You mean like:
Array(1,2,3).toList

Is there any built-in way to produce a list from an array? Or does one have to construct the list element by element, generating many intermediate lists that will be thrown out.

and if you mean a Java List...

Arrays.asList( scalaArray : _* )

Note: I believe you have to import java.util.Arrays or something like that.

Hi,

Just to clarify :
when you use a list to create another one (with a new head),
nothing is thrown out ! The first list IS the tail.
