases:
- optimized orElse
method supports chained orElse
in linear time,
and with no slow-down if the orElse
part is not needed.
- optimized lift
method helps to avoid double evaluation of pattern matchers & guards
of partial function literals.
This trait is used as a basis for implementation of all partial function literals.
Value members

Apply the body of this function to the argument.
Apply the body of this function to the argument.
- Returns:
the result of function application.

Inherited methods
Composes this partial function with another partial function that gets applied to results of this partial function.
Composes this partial function with another partial function that gets applied to results of this partial function.
Note that calling isDefinedAt on the resulting partial function may apply the first partial function and execute its side effect. For efficiency, it is recommended to call applyOrElse instead of isDefinedAt or apply.
- Type parameters:
- C
the result type of the transformation function.
- Value parameters:
- k
the transformation function
- Returns:
a partial function with the domain of this partial function narrowed by other partial function, which maps arguments

Composes this partial function with a transformation function that gets applied to results of this partial function.
If the runtime type of the function is a PartialFunction
then the
other andThen
method is used (note its cautions).
- Type parameters:
- C
the result type of the transformation function.
- Value parameters:
- k

- Returns:
a partial function with the domain of this partial function, possibly narrowed by the specified function, which maps arguments

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.
- Value parameters:
- default
the fallback function
- x
the function argument
- Returns:
the result of this function or fallback function application.

Composes another partial function k
with this partial function so that this
partial function gets applied to results of k
.
Composes another partial function k
with this partial function so that this
partial function gets applied to results of k
.
Note that calling isDefinedAt on the resulting partial function may apply the first partial function and execute its side effect. For efficiency, it is recommended to call applyOrElse instead of isDefinedAt or apply.
- Type parameters:
- R
the parameter type of the transformation function.
- Value parameters:

- Returns:
a partial function with the domain of other partial function narrowed by this partial function, which maps arguments
x

the fallback function
- Returns:
a partial function which has as domain the union of the domains of this partial function and

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))

is defined.- See also:
