Seq

trait Seq [+A] extends PartialFunction[Int, A] with Iterable[A] with GenSeq[A] with GenericTraversableTemplate[A, Seq] with SeqLike[A, Seq[A]]

A base trait for sequences.

Sequences are special cases of iterable collections of class Iterable. Unlike iterables, sequences always have a defined order of elements. Sequences provide a method apply for indexing. Indices range from 0 up the the length of a sequence. Sequences support a number to find occurrences of elements or subsequences, including segmentLength, prefixLength, indexWhere, indexOf, lastIndexWhere, lastIndexOf, startsWith, endsWith, indexOfSlice.

Another way to see a sequence is as a PartialFunction from Int values to the element type of the sequence. The isDefinedAt method of a sequence returns true for the interval from 0 until length.

Sequences can be accessed in reverse order of their elements, using methods reverse and reverseIterator.

Sequences have two principal subtraits, IndexedSeq and LinearSeq, which give different guarantees for performance. An IndexedSeq provides fast random-access of elements and a fast length operation. A LinearSeq provides fast access only to the first element via head, but also has a fast tail operation.

  22. 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 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).

    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)

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 (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).

  98. def isInstanceOf [T0] : Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. 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 specified type.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.

    A copy of this sequence with one single replaced element.

    B

    the element type of the returned sequence.

    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.

    index

    the position of the replacement

    elem

    the replacing element

    bf

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

    returns

    a new sequence which is a copy of this sequence with the element at position index replaced by elem.

    Creates a non-strict view of a slice of this sequence.

    Creates a non-strict view of a slice of this sequence.

    Note: the difference between view and slice is that view produces a view of the current sequence, whereas slice produces a new sequence.

    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 sequence, starting at index from and extending up to (but not including) index until.

    Creates a non-strict filter of this sequence.

    Creates a non-strict filter of this sequence.

    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 sequence which satisfy the predicate p.
