Trait scala.collection.IterableOnceOps

trait IterableOnceOps[+A, +CC[_], +C] extends Any

This implementation trait can be mixed into an IterableOnce to get the basic methods that are shared between Iterator and Iterable. The IterableOnce must support multiple calls to iterator but may or may not return the same Iterator every time.

Abstract Value Members

abstract def collect[B](pf: PartialFunction[A, B]): CC[B]

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

B

the element type of the returned collection.

pf

the partial function which filters and maps the collection.

returns

a new collection 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.

Note

Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterator that was returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterator as well.

abstract def drop(n: Int): C

Selects all elements except first n ones.

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

n

the number of elements to drop from this collection.

returns

a collection consisting of all elements of this collection except the first n ones, or else the empty collection, if this collection has less than n elements. If n is negative, don't drop any elements.

Note

Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterator that was returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterator as well.

abstract def dropWhile(p: (A) => Boolean): C

Drops longest prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.

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

p

The predicate used to test elements.

returns

the longest suffix of this collection whose first element does not satisfy the predicate p.

Note

Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterator that was returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterator as well.

abstract def filter(p: (A) => Boolean): C

Selects all elements of this collection which satisfy a predicate.

p

the predicate used to test elements.

returns

a new iterator consisting of all elements of this collection that satisfy the given predicate p. The order of the elements is preserved.

abstract def filterNot(pred: (A) => Boolean): C

Selects all elements of this collection which do not satisfy a predicate.

pred

the predicate used to test elements.

returns

a new collection consisting of all elements of this collection that do not satisfy the given predicate pred. Their order may not be preserved.

abstract def flatMap[B](f: (A) => IterableOnce[B]): CC[B]

Builds a new collection by applying a function to all elements of this collection 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 collection. 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: String) => word.toSeq)

// xs will be 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)
B

the element type of the returned collection.

f

the function to apply to each element.

returns

a new collection resulting from applying the given collection-valued function f to each element of this collection and concatenating the results.

Note

Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterator that was returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterator as well.

abstract def flatten[B](implicit asIterable: (A) => IterableOnce[B]): CC[B]

Converts this collection of traversable collections into a collection formed by the elements of these traversable collections.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the type of collection. For example:

val xs = List(
           Set(1, 2, 3),
           Set(1, 2, 3)
         ).flatten
// xs == List(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)

val ys = Set(
           List(1, 2, 3),
           List(3, 2, 1)
         ).flatten
// ys == Set(1, 2, 3)
B

the type of the elements of each traversable collection.

asIterable

an implicit conversion which asserts that the element type of this collection is a GenTraversable.

returns

a new collection resulting from concatenating all element collections.

Note

Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterator that was returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterator as well.

abstract def scanLeft[B](z: B)(op: (B, A) => B): CC[B]

Produces a collection containing cumulative results of applying the operator going left to right, including the initial value.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

until

the lowest index to EXCLUDE from this collection.

returns

abstract def span(p: (A) => Boolean): (C, C)

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

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

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

p

the test predicate

returns

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

Note

Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterators that were returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterators as well.

abstract def take(n: Int): C

Selects the first n elements.

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

n

the number of elements to take from this collection.

returns

a collection consisting only of the first n elements of this collection, or else the whole collection, if it has less than n elements. If n is negative, returns an empty collection.

Note

Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterator that was returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterator as well.

f

a function to apply to each element in this collection

returns

The same logical collection as this

Note

Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterator that was returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterator as well.

a: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = new StringBuilder()
b: StringBuilder =

scala> a.addString(b, ", ")

the starting string.

sep

the separator string.

end

the ending string.

returns

the string builder b to which elements were appended.

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.

Definition Classes

Exceptions thrown

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

def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

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 type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type Any if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

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) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

returns

true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

def find(p: (A) => Boolean): Option[A]

Finds the first element of the collection satisfying a predicate, if any.

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

p

the predicate used to test elements.

returns

an option value containing the first element in the collection that satisfies p, or None if none exists.

def fold[A1 >: A](z: A1)(op: (A1, A1) => A1): A1

Folds the elements of this collection using the specified associative binary operator. The default implementation in IterableOnce is equivalent to foldLeft but may be overridden for more efficient traversal orders.

The order in which operations are performed on elements is unspecified and may be nondeterministic.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

A1

a type parameter for the binary operator, a supertype of A.

z

a neutral element for the fold operation; may be added to the result an arbitrary number of times, and must not change the result (e.g., Nil for list concatenation, 0 for addition, or 1 for multiplication).

op

a binary operator that must be associative.

returns

the result of applying the fold operator op between all the elements and z, or z if this collection is empty.

def foldLeft[B](z: B)(op: (B, A) => B): B

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

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.

B

the result type of the binary operator.

z

the start value.

op

the binary operator.

returns

the result of inserting op between consecutive elements of this collection, going left to right with the start value z on the left:

op(...op(z, x_1), x_2, ..., x_n)

where x1, ..., xn are the elements of this collection. Returns z if this collection is empty.

def foldRight[B](z: B)(op: (A, B) => B): B

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

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.

B

the result type of the binary operator.

z

the start value.

op

the binary operator.

returns

the result of inserting op between consecutive elements of this collection, going right to left with the start value z on the right:

op(x_1, op(x_2, ... op(x_n, z)...))

where x1, ..., xn are the elements of this collection. Returns z if this collection is empty.

def forall(p: (A) => Boolean): Boolean

Tests whether a predicate holds for all elements of this collection.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

p

the predicate used to test elements.

returns

true if this collection is empty or the given predicate p holds for all elements of this collection, otherwise false.

def hashCode(): Int

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) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) 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 the equals method.

returns

def isEmpty: Boolean

Tests whether the collection is empty.

Note: Implementations in subclasses that are not repeatedly traversable must take care not to consume any elements when isEmpty is called.

returns

true if the collection contains no elements, false otherwise.

final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

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.

final def mkString: String

Displays all elements of this collection in a string.

Delegates to addString, which can be overridden.

returns

a string representation of this collection. In the resulting string the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this collection follow each other without any separator string.

Annotations
@inline()

final def mkString(sep: String): String

Displays all elements of this collection in a string using a separator string.

Delegates to addString, which can be overridden.

B

the result type of the binary operator.

op

the binary operator.

returns

the result of inserting op between consecutive elements of this collection, going left to right:

op( op( ... op(x_1, x_2) ..., x_{n-1}), x_n)

where x1, ..., xn are the elements of this collection.

Exceptions thrown

UnsupportedOperationException if this collection is empty.

def reduceLeftOption[B >: A](op: (B, A) => B): Option[B]

Optionally applies a binary operator to all elements of this collection, going left to right.

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.

B

the result type of the binary operator.

op

the binary operator.

returns

an option value containing the result of reduceLeft(op) if this collection is nonempty, None otherwise.

def reduceOption[B >: A](op: (B, B) => B): Option[B]

Reduces the elements of this collection, if any, using the specified associative binary operator.

The order in which operations are performed on elements is unspecified and may be nondeterministic.

B

A type parameter for the binary operator, a supertype of A.

op

A binary operator that must be associative.

returns

An option value containing result of applying reduce operator op between all the elements if the collection is nonempty, and None otherwise.

def reduceRight[B >: A](op: (A, B) => B): B

Applies a binary operator to all elements of this collection, going right to left.

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.

B

the result type of the binary operator.

op

the binary operator.

returns

the result of inserting op between consecutive elements of this collection, going right to left:

op(x_1, op(x_2, ..., op(x_{n-1}, x_n)...))

where x1, ..., xn are the elements of this collection.

Exceptions thrown

UnsupportedOperationException if this collection is empty.

def reduceRightOption[B >: A](op: (A, B) => B): Option[B]

Optionally applies a binary operator to all elements of this collection, going right to left.

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.

B

the result type of the binary operator.

op

the binary operator.

returns

an option value containing the result of reduceRight(op) if this collection is nonempty, None otherwise.

def reversed: Iterable[A]

Attributes
protected

def size: Int

The size of this collection.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

returns

the number of elements in this collection.

def splitAt(n: Int): (C, C)

Splits this collection into a prefix/suffix pair at a given position.

Note: c splitAt n is equivalent to (but possibly more efficient than) (c take n, c drop n).

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

n

the position at which to split.

returns

a pair of collections consisting of the first n elements of this collection, and the other elements.

Note

Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterators that were returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterators as well.

def sum[B >: A](implicit num: math.Numeric[B]): B

Sums up the elements of this collection.

B

the result type of the + operator.

num

an implicit parameter defining a set of numeric operations which includes the + operator to be used in forming the sum.

returns

the sum of all elements of this collection with respect to the + operator in num.

def to[C1](factory: Factory[A, C1]): C1

Given a collection factory factory, convert this collection to the appropriate representation for the current element type A. Example uses:

xs.to(List) xs.to(ArrayBuffer) xs.to(BitSet) // for xs: Iterable[Int]

def toArray[B >: A](implicit arg0: ClassTag[B]): Array[B]

final def toBuffer[B >: A]: Buffer[B]

def toSet[B >: A]: immutable.Set[B]

def toString(): String

Returns a string representation of the object.

The default representation is platform dependent.

returns

a string representation of the object.
