object Null extends MetaData with Product with Serializable

Essentially, every method in here is a dummy, returning Zero[T]. It provides a backstop for the unusual collection defined by MetaData, sort of a linked list of tails.

    This method is used to 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 typed.

    This method is used to test whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    This method is used to test whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    The eq method implements an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation] on non-null instances of AnyRef: * It is reflexive: for any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(x) returns true. * It is symmetric: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, x.eq(y) returns true if and only if y.eq(x) returns true. * It is transitive: for any non-null instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.eq(y) returns true and y.eq(z) returns true, then x.eq(z) returns true.

    Additionally, the eq method has three other 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).

    arg0

    the object to compare against this object for reference equality.

  182. def zipAll [B] ( that : Iterable[B] , thisElem : MetaData , thatElem : B ) : Iterable[(MetaData, B)]

    [use case] Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs.

    [use case]

    Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is shorter than the other, placeholder elements are used to extend the shorter collection to the length of the longer.

    B

    the type of the second half of the returned pairs

    that

    The iterable providing the second half of each result pair

    thisElem

    the element to be used to fill up the result if this iterable collection is shorter than that.

    thatElem

    the element to be used to fill up the result if that is shorter than this iterable collection.

    returns

    a new iterable collection containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this iterable collection and that. The length of the returned collection is the maximum of the lengths of this iterable collection and that. If this iterable collection is shorter than that, thisElem values are used to pad the result. If that is shorter than this iterable collection, thatElem values are used to pad the result.

  183. def zipAll [B, A1 >: MetaData, That] ( that : Iterable[B] , thisElem : A1 , thatElem : B )(implicit bf : CanBuildFrom[Iterable[MetaData], (A1, B), That] ) : That

    Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs.

    Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is shorter than the other, placeholder elements are used to extend the shorter collection to the length of the longer.

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

    that

    the iterable providing the second half of each result pair

    thisElem

    the element to be used to fill up the result if this iterable collection is shorter than that.

    thatElem

    the element to be used to fill up the result if that is shorter than this iterable collection.

    returns

    a new collection of type That containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this iterable collection and that. The length of the returned collection is the maximum of the lengths of this iterable collection and that. If this iterable collection is shorter than that, thisElem values are used to pad the result. If that is shorter than this iterable collection, thatElem values are used to pad the result.

  184. def zipWithIndex : Iterable[(MetaData, Int)]

    [use case] Zips this iterable collection with its indices.

    [use case]

    Zips this iterable collection with its indices.

    returns

    A new iterable collection containing pairs consisting of all elements of this iterable collection paired with their index. Indices start at 0. @example List("a", "b", "c").zipWithIndex = List(("a", 0), ("b", 1), ("c", 2))

  185. def zipWithIndex [A1 >: MetaData, That] (implicit bf : CanBuildFrom[Iterable[MetaData], (A1, Int), That] ) : That

    Zips this iterable collection with its indices.

    Zips this iterable collection with its indices.

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

    A1

    the type of the first half of the returned pairs (this is always a supertype of the collection's element type A).

    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 (A1, Int) being admissible for that class, which means that an implicit instance of type CanBuildFrom[Repr, (A1, Int), That]. is found.

    returns

    A new collection of type That containing pairs consisting of all elements of this iterable collection paired with their index. Indices start at 0.
