trait Traversable[A] extends collection.Traversable[A] with GenericTraversableTemplate[A, Traversable] with TraversableLike[A, Traversable[A]] with Mutable

A trait for traversable collections that can be mutated.

This is a base trait of all kinds of mutable Scala collections. It implements the behavior common to all collections, in terms of a method foreach with signature:

def foreach[U](f: Elem => U): Unit

Collection classes mixing in this trait provide a concrete foreach method which traverses all the elements contained in the collection, applying a given function to each. They also need to provide a method newBuilder which creates a builder for collections of the same kind.

A traversable class might or might not have two properties: strictness and orderedness. Neither is represented as a type.

The instances of a strict collection class have all their elements computed before they can be used as values. By contrast, instances of a non-strict collection class may defer computation of some of their elements until after the instance is available as a value. A typical example of a non-strict collection class is a scala.collection.immutable.Stream. A more general class of examples are TraversableViews.

If a collection is an instance of an ordered collection class, traversing its elements with foreach will always visit elements in the same order, even for different runs of the program. If the class is not ordered, foreach can visit elements in different orders for different runs (but it will keep the same order in the same run).'

A typical example of a collection class which is not ordered is a HashMap of objects. The traversal order for hash maps will depend on the hash codes of its elements, and these hash codes might differ from one run to the next. By contrast, a LinkedHashMap is ordered because its foreach method visits elements in the order they were inserted into the HashMap.

    [use case]

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

    Example:

    scala> val a = List(1)
    a: List[Int] = List(1)
    
    scala> val b = List(2)
    b: List[Int] = List(2)
    
    scala> val c = a ++ b
    c: List[Int] = List(1, 2)
    
    scala> val d = List('a')
    d: List[Char] = List(a)
    
    scala> val e = c ++ d
    e: List[AnyVal] = List(1, 2, a)
    B

    the element type of the returned collection.

    that

  5. def ++:[B >: A, That](that: collection.Traversable[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[Traversable[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 traversable collection followed by all elements of that.

  14. 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 is similar to foldLeft in that it doesn't require the result to be a supertype of the element type. In addition, it allows parallel collections to be processed in chunks, and then combines the intermediate results.

    aggregate splits the traversable or iterator into partitions and processes each partition by sequentially applying seqop, starting with z (like foldLeft). Those intermediate results are then combined by using combop (like fold). The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions (even 1), so combop may be invoked an arbitrary number of times (even 0).

    As an example, consider summing up the integer values of a list of chars. The initial value for the sum is 0. First, seqop transforms each input character to an Int and adds it to the sum (of the partition). Then, combop just needs to sum up the intermediate results of the partitions:

    List('a', 'b', 'c').aggregate(0)({ (sum, ch) => sum + ch.toInt }, { (p1, p2) => p1 + p2 })
    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) and may be evaluated more than once

    an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

    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.

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

    Tests whether the argument (that) 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).

    [use case]

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

    For example:

    The type of the resulting collection is guided by the static type of collection. 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 an Iterable[Int]

    Tests whether this traversable collection is known to have a finite size.

    Tests whether this traversable collection 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. Non-empty Iterators usually return false even if they were created from a collection with a known finite size.

    Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes. The typical failure mode is an infinite loop. These methods always attempt a traversal without checking first that hasDefiniteSize returns true. However, checking hasDefiniteSize can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.

    true if this collection is known to have finite size, false otherwise.
