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.

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

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.

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.

See also equals in scala.Any.

Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

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

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.

Equivalent to !(this eq that).

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.

The default line separator.

On the JVM, this is equivalent to calling the method: java.lang.System.lineSeparator

Assigns the value of 0 to each element in the array.

Copies length elements of array src starting at position srcPos to the array dest starting at position destPos. If src==dest, the copying will behave as if the elements copied from src were first copied to a temporary array before being copied back into the array at the destination positions.

Runs the garbage collector.

This is a request that the underlying JVM runs the garbage collector. The results of this call depends heavily on the JVM used. The underlying JVM is free to ignore this request.

Creates a new array of the specified type and given length.

Note that if elemClass is a subclass of scala.AnyVal then the returned value is an Array of the corresponding java primitive type. For example, the following code scala.compat.Platform.createArray(classOf[Int], 4) returns an array of the java primitive type int.

For a scala.AnyVal array, the values of the array are set to 0 for numeric value types (scala.Double, scala.Float, scala.Long, scala.Int, scala.Char, scala.Short, and scala.Byte), and false for scala.Boolean. Creation of an array of type scala.Unit is not possible.

For subclasses of scala.AnyRef, the values of the array are set to null.

The caller must cast the returned value to the correct type.

The current time in milliseconds. The time is counted since 1 January 1970 UTC.

Note that the operating system timer used to obtain this value may be less precise than a millisecond.

The name of the default character set encoding as a string

Returns the Class object associated with the class or interface with the given string name using the current ClassLoader. On the JVM, invoking this method is equivalent to: java.lang.Class.forName(name)
