Set

Creates a new set with an additional element, unless the element is already present.

Creates a new set with a given element removed from this set.

Tests if some element is contained in this set.

Test two objects for inequality.

Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.

Computes the intersection between this set and another set.

Note: Same as intersect.

The difference of this set and another set.

Note: Same as diff.

Creates a new immutable set with additional elements.

This method takes two or more elements to be added. Another overloaded variant of this method handles the case where a single element is added.

Creates a new immutable set by adding all elements contained in another collection to this immutable set.

Returns a new immutable set containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand. The element type of the immutable set is the most specific superclass encompassing the element types of the two operands.

Example:

scala> val a = LinkedList(1)
a: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1)

scala> val b = LinkedList(2)
b: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(2)

scala> val c = a ++ b
c: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)

scala> val d = LinkedList('a')
d: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Char] = LinkedList(a)

scala> val e = c ++ d
e: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[AnyVal] = LinkedList(1, 2, a)

As with ++, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.

It differs from ++ in that the right operand determines the type of the resulting collection rather than the left one. Mnemonic: the COLon is on the side of the new COLlection type.

Example:

scala> val x = List(1)
x: List[Int] = List(1)

scala> val y = LinkedList(2)
y: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(2)

scala> val z = x ++: y
z: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)

This overload exists because: for the implementation of ++: we should reuse that of ++ because many collections override it with more efficient versions.

Since TraversableOnce has no ++ method, we have to implement that directly, but Traversable and down can use the overload.

As with ++, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.

It differs from ++ in that the right operand determines the type of the resulting collection rather than the left one. Mnemonic: the COLon is on the side of the new COLlection type.

Example:

scala> val x = List(1)
x: List[Int] = List(1)

scala> val y = LinkedList(2)
y: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(2)

scala> val z = x ++: y
z: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)

Creates a new immutable set from this immutable set with some elements removed.

This method takes two or more elements to be removed. Another overloaded variant of this method handles the case where a single element is removed.

Creates a new immutable set from this immutable set by removing all elements of another collection.

Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this immutable set, going left to right.

Note: /: is alternate syntax for foldLeft; z /: xs is the same as xs foldLeft z.

Examples:

Note that the folding function used to compute b is equivalent to that used to compute c.

scala> val a = LinkedList(1,2,3,4)
a: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = (5 /: a)(_+_)
b: Int = 15

scala> val c = (5 /: a)((x,y) => x + y)
c: Int = 15

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered. or the operator is associative and commutative.

Applies a binary operator to all elements of this immutable set and a start value, going right to left.

Note: :\ is alternate syntax for foldRight; xs :\ z is the same as xs foldRight z.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered. or the operator is associative and commutative.

Examples:

Note that the folding function used to compute b is equivalent to that used to compute c.

scala> val a = LinkedList(1,2,3,4)
a: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = (a :\ 5)(_+_)
b: Int = 15

scala> val c = (a :\ 5)((x,y) => x + y)
c: Int = 15

Test two objects for equality. The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

Appends all elements of this immutable set to a string builder. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this immutable set without any separator string.

Example:

scala> val a = LinkedList(1,2,3,4)
a: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = new StringBuilder()
b: StringBuilder =

scala> val h = a.addString(b)
b: StringBuilder = 1234

Appends all elements of this immutable set to a string builder using a separator string. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this immutable set, separated by the string sep.

Example:

scala> val a = LinkedList(1,2,3,4)
a: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = new StringBuilder()
b: StringBuilder =

scala> a.addString(b, ", ")
res0: StringBuilder = 1, 2, 3, 4

Appends all elements of this immutable set to a string builder using start, end, and separator strings. The written text 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 immutable set are separated by the string sep.

Example:

scala> val a = LinkedList(1,2,3,4)
a: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = new StringBuilder()
b: StringBuilder =

scala> a.addString(b, "LinkedList(", ", ", ")")
res1: StringBuilder = LinkedList(1, 2, 3, 4)

Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

This is a more general form of fold and reduce. It has similar semantics, but does not require the result to be a supertype of the element type. It traverses the elements in different partitions sequentially, using seqop to update the result, and then applies combop to results from different partitions. The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions, so combop may be invoked an arbitrary number of times.

For example, one might want to process some elements and then produce a Set. In this case, seqop would process an element and append it to the list, while combop would concatenate two lists from different partitions together. The initial value z would be an empty set.

pc.aggregate(Set[Int]())(_ += process(_), _ ++ _)

Another example is calculating geometric mean from a collection of doubles (one would typically require big doubles for this).

Composes two instances of Function1 in a new Function1, with this function applied first.

Tests if some element is contained in this set.

This method is equivalent to contains. It allows sets to be interpreted as predicates.

Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

Method called from equality methods, so that user-defined subclasses can refuse to be equal to other collections of the same kind.

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

Builds a new collection by applying a partial function to all elements of this immutable set on which the function is defined.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

The factory companion object that builds instances of class immutable.Set. (or its Iterable superclass where class immutable.Set is not a Seq.)

Composes two instances of Function1 in a new Function1, with this function applied last.

Copies elements of this immutable set to an array. Fills the given array xs with at most len elements of this immutable set, starting at position start. Copying will stop once either the end of the current immutable set is reached, or the end of the array is reached, or len elements have been copied.

Copies values of this immutable set to an array. Fills the given array xs with values of this immutable set. Copying will stop once either the end of the current immutable set is reached, or the end of the array is reached.

Copies values of this immutable set to an array. Fills the given array xs with values of this immutable set, beginning at index start. Copying will stop once either the end of the current immutable set is reached, or the end of the array is reached.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Drops longest prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Tests whether the argument (arg0) 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).

Compares this set with another object for equality.

Note: This operation contains an unchecked cast: if that is a set, it will assume with an unchecked cast that it has the same element type as this set. Any subsequent ClassCastException is treated as a false result.

Tests whether a predicate holds for some of the elements of this immutable set.

Selects all elements of this immutable set which satisfy a predicate.

Selects all elements of this immutable set which do not satisfy a predicate.

Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

Finds the first element of the immutable set satisfying a predicate, if any.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Builds a new collection by applying a function to all elements of this immutable set and using the elements of the resulting collections.

For example:

def getWords(lines: Seq[String]): Seq[String] = lines flatMap (line => line split "\\W+")

The type of the resulting collection is guided by the static type of immutable set. This might cause unexpected results sometimes. For example:

// lettersOf will return a Seq[Char] of likely repeated letters, instead of a Set
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words flatMap (word => word.toSet)

// lettersOf will return a Set[Char], not a Seq
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words.toSet flatMap (word => word.toSeq)

// xs will be a an Iterable[Int]
val xs = Map("a" -> List(11,111), "b" -> List(22,222)).flatMap(_._2)

// ys will be a Map[Int, Int]
val ys = Map("a" -> List(1 -> 11,1 -> 111), "b" -> List(2 -> 22,2 -> 222)).flatMap(_._2)

Converts this immutable set of traversable collections into a immutable set formed by the elements of these traversable collections.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the static type of immutable set. For example:

val xs = List(Set(1, 2, 3), Set(1, 2, 3))
// xs == List(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)

val ys = Set(List(1, 2, 3), List(3, 2, 1))
// ys == Set(1, 2, 3)

Folds the elements of this immutable set using the specified associative binary operator.

The order in which operations are performed on elements is unspecified and may be nondeterministic.

Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this immutable set, going left to right.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered. or the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered. or the operator is associative and commutative.

Tests whether a predicate holds for all elements of this immutable set.

Applies a function f to all elements of this immutable set.

Note: this method underlies the implementation of most other bulk operations. Subclasses should re-implement this method if a more efficient implementation exists.

Returns string formatted according to given format string. Format strings are as for String.format (@see java.lang.String.format).

The generic builder that builds instances of immutable.Set at arbitrary element types.

A representation that corresponds to the dynamic class of the receiver object.

The nature of the representation is platform dependent.

Partitions this immutable set into a map of immutable sets according to some discriminator function.

Note: this method is not re-implemented by views. This means when applied to a view it will always force the view and return a new immutable set.

Partitions elements in fixed size immutable sets.

Tests whether this immutable set 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.

Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes.

Computes the intersection between this set and another set.

Tests if this set is empty.

Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.

Tests whether this immutable set can be repeatedly traversed.

Selects the last element.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Optionally selects the last element.

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

Returns a parallel implementation of this collection.

For most collection types, this method creates a new parallel collection by copying all the elements. For these collection, par takes linear time. Mutable collections in this category do not produce a mutable parallel collection that has the same underlying dataset, so changes in one collection will not be reflected in the other one.

Specific collections (e.g. ParArray or mutable.ParHashMap) override this default behaviour by creating a parallel collection which shares the same underlying dataset. For these collections, par takes constant or sublinear time.

All parallel collections return a reference to themselves.

The default par implementation uses the combiner provided by this method to create a new parallel collection.

Returns an Iterator over the elements in this immutable set. Will return the same Iterator if this instance is already an Iterator.

Converts this immutable set to a list.

Converts this immutable set to a map. This method is unavailable unless the elements are members of Tuple2, each ((T, U)) becoming a key-value pair in the map. Duplicate keys will be overwritten by later keys: if this is an unordered collection, which key is in the resulting map is undefined.

Converts this immutable set to a sequence. As with toIterable, it's lazy in this default implementation, as this TraversableOnce may be lazy and unevaluated.

Converts this immutable set to a set.
