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 collection 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 })
the type of accumulated results
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
an associative operator used to combine results from different partitions

holds for all elements of this collection or iterator, otherwise false
.
Tests whether this collection or iterator is known to have a finite size.
Tests whether this collection or iterator 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.

false
otherwise.
