GenMapLike

Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this general map, going left to right.

Note: /: is alternate syntax for foldLeft; z /: xs is the same as xs foldLeft z.

Examples:

Note that the folding function used to compute b is equivalent to that used to compute c.

scala> val a = LinkedList(1,2,3,4)
a: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = (5 /: a)(_+_)
b: Int = 15

scala> val c = (5 /: a)((x,y) => x + y)
c: Int = 15

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered. or the operator is associative and commutative.

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).

A method that should be called from every well-designed equals method that is open to be overridden in a subclass. See Programming in Scala, Chapter 28 for discussion and design.

Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.

For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.

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

Example:

scala> val a = LinkedList(1)
a: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1)

scala> val b = LinkedList(2)
b: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(2)

scala> val c = a ++ b
c: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)

scala> val d = LinkedList('a')
d: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Char] = LinkedList(a)

scala> val e = c ++ d
e: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[AnyVal] = LinkedList(1, 2, a)

Test two objects for equality. The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

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.

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

Builds a new collection by applying a partial function to all elements of this general map on which the function is defined.

Copies values of this general map to an array. Fills the given array xs with values of this general map, beginning at index start. Copying will stop once either the end of the current general map is reached, or the end of the array is reached.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Copies values of this general map to an array. Fills the given array xs with values of this general map. Copying will stop once either the end of the current general map is reached, or the end of the array is reached.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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).

Compares two maps structurally; i.e. checks if all mappings contained in this map are also contained in the other map, and vice versa.

Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

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

For example:

def getWords(lines: Seq[String]): Seq[String] = lines flatMap (line => line split "\\W+")

The type of the resulting collection is guided by the static type of general map. 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 a an Iterable[Int]
val xs = Map("a" -> List(11,111), "b" -> List(22,222)).flatMap(_._2)

// ys will be a Map[Int, Int]
val ys = Map("a" -> List(1 -> 11,1 -> 111), "b" -> List(2 -> 22,2 -> 222)).flatMap(_._2)

Applies a function f to all elements of this general map.

Returns string formatted according to given format string. Format strings are as for String.format (@see java.lang.String.format).

A representation that corresponds to the dynamic class of the receiver object.

The nature of the representation is platform dependent.

Returns the value associated with a key, or a default value if the key is not contained in the map.

The hashCode method for reference types. See hashCode in scala.Any.

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.

Builds a new collection by applying a function to all elements of this general map.

Finds the largest element.

Finds the smallest element.

Equivalent to !(this eq that).

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

Returns a parallel implementation of this collection.

For most collection types, this method creates a new parallel collection by copying all the elements. For these collection, par takes linear time. Mutable collections in this category do not produce a mutable parallel collection that has the same underlying dataset, so changes in one collection will not be reflected in the other one.

Specific collections (e.g. ParArray or mutable.ParHashMap) override this default behaviour by creating a parallel collection which shares the same underlying dataset. For these collections, par takes constant or sublinear time.

All parallel collections return a reference to themselves.

Multiplies up the elements of this collection.

Checks if the other iterable collection contains the same elements in the same order as this general map.

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

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Converts this general map to a map. This method is unavailable unless the elements are members of Tuple2, each ((T, U)) becoming a key-value pair in the map. Duplicate keys will be overwritten by later keys: if this is an unordered collection, which key is in the resulting map is undefined.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.

Returns a general map formed from this general map and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is longer than the other, its remaining elements are ignored.

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

Returns a general map formed from this general map 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.
