PriorityQueue

This class implements priority queues using a heap. To prioritize elements of type A there must be an implicit Ordering[A] available at creation.

If multiple elements have the same priority in the ordering of this PriorityQueue, no guarantees are made regarding the order in which elements are returned by dequeue or dequeueAll. In particular, that means this class does not guarantee first in first out behaviour that may be incorrectly inferred from the Queue part of the name of this class.

Only the dequeue and dequeueAll methods will return elements in priority order (while removing elements from the heap). Standard collection methods including drop, iterator, and toString will remove or traverse the heap in whichever order seems most convenient.

Therefore, printing a PriorityQueue will not reveal the priority order of the elements, though the highest-priority element will be printed first. To print the elements in order, one must duplicate the PriorityQueue (by using clone, for instance) and then dequeue them:

Type parameters:
A

type of the elements in this priority queue.

Value parameters:
ord

implicit ordering used to compare the elements of type A.

Example:

val pq = collection.mutable.PriorityQueue(1, 2, 5, 3, 7)
println(pq)                  // elements probably not in order
println(pq.clone.dequeueAll) // prints ArraySeq(7, 5, 3, 2, 1)

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

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

The returned iterator will be empty when called on an empty collection. The last element the iterator produces may be smaller than the window size when the original collection isn't exhausted by the window before it and its last element isn't skipped by the step before it.

Value parameters:
size

step

Returns:

An iterator producing iterable collections of size size, except the last element (which may be the only element) will be smaller if there are fewer than size elements remaining to be grouped.

def stepper[S <: Stepper[_]](implicit shape: StepperShape[A, S]): S

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.

Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to S with EfficientSplit, for example scala.collection.IndexedSeqOps.stepper.

@deprecated("Check .knownSize instead of .hasDefiniteSize for more actionable information (see scaladoc for details)", "2.13.0")

Tests whether this collection is known to have a finite size.

Tests whether this collection 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.

Returns:

true if this collection is known to have finite size, false otherwise.

See also:

method knownSize for a more useful alternative

Deprecated

This method is deprecated in 2.13 because it does not provide any actionable information. As noted above, even the collection library itself does not use it. When there is no guarantee that a collection is finite, it is generally best to attempt a computation anyway and document that it will not terminate for infinite collections rather than backing out because this would prevent performing the computation on collections that are in fact finite even though hasDefiniteSize returns false.
