Class scala.collection.ArrayOps

Companion object ArrayOps

final class ArrayOps[A] extends AnyVal

This class serves as a wrapper for Arrays with many of the operations found in indexed sequences. Where needed, instances of arrays are implicitly converted into this class. There is generally no reason to create an instance explicitly or use an ArrayOps type. It is better to work with plain Array types instead and rely on the implicit conversion to ArrayOps when calling a method (which does not actually allocate an instance of ArrayOps because it is a value class).

Neither Array nor ArrayOps are proper collection types (i.e. they do not extend Iterable or even IterableOnce). mutable.ArraySeq and immutable.ArraySeq serve this purpose.

The difference between this class and ArraySeqs is that calling transformer methods such as filter and map will yield an array, whereas an ArraySeq will remain an ArraySeq.

A

type of the elements contained in this array.

final def !=(arg0: Any): Boolean

Test two objects for inequality.

returns

true if !(this == that), false otherwise.

Definition Classes
Any

final def ##(): Int

Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null. 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. For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.

returns

a hash value consistent with ==

final def asInstanceOf[T0]: 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 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.

returns

the receiver object.

Exceptions thrown

ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.

def collect[B](pf: PartialFunction[A, B])(implicit arg0: ClassTag[B]): Array[B]

returns

a new array resulting from applying the given partial function pf to each element on which it is defined and collecting the results. The order of the elements is preserved.

def collectFirst[B](f: PartialFunction[A, B]): Option[B]

def combinations(n: Int): Iterator[Array[A]]

Iterates over combinations. A _combination_ of length n is a subsequence of the original array, with the elements taken in order. Thus, Array("x", "y") and Array("y", "y") are both length-2 combinations of Array("x", "y", "y"), but Array("y", "x") is not. If there is more than one way to generate the same subsequence, only one will be returned.

For example, Array("x", "y", "y", "y") has three different ways to generate Array("x", "y") depending on whether the first, second, or third "y" is selected. However, since all are identical, only one will be chosen. Which of the three will be taken is an implementation detail that is not defined.

returns

An Iterator which traverses the possible n-element combinations of this array.

Example:
    Array("a", "b", "b", "b", "c").combinations(2) == Iterator(Array(a, b), Array(a, c), Array(b, b), Array(b, c))

Applies a function f to each element of the array and returns a pair of arrays: the first one made of those values returned by f that were wrapped in scala.util.Left, and the second one made of those wrapped in scala.util.Right.

Example:

val xs = Array(1, "one", 2, "two", 3, "three") partitionMap {
 case i: Int => Left(i)
 case s: String => Right(s)
}
// xs == (Array(1, 2, 3),

def sizeIs: Int

Method mirroring SeqOps.sizeIs for consistency, except it returns an Int because size is known and comparison is constant-time.

These operations are equivalent to sizeCompare(Int), and allow the following more readable usages:

this.sizeIs < size     // this.sizeCompare(size) < 0

def span(p: (A) => Boolean): (Array[A], Array[A])

Splits this array into a prefix/suffix pair according to a predicate.

Note: c span p is equivalent to (but more efficient than) (c takeWhile p, c dropWhile p), provided the evaluation of the predicate p does not cause any side-effects.

p

the test predicate

returns

a pair consisting of the longest prefix of this array whose elements all satisfy p, and the rest of this array.

def splitAt(n: Int): (Array[A], Array[A])

Splits this array into two at a given position. Note: c splitAt n is equivalent to (c take n, c drop n).

n

the position at which to split.

returns

a pair of arrays consisting of the first n elements of this array, and the other elements.

def startsWith[B >: A](that: IterableOnce[B], offset: Int = 0): Boolean

Tests whether this array contains the given sequence at a given index.

that

the sequence to test

offset

the index where the sequence is searched.

returns

true if the sequence that is contained in this array at index offset, otherwise false.

def startsWith[B >: A](that: Array[B], offset: Int): Boolean

Tests whether this array contains the given array at a given index.

that

the array to test

offset

the index where the array is searched.

returns

true if the array that is contained in this array at index offset, otherwise false.

def startsWith[B >: A](that: Array[B]): Boolean

Tests whether this array starts with the given array.

def tail: Array[A]

def tails: Iterator[Array[A]]

Iterates over the tails of this array. The first value will be this array and the final one will be an empty array, with the intervening values the results of successive applications of tail.

returns

an iterator over all the tails of this array

def take(n: Int): Array[A]

def takeRight(n: Int): Array[A]

def takeWhile(p: (A) => Boolean): Array[A]

Takes longest prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.

p

The predicate used to test elements.

returns

the longest prefix of this array whose elements all satisfy the predicate p.

def transpose[B](implicit asArray: (A) => Array[B]): Array[Array[B]]

Transposes a two dimensional array.

B

Type of row elements.

asArray

A function that converts elements of this array to rows - arrays of type B.

returns

An array obtained by replacing elements of this arrays with rows the represent.

def unzip[A1, A2](implicit asPair: (A) => (A1, A2), ct1: ClassTag[A1], ct2: ClassTag[A2]): (Array[A1], Array[A2])

Converts an array of pairs into an array of first elements and an array of second elements.

A1

the type of the first half of the element pairs

A2

the type of the second half of the element pairs

asPair

an implicit conversion which asserts that the element type of this Array is a pair.

ct1

a class tag for A1 type parameter that is required to create an instance of Array[A1]

ct2

a class tag for A2 type parameter that is required to create an instance of Array[A2]

returns

a pair of Arrays, containing, respectively, the first and second half of each element pair of this Array.

def unzip3[A1, A2, A3](implicit asTriple: (A) => (A1, A2, A3), ct1: ClassTag[A1], ct2: ClassTag[A2], ct3: ClassTag[A3]): (Array[A1], Array[A2], Array[A3])

Converts an array of triples into three arrays, one containing the elements from each position of the triple.

A1

the type of the first of three elements in the triple

A2

the type of the second of three elements in the triple

A3

the type of the third of three elements in the triple

asTriple

an implicit conversion which asserts that the element type of this Array is a triple.

ct1

a class tag for T1 type parameter that is required to create an instance of Array[T1]

ct2

a class tag for T2 type parameter that is required to create an instance of Array[T2]

ct3

a class tag for T3 type parameter that is required to create an instance of Array[T3]

returns

a triple of Arrays, containing, respectively, the first, second, and third elements from each element triple of this Array.

def updated[B >: A](index: Int, elem: B)(implicit arg0: ClassTag[B]): Array[B]

A copy of this array with one single replaced element.

index

the position of the replacement

elem

the replacing element

returns

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

Exceptions thrown

IndexOutOfBoundsException if index does not satisfy 0 <= index < length.

def withFilter(p: (A) => Boolean): ArrayOps.WithFilter[A]

Creates a non-strict filter of this array.

Note: the difference between c filter p and c withFilter p is that the former creates a new array, 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 ArrayOps.WithFilter, which supports map, flatMap, foreach, and withFilter operations. All these operations apply to those elements of this array which satisfy the predicate p.

def zip[B](that: IterableOnce[B]): Array[(A, B)]

Returns an array formed from this array 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.

B

the type of the second half of the returned pairs

that

The iterable providing the second half of each result pair

returns

a new array containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this array and that. The length of the returned array is the minimum of the lengths of this array and that.

def zipAll[A1 >: A, B](that: Iterable[B], thisElem: A1, thatElem: B): Array[(A1, B)]

Returns an array formed from this array 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.

that

the iterable providing the second half of each result pair

thisElem

the element to be used to fill up the result if this array is shorter than that.

thatElem

the element to be used to fill up the result if that is shorter than this array.

returns

a new array containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this array and that. The length of the returned array is the maximum of the lengths of this array and that. If this array is shorter than that, thisElem values are used to pad the result. If that is shorter than this array, thatElem values are used to pad the result.

def zipWithIndex: Array[(A, Int)]

Zips this array with its indices.

returns

A new array containing pairs consisting of all elements of this array paired with their index. Indices start at 0.
