  This is the documentation for the Scala standard library.

  #### Package structure

  The scala package contains core types like `Int`, `Float`, `Array` or `Option` which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.

  Notable packages include:

  - `scala.collection` and its sub-packages contain Scala's collections framework
    - `scala.collection.immutable` - Immutable, sequential data-structures such as `Vector`, `List`, `Range`, `HashMap` or `HashSet`
    - `scala.collection.mutable` - Mutable, sequential data-structures such as `ArrayBuffer`, `StringBuilder`, `HashMap` or `HashSet`
    - `scala.collection.concurrent` - Mutable, concurrent data-structures such as `TrieMap`
    - `scala.collection.parallel.immutable` - Immutable, parallel data-structures such as `ParVector`, `ParRange`, `ParHashMap` or `ParHashSet`
    - `scala.collection.parallel.mutable` - Mutable, parallel data-structures such as `ParArray`, `ParHashMap`, `ParTrieMap` or `ParHashSet`
  - `scala.concurrent` - Primitives for concurrent programming such as `Futures` and `Promises`
  - `scala.io` - Input and output operations
  - `scala.math` - Basic math functions and additional numeric types like `BigInt` and `BigDecimal`
  - `scala.sys` - Interaction with other processes and the operating system
  - `scala.util.matching` - Regular expressions

  Other packages exist. See the complete list on the right.

  Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:

  - `scala.reflect` - Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)
  - `scala.xml` - XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)
  - `scala.swing` - A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)
  - `scala.util.parsing` - Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)

  #### Automatic imports

  Identifiers in the scala package and the `scala.Predef` object are always in scope by default.

  Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example, `List` is an alias for `scala.collection.immutable.List`.

  Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM, `String` is an alias for `java.lang.String`.

  #### Guide

  A detailed guide for using the collections library is available at http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/collections/introduction.html. Developers looking to extend the collections library can find a description of its architecture at http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/architecture-of-scala-collections.html.

  #### Using Collections

  It is convenient to treat all collections as either a scala.collection.Traversable or scala.collection.Iterable, as these traits define the vast majority of operations on a collection.

  Collections can, of course, be treated as specifically as needed, and the library is designed to ensure that the methods that transform collections will return a collection of the same type:

      scala> val array = Array(1,2,3,4,5,6)
      array: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

      scala> array map { _.toString }
      res0: Array[String] = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

      scala> val list = List(1,2,3,4,5,6)
      list: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

      scala> list map { _.toString }
      res1: List[String] = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

  #### Creating Collections

  The most common way to create a collection is to use its companion object as a factory. The three most commonly used collections are scala.collection.Seq, scala.collection.immutable.Set, and scala.collection.immutable.Map. They can be used directly as shown below since their companion objects are all available as type aliases in either the scala package or in `scala.Predef`. New collections are created like this:

      scala> val seq = Seq(1,2,3,4,1)
      seq: Seq[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 1)

      scala> val set = Set(1,2,3,4,1)
      set: scala.collection.immutable.Set[Int] = Set(1, 2, 3, 4)

      scala> val map = Map(1 -> "one", 2 -> "two", 3 -> "three", 2 -> "too")
      map: scala.collection.immutable.Map[Int,String] = Map(1 -> one, 2 -> too, 3 -> three)

  It is also typical to prefer the scala.collection.immutable collections over those in scala.collection.mutable; the types aliased in the `scala.Predef` object are the immutable versions.

  Also note that the collections library was carefully designed to include several implementations of each of the three basic collection types. These implementations have specific performance characteristics which are described in the guide.

  The concrete parallel collections also have specific performance characteristics which are described in the parallel collections guide

  ##### Converting to and from Java Collections

  The scala.collection.JavaConverters object provides a collection of decorators that allow converting between Scala and Java collections using `asScala` and `asJava` methods.

### Abstract Value Members

1.  abstract def aggregate[B](z: ⇒ B)(seqop: (B, A) ⇒ B, combop: (B, B) ⇒ B): B

   Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

   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 collection 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 })

   B

     the type of accumulated results

   z

     the initial value for the accumulated result of the partition - this will typically be the neutral element for the `seqop` operator (e.g. `Nil` for list concatenation or `0` for summation) and may be evaluated more than once

   seqop

     an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

   combop

     an associative operator used to combine results from different partitions

2.  abstract def count(p: (A) ⇒ Boolean): Int

   op

     a binary operator that must be associative.

   returns

     the result of applying the fold operator `op` between all the elements and `z`, or `z` if this collection or iterator is empty.

6.  abstract def foldLeft[B](z: B)(op: (B, A) ⇒ B): B

   Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this collection or iterator, going left to right.

   Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this collection or iterator, going left to right.

   op

     the binary operator.

   returns

     the result of inserting `op` between consecutive elements of this collection or iterator, going right to left with the start value `z` on the right:

         op(x_1, op(x_2, ... op(x_n, z)...))

     where `x1, ..., xn` are the elements of this collection or iterator. Returns `z` if this collection or iterator is empty.

     Any
10.  abstract def hasDefiniteSize: Boolean

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

    Tests whether this collection or iterator 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.

11.  abstract def isEmpty: Boolean

    Tests whether the collection or iterator is empty.

    Tests whether the collection or iterator is empty.

    Note: Implementations in subclasses that are not repeatedly traversable must take care not to consume any elements when `isEmpty` is called.

    returns

      `true` if the collection or iterator contains no elements, `false` otherwise.

12.  abstract def isTraversableAgain: Boolean

    Tests whether this collection or iterator can be repeatedly traversed.

    Tests whether this collection or iterator can be repeatedly traversed. Always true for Traversables and false for Iterators unless overridden.

    returns

      `true` if it is repeatedly traversable, `false` otherwise.

13.  abstract def mkString: String

    Displays all elements of this collection or iterator in a string.

    Displays all elements of this collection or iterator in a string.

    returns

      a string representation of this collection or iterator. In the resulting string the string representations (w.r.t. the method `toString`) of all elements of this collection or iterator follow each other without any separator string.

14.  abstract def mkString(sep: String): String

    Displays all elements of this collection or iterator in a string using a separator string.

    Displays all elements of this collection or iterator in a string using a separator string.

    sep

      the separator string.

    returns

      a string representation of this collection or iterator. In the resulting string the string representations (w.r.t. the method `toString`) of all elements of this collection or iterator are separated by the string `sep`.

    Example:

    1. `List(1, 2, 3).mkString("|") = "1|2|3"`

15.  abstract def mkString(start: String, sep: String, end: String): String

    Displays all elements of this collection or iterator in a string using start, end, and separator strings.

    Displays all elements of this collection or iterator in a string using start, end, and separator strings.

    start

      the starting string.

    sep

      the separator string.

    end

      the ending string.

    returns

      a string representation of this collection or iterator. The resulting string 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 collection or iterator are separated by the string `sep`.

    Example:

    1. `List(1, 2, 3).mkString("(", "; ", ")") = "(1; 2; 3)"`

16.  abstract def nonEmpty: Boolean

    Tests whether the collection or iterator is not empty.

    Compares the receiver object (`this`) with the argument object (`that`) for equivalence.

    Compares the receiver object (`this`) with the argument object (`that`) for equivalence.

    Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:

    - It is reflexive: for any instance `x` of type `Any`, `x.equals(x)` should return `true`.
    - It is symmetric: for any instances `x` and `y` of type `Any`, `x.equals(y)` should return `true` if and only if `y.equals(x)` returns `true`.
    - It is transitive: for any instances `x`, `y`, and `z` of type `Any` if `x.equals(y)` returns `true` and `y.equals(z)` returns `true`, then `x.equals(z)` should return `true`.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override `hashCode` to ensure that objects which are "equal" (`o1.equals(o2)` returns `true`) hash to the same scala.Int. (`o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)`).

    returns

    Calculate 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.
