Method Summary
override def canEqual (arg0 : Any) : Boolean
An equality helper method to assist in maintaining reflexivity in the face of subtyping. For more, see http://www.artima.com/lejava/articles/equality.html
override def head : B
Returns this first element of the list.
override def isEmpty : Boolean
Returns true if the list does not contain any elements.
override def productArity : Int
return k for a product A(x_1,...,x_k)
override def productElement (arg0 : Int) : Any
for a product A(x_1,...,x_k), returns x_(n+1) for 0 <= n < k
override def productPrefix : java.lang.String
By default the empty string. Implementations may override this method in order to prepend a string prefix to the result of the toString methods.
override def tail : List[B]
Returns this list without its first element.
