Test two objects for inequality.

Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.

Concatenates this iterator with another.

The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

Sends an abort signal to other workers.

Abort flag being true means that a worker can abort and produce whatever result, since its result will not affect the final result of computation. An example of operations using this are find, forall and exists methods.

Appends all elements of this traversable or iterator to a string builder. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this traversable or iterator 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 traversable or iterator 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 traversable or iterator, 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 traversable or iterator 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 traversable or iterator 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)

Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

This is a more general form of fold and reduce. It is similar to foldLeft in that it doesn't require the result to be a supertype of the element type. In addition, it allows parallel collections to be processed in chunks, and then combines the intermediate results.

aggregate splits the traversable or iterator into partitions and processes each partition by sequentially applying seqop, starting with z (like foldLeft). Those intermediate results are then combined by using combop (like fold). The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions (even 1), so combop may be invoked an arbitrary number of times (even 0).

As an example, consider summing up the integer values of a list of chars. The initial value for the sum is 0. First, seqop transforms each input character to an Int and adds it to the sum (of the partition). Then, combop just needs to sum up the intermediate results of the partitions:

List('a', 'b', 'c').aggregate(0)({ (sum, ch) => sum + ch.toInt }, { (p1, p2) => p1 + p2 })

Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

Note: may not terminate for infinite iterators.

Creates a copy of this iterator.

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 the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

• It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
• For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.
• null.eq(null) returns true.

When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to eq.

The hashCode method for reference types. See hashCode in scala.Any.

Returns the value of the index flag.

The index flag holds an integer which carries some operation-specific meaning. For instance, takeWhile operation sets the index flag to the position of the element where the predicate fails. Other workers may check this index against the indices they are working on and return if this index is smaller than their index. Examples of operations using this are takeWhile, dropWhile, span and indexOf.

Checks whether an abort signal has been issued.

Abort flag being true means that a worker can abort and produce whatever result, since its result will not affect the final result of computation. An example of operations using this are find, forall and exists methods.

Tests whether this iterator is empty.

Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.

For most collections, this is a cheap operation. Exceptions can override this method.

The number of elements this iterator has yet to traverse. This method doesn't change the state of the iterator.

This method is used to provide size hints to builders and combiners, and to approximate positions of iterators within a data structure.

Note: This method may be implemented to return an upper bound on the number of elements in the iterator, instead of the exact number of elements to iterate. Parallel collections which have such iterators are called non-strict-splitter collections.

In that case, 2 considerations must be taken into account:

1) classes that inherit ParIterable must reimplement methods take, drop, slice, splitAt, copyToArray and all others using this information.

2) if an iterator provides an upper bound on the number of elements, then after splitting the sum of remaining values of split iterators must be less than or equal to this upper bound.

Tests if another iterator produces the same values as this one.

Note: will not terminate for infinite iterators.

Other workers may check this index against the indices they are working on and return if this index is smaller than their index. Examples of operations using this are takeWhile, dropWhile, span and indexOf.

Creates an iterator returning an interval of the values produced by this iterator.

Creates an optionally bounded slice, unbounded if until is negative.

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

Example usages:

// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3), List(2, 3, 4), List(3, 4, 5))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(3).toList
// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3, 4), List(4, 5))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(4, 3).toList
// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3, 4))
(1 to 5).iterator.sliding(4, 3).withPartial(false).toList
// Returns List(List(1, 2, 3, 4), List(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.

Splits the iterator into a sequence of disjunct views.

Returns a sequence of split iterators, each iterating over some subset of the elements in the collection. These subsets are disjoint and should be approximately equal in size. These subsets are not empty, unless the iterator is empty in which case this method returns a sequence with a single empty iterator. If the splitter has more than two elements, this method will return two or more splitters.

Implementors are advised to keep this partition relatively small - two splitters are already enough when partitioning the collection, although there may be a few more.

Note: this method actually invalidates the current splitter.
