[use case]
Returns a new list containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand. The element type of the list is the most specific superclass encompassing the element types of the two operands.
Example:
```

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

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)

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

scala> val z = x ++: y

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

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 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).
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)
seqop
an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain.
Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain. Applies fallback function where this partial function is not defined.
Note that expression pf.applyOrElse(x, default) is equivalent to
```
if(pf isDefinedAt x) pf(x) else default(x)
```
except that applyOrElse method can be implemented more efficiently. For all partial function literals compiler generates applyOrElse implementation which avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards. This makes applyOrElse the basis for the efficient implementation for many operations and scenarios, such as:
- combining partial functions into orElse/andThen chains does not lead to excessive apply/isDefinedAt evaluation
- lift and unlift do not evaluate source functions twice on each invocation
- runWith allows efficient imperative-style combining of partial functions with conditionally applied actions
For non-literal partial function classes with nontrivial isDefinedAt method it is recommended to override applyOrElse with custom implementation that avoids double isDefinedAt evaluation. This may result in better performance and more predictable behavior w.r.t. side effects.

Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).
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).

Builds a new collection by applying a function to all elements of this list 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 list. 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)

def view(from: Int, until: Int): SeqView[A, List[A]]

Creates a non-strict view of a slice of this list.
Creates a non-strict view of a slice of this list.
Note: the difference between view and slice is that view produces a view of the current list, whereas slice produces a new list.
Note: view(from, to) is equivalent to view.slice(from, to)
from
the index of the first element of the view
until
the index of the element following the view
returns
a non-strict view of a slice of this list, starting at index from and extending up to (but not including) index until.

def withFilter(p: (A) ⇒ Boolean): FilterMonadic[A, List[A]]

Creates a non-strict filter of this list.
Creates a non-strict filter of this list.
Note: the difference between c filter p and c withFilter p is that the former creates a new collection, whereas the latter only restricts the domain of subsequent map, flatMap, foreach, and withFilter operations.
p
the predicate used to test elements.
returns
an object of class WithFilter, which supports map, flatMap, foreach, and withFilter operations. All these operations apply to those elements of this list which satisfy the predicate p.
