Sum of length of three Option[Array[T]]

flatmap(e => e).map(_.length).sum

what exactly are you doing, btw?

I oversimplified, this is tipically my case.
trait Stuff[T<:Numeric] {  def returnSomething:Int}class LotOfStuff(val doubles:Option[Stuff[Double]],val ints:Option[Stuff[Int]], val longs:Option[Stuff[Long]])  { // don't work, they are options    val total = doubles.returnSomething + ints.returnSomething + longs.returnSomething;}
How do I use flatmap? I need to concatenate the three options in a List before...right?

You want to send a function into the option to work on the "stuff"
inside it, right?

the name for that is map, so you're looking at
val doublesSomething = doubles.map(_.returnSomething) //this is of
type Option[Int]
val intsSomething = //same thing
//etc

so now you can do a couple of things, but the interesting ones involve
scalaz, which I'm not going to recommend to you until you've got a
solid handle on the less abstract ways to handle things.

I think the simplest solution is likely to be
doublesSomething.getOrElse(0) + intSomethings.getOrElse(0) +
longsSomethings.getOrElse(0)

val doubles = Option( Array(1.0, 2.0) )
val ints = Option( Array(0, -1) )
val longs = Option( Array(5000000000L) )

List(doubles, ints, longs).flatMap(_.map(_.length)).sum  // Returns 5
