  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.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.collection.parallel` - Parallel collections (scala-parallel-collections.jar)
  - `scala.util.parsing` - Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)
  - `scala.swing` - A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.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 more detailed guide to Futures and Promises, including discussion and examples can be found at https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/futures.html.

  #### Common Imports

  When working with Futures, you will often find that importing the whole concurrent package is convenient:

      import scala.concurrent._

  When using things like `Future`s, it is often required to have an implicit `ExecutionContext` in scope. The general advice for these implicits are as follows.

  If the code in question is a class or method definition, and no `ExecutionContext` is available, request one from the caller by adding an implicit parameter list:

      def myMethod(myParam: MyType)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext) = …
      //Or
      class MyClass(myParam: MyType)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext) { … }

  This allows the caller of the method, or creator of the instance of the class, to decide which `ExecutionContext` should be used.

  For typical REPL usage and experimentation, importing the global `ExecutionContext` is often desired.

      import scala.concurrent.ExcutionContext.Implicits.global

  #### Specifying Durations

  Operations often require a duration to be specified. A duration DSL is available to make defining these easier:

      import scala.concurrent.duration._
      val d: Duration = 10.seconds

  #### Using Futures For Non-blocking Computation

  Basic use of futures is easy with the factory method on Future, which executes a provided function asynchronously, handing you back a future result of that function without blocking the current thread. In order to create the Future you will need either an implicit or explicit ExecutionContext to be provided:

      import scala.concurrent._
      import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global  // implicit execution context

      val firstZebra: Future[Int] = Future {
        val words = Files.readAllLines("/etc/dictionaries-common/words").asScala
        words.indexOfSlice("zebra")
      }

  #### Avoid Blocking

  Although blocking is possible in order to await results (with a mandatory timeout duration):

      import scala.concurrent.duration._
      Await.result(firstZebra, 10.seconds)

  and although this is sometimes necessary to do, in particular for testing purposes, blocking in general is discouraged when working with Futures and concurrency in order to avoid potential deadlocks and improve performance. Instead, use callbacks or combinators to remain in the future domain:

      val animalRange: Future[Int] = for {
        aardvark <- firstAardvark
        zebra <- firstZebra
      } yield zebra - aardvark

      animalRange.onSuccess {
        case x if x > 500000 => println("It's a long way from Aardvark to Zebra")
      }

  This packages offers a number of converters, that are able to wrap or copy types from the scala library to equivalent types in the JDK class library and vice versa:

  - CollectionConverters, converting collections like scala.collection.Seq, scala.collection.Map, scala.collection.Set, scala.collection.mutable.Buffer, scala.collection.Iterator and scala.collection.Iterable to their JDK counterparts
  - OptionConverters, converting between Option and java.util.Optional and primitive variations
  - StreamConverters, to create JDK Streams from scala collections
  - DurationConverters, for conversions between scala scala.concurrent.duration.FiniteDuration and java.time.Duration
  - FunctionConverters, from scala Functions to java java.util.function.Function, java.util.function.UnaryOperator, java.util.function.Consumer and java.util.function.Predicate, as well as primitive variations and Bi-variations.

  By convention, converters that wrap an object to provide a different interface to the same underlying data structure use .asScala and .asJava extension methods, whereas converters that copy the underlying data structure use .toScala and .toJava.

  In the javaapi package, the same converters can be found with a java-friendly interface that don't rely on implicit enrichments.

  Additionally, this package offers Accumulators, capable of efficiently traversing JDK Streams.

# Predef

###

#### object Predef extends LowPriorityImplicits

The `Predef` object provides definitions that are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification.

##### Commonly Used Types

Predef provides type aliases for types which are commonly used, such as the immutable collection types scala.collection.immutable.Map and scala.collection.immutable.Set.

##### Console Output

For basic console output, `Predef` provides convenience methods print and println, which are aliases of the methods in the object scala.Console.

##### Assertions

A set of `assert` functions are provided for use as a way to document and dynamically check invariants in code. Invocations of `assert` can be elided at compile time by providing the command line option `-Xdisable-assertions`, which raises `-Xelide-below` above `elidable.ASSERTION`, to the `scalac` command.

Variants of `assert` intended for use with static analysis tools are also provided: `assume`, `require` and `ensuring`. `require` and `ensuring` are intended for use as a means of design-by-contract style specification of pre- and post-conditions on functions, with the intention that these specifications could be consumed by a static analysis tool. For instance,

    def addNaturals(nats: List[Int]): Int = {
      require(nats forall (_ >= 0), "List contains negative numbers")
      nats.foldLeft(0)(_ + _)
    } ensuring(_ >= 0)

The declaration of `addNaturals` states that the list of integers passed should only contain natural numbers (i.e. non-negative), and that the result returned will also be natural. `require` is distinct from `assert` in that if the condition fails, then the caller of the function is to blame rather than a logical error having been made within `addNaturals` itself. `ensuring` is a form of `assert` that declares the guarantee the function is providing with regards to its return value.

##### Implicit Conversions

A number of commonly applied implicit conversions are also defined here, and in the parent type scala.LowPriorityImplicits. Implicit conversions are provided for the "widening" of numeric values, for instance, converting a Short value to a Long value as required, and to add additional higher-order functions to Array values. These are described in more detail in the documentation of scala.Array.

    Forces the compiler to treat the receiver object as having type `T0`, even though doing so may violate type safety.

    Forces the compiler to treat the receiver object as having type `T0`, even though doing so may violate type safety.

    This method is useful when you believe you have type information the compiler doesn't, and it also isn't possible to check the type at runtime. In such situations, skipping type safety is the only option.

    It is platform dependent whether `asInstanceOf` has any effect at runtime. It might do a runtime type test on the erasure of `T0`, insert a conversion (such as boxing/unboxing), fill in a default value, or do nothing at all.

    In particular, `asInstanceOf` is not a type test. It does **not** mean:

        this match {
         case x: T0 => x
         case _     => throw ClassCastException("...")

    Use pattern matching or isInstanceOf for type testing instead.

    Situations where `asInstanceOf` is useful:

    - when flow analysis fails to deduce `T0` automatically
    - when down-casting a type parameter or an abstract type member (which cannot be checked at runtime due to type erasure) If there is any doubt and you are able to type test instead, you should do so.

    Be careful of using `asInstanceOf` when `T0` is a primitive type. When `T0` is primitive, `asInstanceOf` may insert a conversion instead of a type test. If your intent is to convert, use a `toT` method (`x.toChar`, `x.toByte`, etc.).

    returns

      the receiver object.

    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`).

56.  final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object has the same erasure as `T0`.

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object has the same erasure as `T0`.

    Depending on what `T0` is, the test is done in one of the below ways:

    - `T0` is a non-parameterized class type, e.g. `BigDecimal`: this method returns `true` if the value of the receiver object is a `BigDecimal` or a subtype of `BigDecimal`.
    - `T0` is a parameterized class type, e.g. `List[Int]`: this method returns `true` if the value of the receiver object is some `List[X]` for any `X`. For example, `List(1, 2, 3).isInstanceOf[List[String]]` will return true.
    - `T0` is some singleton type `x.type` or literal `x`: this method returns `this.eq(x)`. For example, `x.isInstanceOf[1]` is equivalent to `x.eq(1)`
    - `T0` is an intersection `X with Y` or `X & Y: this method is equivalent to` x.isInstanceOf[X] && x.isInstanceOf[Y]``
    - `T0` is a union `X | Y`: this method is equivalent to `x.isInstanceOf[X] || x.isInstanceOf[Y]`
    - `T0` is a type parameter or an abstract type member: this method is equivalent to `isInstanceOf[U]` where `U` is `T0`'s upper bound, `Any` if `T0` is unbounded. For example, `x.isInstanceOf[A]` where `A` is an unbounded type parameter will return true for any value of `x`.

    This is exactly equivalent to the type pattern `_: T0`

    returns

      `true` if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type `T0`; `false` otherwise.

      Any
    Note

      due to the unexpectedness of `List(1, 2, 3).isInstanceOf[List[String]]` returning true and `x.isInstanceOf[A]` where `A` is a type parameter or abstract member returning true, these forms issue a warning.
