final class LazyList[+A] extends AbstractSeq[A], LinearSeq[A], LinearSeqOps[A, LazyList, LazyList[A]], IterableFactoryDefaults[A, LazyList], Serializable

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"

Type parameters

A: the type of the elements contained in this lazy list.

An undefined state is represented with "<not computed>" and cycles are represented with "<cycle>".

This method evaluates all elements of the collection.

Value parameters

end: the ending string.
sb: the string builder to which elements are appended.
sep: the separator string.
start: the starting string.

Attributes

Returns: the string builder b to which elements were appended.

Attributes

Definition Classes: IterableOps
Source: LazyList.scala

Selects all elements except the longest prefix that satisfies a predicate.

The matching prefix starts with the first element of this lazy list, and the element following the prefix is the first element that does not satisfy the predicate. The matching prefix may be empty, so that this method returns the entire lazy list.

Example:

scala> List(1, 2, 3, 100, 4).dropWhile(n => n < 10)
val res0: List[Int] = List(100, 4)

scala> List(1, 2, 3, 100, 4).dropWhile(n => n == 0)
val res1: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 100, 4)

Use span to obtain both the prefix and suffix. Use filterNot to drop all elements that satisfy the predicate.

Attributes

Definition Classes: LinearSeqOps -> IterableOnceOps

Builds a new lazy list by applying a function to all elements of this lazy list 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 lazy list. 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)

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

Evaluates all undefined elements of the lazy list.

This method detects cycles in lazy lists, and terminates after all elements of the cycle are evaluated. For example:

val ring: LazyList[Int] = 1 #:: 2 #:: 3 #:: ring

Analogous to zip except that the elements in each collection are not consumed until a strict operation is invoked on the returned LazyZip2 decorator.

Calls to lazyZip can be chained to support higher arities (up to 4) without incurring the expense of constructing and deconstructing intermediary tuples.

val xs = List(1, 2, 3)
val res = (xs lazyZip xs lazyZip xs lazyZip xs).map((a, b, c, d) => a + b + c + d)
// res == List(4, 8, 12)

Produces a new lazy list where a slice of elements in this lazy list is replaced by another sequence.

Patching at negative indices is the same as patching starting at 0. Patching at indices at or larger than the length of the original lazy list appends the patch to the end. If the replaced count would exceed the available elements, the difference in excess is ignored.

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

Deprecated methods

Tests whether this lazy list is known to have a finite size.

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.

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.

Value parameters

default: the fallback function
x: the function argument

Attributes

Returns: the result of this function or fallback function application.

Iterates over combinations of elements.

A combination of length n is a sequence of n elements selected in order of their first index in this sequence.

For example, "xyx" has two combinations of length 2. The x is selected first: "xx", "xy". The sequence "yx" is not returned as a combination because it is subsumed by "xy".

If there is more than one way to generate the same combination, only one will be returned.

For example, the result "xy" arbitrarily selected one of the x elements.

As a further illustration, "xyxx" has three different ways to generate "xy" because there are three elements x to choose from. Moreover, there are three unordered pairs "xx" but only one is returned.

It is not specified which of these equal combinations is returned. It is an implementation detail that should not be relied on. For example, the combination "xx" does not necessarily contain the first x in this sequence. This behavior is observable if the elements compare equal but are not identical.

As a consequence, "xyx".combinations(3).next() is "xxy": the combination does not reflect the order of the original sequence, but the order in which elements were selected, by "first index"; the order of each x element is also arbitrary.

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

Attributes

Returns

An Iterator which traverses the n-element combinations of this sequence.

Example

Seq('a', 'b', 'b', 'b', 'c').combinations(2).foreach(println)

// List(b, c)

Applies the given binary operator op to the given initial value z and all elements of this collection.

For each application of the operator, each operand is either an element of this collection, the initial value, or another such application of the operator.

The order of applications of the operator is unspecified and may be nondeterministic. Each element appears exactly once in the computation. The initial value may be used an arbitrary number of times, but at least once.

If this collection is ordered, then for any application of the operator, the element(s) appearing in the left operand will precede those in the right.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless either of the following conditions is met: (1) the operator is associative, and the underlying collection type is ordered; or (2) the operator is associative and commutative. In either case, it is also necessary that the initial value be a neutral value for the operator, e.g. Nil for List concatenation or 1 for multiplication.

The default implementation in IterableOnce is equivalent to foldLeft but may be overridden for more efficient traversal orders.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Type parameters

A1: The type parameter for the binary operator, a supertype of A.

Value parameters

op: A binary operator; must be associative for the result to always be the same across runs.
z: An initial value; may be used an arbitrary number of times in the computation of the result; must be a neutral value for op for the result to always be the same across runs.

Attributes

Returns: The result of applying op between all the elements and z, or z if this collection is empty.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this collection and the given initial value z, going right to left.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this collection and the given initial value z, going right to left. Returns the initial value if this collection is empty.

"Going right to left" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this collection, the result is op(x1, op(x2, op( ... op(xn, z) ... ))).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each left operand is an element. In addition, the rightmost operand is the initial value, and each other right operand is itself an application of the operator. The elements of this collection and the initial value all appear exactly once in the computation.

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

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Type parameters

B: The result type of the binary operator.

Defines how to turn a given Iterable[A] into a collection of type C.

This process can be done in a strict way or a non-strict way (ie. without evaluating the elements of the resulting collections). In other words, this methods defines the evaluation model of the collection.

Attributes

Note: When implementing a custom collection type and refining C to the new type, this method needs to be overridden (the compiler will issue an error otherwise). In the common case where C =:= CC[A], this can be done by mixing in the scala.collection.IterableFactoryDefaults trait, which implements the method using iterableFactory.

As witnessed by the @uncheckedVariance annotation, using this method might be unsound. However, as long as it is called with an Iterable[A] obtained from this collection (as it is the case in the implementations of operations where we use a View[A]), it is safe.

Calculates a hash code value for the object.

The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

Attributes

Returns: a strict builder for the same collection type. Note that in the case of lazy collections (e.g. scala.collection.View or scala.collection.immutable.LazyList), it is possible to implement this method but the resulting Builder will break laziness. As a consequence, operations should preferably be implemented with fromSpecific instead of this method.
Note: When implementing a custom collection type and refining C to the new type, this method needs to be overridden (the compiler will issue an error otherwise). In the common case where C =:= CC[A], this can be done by mixing in the scala.collection.IterableFactoryDefaults trait, which implements the method using iterableFactory.

As witnessed by the @uncheckedVariance annotation, using this method might be unsound. However, as long as the returned builder is only fed with A values taken from this instance, it is safe.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this collection, going right to left.

"Going right to left" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this collection, the result is op(x1, op(x2, op( ... op(xn-1, xn) ... ))).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each left operand is an element. In addition, the rightmost operand is the last element of this collection and each other right operand is itself an application of the operator. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

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.

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.
