abstract class Any
Class Any
is the root of the Scala class hierarchy. Every class in a Scala
execution environment inherits directly or indirectly from this class.
Starting with Scala 2.10 it is possible to directly extend Any
using universal traits.
A universal trait is a trait that extends Any
, only has def
s as members, and does no initialization.
The main use case for universal traits is to allow basic inheritance of methods for value classes. For example,
trait Printable extends Any { def print(): Unit = println(this) } class Wrapper(val underlying: Int) extends AnyVal with Printable val w = new Wrapper(3) w.print()
See the Value Classes and Universal Traits for more details on the interplay of universal traits and value classes.

##(): Int
Equivalent to

.Equivalent to
x.hashCode
except for boxed numeric types andnull
. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. Fornull
returns a hashcode wherenull.hashCode
throws aNullPointerException
.- returns
a hash value consistent with ==

==(arg0: Any): Boolean
Test two objects for equality.
Test two objects for equality. The expression
x == that
is equivalent toif (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that)
.- returns
true
if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument;false
otherwise.

final
def
asInstanceOf[T0]: T0
Cast the receiver object to be of type
T0
.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 aClassCastException
at runtime, while the expressionList(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.- returns
the receiver object.
- Exceptions thrown
ClassCastException
if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of typeT0

def
equals(arg0: Any): Boolean
Compares the receiver object (
this
) with the argument object (that
) for equivalence.Compares the receiver object (
this
) with the argument object (that
) for equivalence.Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:
- It is reflexive: for any instance
x
of typeAny
,x.equals(x)
should returntrue
. - It is symmetric: for any instances
x
andy
of typeAny
,x.equals(y)
should returntrue
if and only ify.equals(x)
returnstrue
. - It is transitive: for any instances
x
,y
, andz
of typeAny
ifx.equals(y)
returnstrue
andy.equals(z)
returnstrue
, thenx.equals(z)
should returntrue
.
If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override
hashCode
to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2)
returnstrue
) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)
).- returns
true
if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument;false
otherwise.
- It is reflexive: for any instance

def
hashCode(): Int
Calculate a hash code value for the object.
Calculate a hash code value for the object.
The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.
Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (
o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)
) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2)
returnsfalse
). A degenerate implementation could always return0
. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2)
returnstrue
) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)
). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with theequals
method.- returns
the hash code value for this object.

final
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 returnfalse
, while the expressionList(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]]
will returntrue
. 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 typeT0
;false
otherwise.
