Method Detail

fold

default T fold(T zero,
               java.util.function.BiFunction<? super T,? super T,? extends T> combine)

Deprecated.

Folds this elements using the given associative binary operator, starting with zero and successively calling combine. The order in which the elements are combined is non-deterministic.

The methods fold, foldLeft and foldRight differ in how the elements are combined:

• foldLeft(Object, BiFunction) associates to the left
• foldRight(Object, BiFunction) associates to the right
• fold takes an associative combine operation because the traversal of elements is unordered/non-deterministic. The associativity guarantees that in each case the result will be the same, it does not matter in which order the elements are combined. Generally binary operators aren't associative, i.e. the result may differ if elements are combined in a different order.

  We say that this Foldable and the associative combine operation form a Monoid.

Example:

 
 // = 6
 Set(1, 2, 3).fold(0, (a, b) -> a + b);
  

Parameters:

zero - A zero element to start with.

combine - A function which combines elements.

Returns:

a folded value

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if combine is null

foldLeft

<U> U foldLeft(U zero,
               java.util.function.BiFunction<? super U,? super T,? extends U> combine)

Deprecated.

Folds this elements from the left, starting with zero and successively calling combine.

Example:

 
 // = "cba!"
 List("a", "b", "c").foldLeft("!", (xs, x) -> x + xs)

                java.util.function.BiFunction<? super T,? super U,? extends U> combine)
