Set

trait Set[A] extends (A) ⇒ Boolean with Iterable[A] with GenSet[A] with GenericSetTemplate[A, Set] with SetLike[A, Set[A]]

A base trait for all sets, mutable as well as immutable.

A set is a collection that contains no duplicate elements.

Implementation note: This trait provides most of the operations of a Set independently of its representation. It is typically inherited by concrete implementations of sets.

To implement a concrete set, you need to provide implementations of the following methods:

      def contains(key: A): Boolean
      def iterator: Iterator[A]
      def +(elem: A): This
      def -(elem: A): This

If you wish that methods like take, drop, filter return the same kind of set, you should also override:

      def empty: This

It is also good idea to override methods foreach and size for efficiency.

Implementation note: If your additions and mutations return the same kind of set as the set you are defining, you should inherit from SetLike as well.

  9. def ++:[B >: A, That](that: Traversable[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[Set[A], B, That]): That

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

    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.

    B

    the element type of the returned collection.

    That

    the class of the returned collection. Where possible, That is the same class as the current collection class Repr, but this depends on the element type B being admissible for that class, which means that an implicit instance of type CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That] is found.

    that

    the traversable to append.

    bf

    an implicit value of class CanBuildFrom which determines the result class That from the current representation type Repr and and the new element type B.

    returns

    a new collection of type That which contains all elements of this set followed by all elements of that.

  21. 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)

    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).

    returns

    true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.
