Guide

A more detailed guide to Futures and Promises, including discussion and examples can be found at http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/futures.html.

Common Imports

When working with Futures, you will often find that importing the whole concurrent package is convenient:

import scala.concurrent._

When using things like Futures, it is often required to have an implicit ExecutionContext in scope. The general advice for these implicits are as follows.

If the code in question is a class or method definition, and no ExecutionContext is available, request one from the caller by adding an implicit parameter list:

def myMethod(myParam: MyType)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext) = …
//Or
class MyClass(myParam: MyType)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext) { … }

This allows the caller of the method, or creator of the instance of the class, to decide which ExecutionContext should be used.

For typical REPL usage and experimentation, importing the global ExecutionContext is often desired.

import scala.concurrent.ExcutionContext.Implicits.global

Specifying Durations

Operations often require a duration to be specified. A duration DSL is available to make defining these easier:

import scala.concurrent.duration._
val d: Duration = 10.seconds

Using Futures For Non-blocking Computation

Basic use of futures is easy with the factory method on Future, which executes a provided function asynchronously, handing you back a future result of that function without blocking the current thread. In order to create the Future you will need either an implicit or explicit ExecutionContext to be provided:

import scala.concurrent._
import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global  // implicit execution context

val firstZebra: Future[Int] = Future {
  val source = scala.io.Source.fromFile("/etc/dictionaries-common/words")
  source.toSeq.indexOfSlice("zebra")
}

Avoid Blocking

Although blocking is possible in order to await results (with a mandatory timeout duration):

import scala.concurrent.duration._
Await.result(firstZebra, 10.seconds)

and although this is sometimes necessary to do, in particular for testing purposes, blocking in general is discouraged when working with Futures and concurrency in order to avoid potential deadlocks and improve performance. Instead, use callbacks or combinators to remain in the future domain:

val animalRange: Future[Int] = for {
  aardvark <- firstAardvark
  zebra <- firstZebra
} yield zebra - aardvark

animalRange.onSuccess {
  case x if x > 500000 => println("It's a long way from Aardvark to Zebra")
}

Type Members

type ::[A] = scala.collection.immutable.::[A]

sealed abstract class <:<[-From, +To] extends (From) => To with Serializable

An instance of A <:< B witnesses that A is a subtype of B. Requiring an implicit argument of the type A <:< B encodes the generalized constraint A <: B.

To constrain any abstract type T that's in scope in a method's argument list (not just the method's own type parameters) simply add an implicit argument of type T <:< U, where U is the required upper bound; or for lower-bounds, use: L <:< T, where L is the required lower bound.

In case of any confusion over which method goes in what direction, all the "Co" methods (including apply) go from left to right in the type ("with" the type), and all the "Contra" methods go from right to left ("against" the type). E.g., apply turns a From into a To, and substituteContra replaces the Tos in a type with Froms.

      // Because (A <:< Option[B]) <: (A => Option[B]), ev can be called to turn the

sealed abstract class =:=[From, To] extends <:<[From, To] with Serializable

An instance of A =:= B witnesses that the types A and B are equal. It also acts as a A <:< B, but not a B <:< A (directly) due to restrictions on subclassing.

In case of any confusion over which method goes in what direction, all the "Co" methods (including apply) go from left to right in the type ("with" the type), and all the "Contra" methods go from right to left ("against" the type). E.g., apply turns a From into a To, and substituteContra replaces the Tos in a type with Froms.

type AbstractMethodError = java.lang.AbstractMethodError

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 defs 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.

abstract class AnyVal extends Any

AnyVal is the root class of all value types, which describe values not implemented as objects in the underlying host system. Value classes are specified in Scala Language Specification, section 12.2.

The standard implementation includes nine AnyVal subtypes:

scala.Double, scala.Float, scala.Long, scala.Int, scala.Char, scala.Short, and scala.Byte are the numeric value types.

scala.Unit and scala.Boolean are the non-numeric value types.

Other groupings:

Prior to Scala 2.10, AnyVal was a sealed trait. Beginning with Scala 2.10, however, it is possible to define a subclass of AnyVal called a user-defined value class which is treated specially by the compiler. Properly-defined user value classes provide a way to improve performance on user-defined types by avoiding object allocation at runtime, and by replacing virtual method invocations with static method invocations.

User-defined value classes which avoid object allocation...

    must have a single val parameter that is the underlying runtime representation.can define defs, but no vals, vars, or nested traitss, classes or objects.typically extend no other trait apart from AnyVal.cannot be used in type tests or pattern matching.may not override equals or hashCode methods.

A minimal example:

class Wrapper(val underlying: Int) extends AnyVal {
  def foo: Wrapper = new Wrapper(underlying * 19)
}

It's important to note that user-defined value classes are limited, and in some circumstances, still must allocate a value class instance at runtime. These limitations and circumstances are explained in greater detail in the Value Classes and Universal Traits.

trait App extends DelayedInit

The App trait can be used to quickly turn objects into executable programs. Here is an example:

object Main extends App {
  Console.println("Hello World: " + (args mkString ", "))
}

No explicit main method is needed. Instead, the whole class body becomes the “main method”.

args returns the current command line arguments as an array.

Caveats

It should be noted that this trait is implemented using the DelayedInit functionality, which means that fields of the object will not have been initialized before the main method has been executed.

Future versions of this trait will no longer extend DelayedInit.

final class Array[T] extends java.io.Serializable with java.lang.Cloneable

Arrays are mutable, indexed collections of values. Array[T] is Scala's representation for Java's T[].

val numbers = Array(1, 2, 3, 4)
val first = numbers(0) // read the first element
numbers(3) = 100 // replace the 4th array element with 100
val biggerNumbers = numbers.map(_ * 2) // multiply all numbers by two

Arrays make use of two common pieces of Scala syntactic sugar, shown on lines 2 and 3 of the above example code. Line 2 is translated into a call to apply(Int), while line 3 is translated into a call to update(Int, T).

Two implicit conversions exist in scala.Predef that are frequently applied to arrays: a conversion to scala.collection.ArrayOps (shown on line 4 of the example above) and a conversion to scala.collection.mutable.ArraySeq (a subtype of scala.collection.Seq). Both types make available many of the standard operations found in the Scala collections API. The conversion to ArrayOps is temporary, as all operations defined on ArrayOps return an Array, while the conversion to ArraySeq is permanent as all operations return a ArraySeq.

The conversion to ArrayOps takes priority over the conversion to ArraySeq. For instance, consider the following code:

val arr = Array(1, 2, 3)
val arrReversed = arr.reverse
val seqReversed : collection.Seq[Int] = arr.reverse

Value arrReversed will be of type Array[Int], with an implicit conversion to ArrayOps occurring to perform the reverse operation. The value of seqReversed, on the other hand, will be computed by converting to ArraySeq first and invoking the variant of reverse that returns another ArraySeq.

abstract final class Boolean extends AnyVal

Boolean (equivalent to Java's boolean primitive type) is a subtype of scala.AnyVal. Instances of Boolean are not represented by an object in the underlying runtime system.

There is an implicit conversion from scala.Boolean => scala.runtime.RichBoolean which provides useful non-primitive operations.

abstract final class Byte extends AnyVal

Byte, a 8-bit signed integer (equivalent to Java's byte primitive type) is a subtype of scala.AnyVal. Instances of Byte are not represented by an object in the underlying runtime system.

There is an implicit conversion from scala.Byte => scala.runtime.RichByte which provides useful non-primitive operations.

There is an implicit conversion from scala.Double => scala.runtime.RichDouble which provides useful non-primitive operations.

final class DummyImplicit extends AnyRef

trait Dynamic extends Any

A marker trait that enables dynamic invocations. Instances x of this trait allow method invocations x.meth(args) for arbitrary method names meth and argument lists args as well as field accesses x.field for arbitrary field names field.

If a call is not natively supported by x (i.e. if type checking fails), it is rewritten according to the following rules:

foo.method("blah")      ~~> foo.applyDynamic("method")("blah")
foo.method(x = "blah")  ~~> foo.applyDynamicNamed("method")(("x", "blah"))
foo.method(x = 1, 2)    ~~> foo.applyDynamicNamed("method")(("x", 1), ("", 2))
foo.field           ~~> foo.selectDynamic("field")
foo.varia = 10      ~~> foo.updateDynamic("varia")(10)
foo.arr(10) = 13    ~~> foo.selectDynamic("arr").update(10, 13)
foo.arr(10)         ~~> foo.applyDynamic("arr")(10)

As of Scala 2.10, defining direct or indirect subclasses of this trait is only possible if the language feature dynamics is enabled.

type Either[+A, +B] = scala.util.Either[A, B]

abstract class Enumeration extends Serializable

Defines a finite set of values specific to the enumeration. Typically these values enumerate all possible forms something can take and provide a lightweight alternative to case classes.

Each call to a Value method adds a new unique value to the enumeration. To be accessible, these values are usually defined as val members of the enumeration.

All values in an enumeration share a common, unique type defined as the Value type member of the enumeration (Value selected on the stable identifier path of the enumeration instance).

Values SHOULD NOT be added to an enumeration after its construction; doing so makes the enumeration thread-unsafe. If values are added to an enumeration from multiple threads (in a non-synchronized fashion) after construction, the behavior of the enumeration is undefined.

abstract final class Nothing extends Any

Nothing is - together with scala.Null - at the bottom of Scala's type hierarchy.

Nothing is a subtype of every other type (including scala.Null); there exist no instances of this type. Although type Nothing is uninhabited, it is nevertheless useful in several ways. For instance, the Scala library defines a value scala.collection.immutable.Nil of type List[Nothing]. Because lists are covariant in Scala, this makes scala.collection.immutable.Nil an instance of List[T], for any element of type T.

Another usage for Nothing is the return type for methods which never return normally. One example is method error in scala.sys, which always throws an exception.

abstract final class Null extends AnyRef

Null is - together with scala.Nothing - at the bottom of the Scala type hierarchy.

Null is a subtype of all reference types; its only instance is the null reference. Since Null is not a subtype of value types, null is not a member of any such type. For instance, it is not possible to assign null to a variable of type scala.Int.

type NullPointerException = java.lang.NullPointerException

type Numeric[T] = scala.math.Numeric[T]

sealed abstract class Option[+A] extends IterableOnce[A] with Product with Serializable

Represents optional values. Instances of Option are either an instance of scala.Some or the object None.

The most idiomatic way to use an scala.Option instance is to treat it as a collection or monad and use map,flatMap, filter, or foreach:

val name: Option[String] = request getParameter "name"
val upper = name map { _.trim } filter { _.length != 0 } map { _.toUpperCase }
println(upper getOrElse "")

Note that this is equivalent to

val upper = for {
  name <- request getParameter "name"
  trimmed <- Some(name.trim)
  upper <- Some(trimmed.toUpperCase) if trimmed.length != 0
} yield upper
println(upper getOrElse "")

Because of how for comprehension works, if None is returned from request.getParameter, the entire expression results in None

This allows for sophisticated chaining of scala.Option values without having to check for the existence of a value.

These are useful methods that exist for both scala.Some and None.

    isDefined — True if not empty isEmpty — True if empty nonEmpty — True if not empty orElse — Evaluate and return alternate optional value if empty getOrElse — Evaluate and return alternate value if empty get — Return value, throw exception if empty fold — Apply function on optional value, return default if empty map — Apply a function on the optional value flatMap — Same as map but function must return an optional value foreach — Apply a procedure on option value collect — Apply partial pattern match on optional value filter — An optional value satisfies predicate filterNot — An optional value doesn't satisfy predicate exists — Apply predicate on optional value, or false if empty forall — Apply predicate on optional value, or true if empty contains — Checks if value equals optional value, or false if empty zip — Combine two optional values to make a paired optional value unzip — Split an optional pair to two optional values unzip3 — Split an optional triple to three optional values toList — Unary list of optional value, otherwise the empty list

A less-idiomatic way to use scala.Option values is via pattern matching:

val nameMaybe = request getParameter "name"
nameMaybe match {
  case Some(name) =>
    println(name.trim.toUppercase)
  case None =>
    println("No name value")
}

Interacting with code that can occasionally return null can be safely wrapped in scala.Option to become None and scala.Some otherwise.

val abc = new java.util.HashMap[Int, String]
abc.put(1, "A")
bMaybe = Option(abc.get(2))
bMaybe match {
  case Some(b) =>
    println(s"Found $b")
  case None =>
    println("Not found")
}

Many of the methods in here are duplicative with those in the Traversable hierarchy, but they are duplicated for a reason: the implicit conversion tends to leave one with an Iterable in situations where one could have retained an Option.

trait PartialFunction[-A, +B] extends (A) => B

A partial function of type PartialFunction[A, B] is a unary function where the domain does not necessarily include all values of type A. The function isDefinedAt allows to test dynamically if a value is in the domain of the function.

Even if isDefinedAt returns true for an a: A, calling apply(a) may still throw an exception, so the following code is legal:

val f: PartialFunction[Int, Any] = { case _ => 1/0 }

It is the responsibility of the caller to call isDefinedAt before calling apply, because if isDefinedAt is false, it is not guaranteed apply will throw an exception to indicate an error condition. If an exception is not thrown, evaluation may result in an arbitrary value.

The main distinction between PartialFunction and scala.Function1 is that the user of a PartialFunction may choose to do something different with input that is declared to be outside its domain. For example:

val sample = 1 to 10
val isEven: PartialFunction[Int, String] = {
  case x if x % 2 == 0 => x+" is even"
}

// the method collect can use isDefinedAt to select which members to collect
val evenNumbers = sample collect isEven

val isOdd: PartialFunction[Int, String] = {
  case x if x % 2 == 1 => x+" is odd"
}

// the method orElse allows chaining another partial function to handle
// input outside the declared domain
val numbers = sample map (isEven orElse isOdd)

abstract final class Short extends AnyVal

Short, a 16-bit signed integer (equivalent to Java's short primitive type) is a subtype of scala.AnyVal. Instances of Short are not represented by an object in the underlying runtime system.

There is an implicit conversion from scala.Short => scala.runtime.RichShort which provides useful non-primitive operations.

final trait Singleton extends Any

Singleton is used by the compiler as a supertype for singleton types. This includes literal types, as they are also singleton types.

scala> object A { val x = 42 }
defined object A

scala> implicitly[A.type <:< Singleton]
res12: A.type <:< Singleton = generalized constraint

scala> implicitly[A.x.type <:< Singleton]
res13: A.x.type <:< Singleton = generalized constraint

scala> implicitly[42 <:< Singleton]
res14: 42 <:< Singleton = generalized constraint

scala> implicitly[Int <:< Singleton]
^
error: Cannot prove that Int <:< Singleton.

Singleton has a special meaning when it appears as an upper bound on a formal type parameter. Normally, type inference in Scala widens singleton types to the underlying non-singleton type. When a type parameter has an explicit upper bound of Singleton, the compiler infers a singleton type.

scala> def check42[T](x: T)(implicit ev: T =:= 42): T = x
check42: [T](x: T)(implicit ev: T =:= 42)T

scala> val x1 = check42(42)

error: Cannot prove that Int =:= 42.

scala> def singleCheck42[T <: Singleton](x: T)(implicit ev: T =:= 42): T = x

trait Specializable extends AnyRef

A common supertype for companions of specializable types. Should not be extended in user code.

type StringBuilder = scala.collection.mutable.StringBuilder

case class StringContext(parts: String*) extends Product with Serializable

This class provides the basic mechanism to do String Interpolation. String Interpolation allows users to embed variable references directly in *processed* string literals. Here's an example:

val name = "James"
println(s"Hello, $name")  // Hello, James

Any processed string literal is rewritten as an instantiation and method call against this class. For example:

s"Hello, $name"

is rewritten to be:

StringContext("Hello, ", "").s(name)

By default, this class provides the raw, s and f methods as available interpolators.

To provide your own string interpolator, create an implicit class which adds a method to StringContext. Here's an example:

implicit class JsonHelper(private val sc: StringContext) extends AnyVal {
  def json(args: Any*): JSONObject = ...
}
val x: JSONObject = json"{ a: $a }"

Here the JsonHelper extension class implicitly adds the json method to StringContext which can be used for json string literals.

parts

The parts that make up the interpolated string, without the expressions that get inserted by interpolation.

final class Symbol extends Serializable

This class provides a simple way to get unique objects for equal strings. Since symbols are interned, they can be compared using reference equality. Instances of Symbol can be created easily with Scala's built-in quote mechanism.

For instance, the Scala term 'mysym will invoke the constructor of the Symbol class in the following way: Symbol("mysym").

abstract final class Unit extends AnyVal

Unit is a subtype of scala.AnyVal. There is only one value of type Unit, (), and it is not represented by any object in the underlying runtime system. A method with return type Unit is analogous to a Java method which is declared void.

type UnsupportedOperationException = java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

final class ValueOf[T] extends AnyVal

ValueOf[T] provides the unique value of the type T where T is a type which has a single inhabitant. Eligible types are singleton types of the form stablePath.type, Unit and singleton types corresponding to value literals.

Instances of ValueOf[T] are provided implicitly for all eligible types. Typically an instance would be required where a runtime value corresponding to a type level computation is needed.

For example, we might define a type Residue[M <: Int] corresponding to the group of integers modulo M. We could then mandate that residues can be summed only when they are parameterized by the same modulus,

case class Residue[M <: Int](n: Int) extends AnyVal {
  def +(rhs: Residue[M])(implicit m: ValueOf[M]): Residue[M] =
    Residue((this.n + rhs.n) % valueOf[M])
}

val fiveModTen = Residue[10](5)
val nineModTen = Residue[10](9)

fiveModTen + nineModTen    // OK == Residue[10](4)

val fourModEleven = Residue[11](4)

fiveModTen + fourModEleven // compiler error: type mismatch;
                           //   found   : Residue[11]
                           //   required: Residue[10]

Notice that here the modulus is encoded in the type of the values and so does not incur any additional per-value storage cost. When a runtime value of the modulus is required in the implementation of + it is provided at the call site via the implicit argument m of type ValueOf[M].

class deprecated extends Annotation with StaticAnnotation

An annotation that designates that a definition is deprecated. A deprecation warning is issued upon usage of the annotated definition.

Library authors should state the library's deprecation policy in their documentation to give developers guidance on how long a deprecated definition will be preserved.

Library authors should prepend the name of their library to the version number to help developers distinguish deprecations coming from different libraries:

@deprecated("this method will be removed", "FooLib 12.0")
def oldMethod(x: Int) = ...

The compiler will emit deprecation warnings grouped by library and version:

oldMethod(1)
oldMethod(2)
aDeprecatedMethodFromLibraryBar(3, 4)

// warning: there was one deprecation warning (since BarLib 3.2)
// warning: there were two deprecation warnings (since FooLib 12.0)
// warning: there were three deprecation warnings in total; re-run with -deprecation for details

@deprecated in the Scala language and its standard library

A deprecated element of the Scala language or a definition in the Scala standard library will be preserved at least for the current major version.

This means that an element deprecated in some 2.13.x release will be preserved in all 2.13.x releases, but may be removed in 2.14. (A deprecated element might be kept longer to ease migration, but developers should not rely on this.)

final class deprecatedInheritance extends Annotation with StaticAnnotation

An annotation that designates that inheriting from a class is deprecated.

This is usually done to warn about a non-final class being made final in a future version. Sub-classing such a class then generates a warning.

No warnings are generated if the subclass is in the same compilation unit.

Library authors should state the library's deprecation policy in their documentation to give developers guidance on when a type annotated with @deprecatedInheritance will be finalized.

Library authors should prepend the name of their library to the version number to help developers distinguish deprecations coming from different libraries:

class inline extends Annotation with StaticAnnotation

An annotation for methods that the optimizer should inline.

Note that by default, the Scala optimizer is disabled and no callsites are inlined. See -opt:help for information on how to enable the optimizer and inliner.

When inlining is enabled, the inliner will always try to inline methods or callsites annotated @inline (under the condition that inlining from the defining class is allowed, see -opt-inline-from:help). If inlining is not possible, for example because the method is not final, an optimizer warning will be issued. See -opt-warnings:help for details.

Examples:

@inline   final def f1(x: Int) = x
@noinline final def f2(x: Int) = x
          final def f3(x: Int) = x

 def t1 = f1(1)              // inlined if possible
 def t2 = f2(1)              // not inlined
 def t3 = f3(1)              // may be inlined (the inliner heuristics can select the callsite)
 def t4 = f1(1): @noinline   // not inlined (override at callsite)
 def t5 = f2(1): @inline     // inlined if possible (override at callsite)
 def t6 = f3(1): @inline     // inlined if possible
 def t7 = f3(1): @noinline   // not inlined
}

Note: parentheses are required when annotating a callsite within a larger expression.

def t1 = f1(1) + f1(1): @noinline   // equivalent to (f1(1) + f1(1)): @noinline
def t2 = f1(1) + (f1(1): @noinline) // the second call to f1 is not inlined

class native extends Annotation with StaticAnnotation

Marker for native methods.

@native def f(x: Int, y: List[Long]): String = ...

A @native method is compiled to the platform's native method, while discarding the method's body (if any). The body will be type checked if present.

A method marked @native must be a member of a class, not a trait (since 2.12).

final class noinline extends Annotation with StaticAnnotation

An annotation for methods that the optimizer should not inline.

Note that by default, the Scala optimizer is disabled and no callsites are inlined. See -opt:help for information how to enable the optimizer and inliner.

When inlining is enabled, the inliner will never inline methods or callsites annotated @noinline.

Examples:

@inline   final def f1(x: Int) = x
@noinline final def f2(x: Int) = x
          final def f3(x: Int) = x

 def t1 = f1(1)              // inlined if possible
 def t2 = f2(1)              // not inlined
 def t3 = f3(1)              // may be inlined (the inliner heuristics can select the callsite)
 def t4 = f1(1): @noinline   // not inlined (override at callsite)
 def t5 = f2(1): @inline     // inlined if possible (override at callsite)
 def t6 = f3(1): @inline     // inlined if possible
 def t7 = f3(1): @noinline   // not inlined
}

Note: parentheses are required when annotating a callsite within a larger expression.

def t1 = f1(1) + f1(1): @noinline   // equivalent to (f1(1) + f1(1)): @noinline
def t2 = f1(1) + (f1(1): @noinline) // the second call to f1 is not inlined

final class unchecked extends Annotation

An annotation to designate that the annotated entity should not be considered for additional compiler checks. Specific applications include annotating the subject of a match expression to suppress exhaustiveness warnings, and annotating a type argument in a match case to suppress unchecked warnings.

Such suppression should be used with caution, without which one may encounter scala.MatchError or java.lang.ClassCastException at runtime. In most cases one can and should address the warning instead of suppressing it.

object Test extends App {
  // This would normally warn "match is not exhaustive"
  // because `None` is not covered.
  def f(x: Option[String]) = (x: @unchecked) match { case Some(y) => y }

object PartialFunction

A few handy operations which leverage the extra bit of information available in partial functions. Examples:

import PartialFunction._

def strangeConditional(other: Any): Boolean = cond(other) {
  case x: String if x == "abc" || x == "def"  => true
  case x: Int => true
}
def onlyInt(v: Any): Option[Int] = condOpt(v) { case x: Int => x }

object Predef extends LowPriorityImplicits

The Predef object provides definitions that are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification.

Commonly Used Types

Predef provides type aliases for types which are commonly used, such as the immutable collection types scala.collection.immutable.Map, scala.collection.immutable.Set, and the scala.collection.immutable.List constructors (scala.collection.immutable.:: and scala.collection.immutable.Nil).

Console Output

For basic console output, Predef provides convenience methods print and println, which are aliases of the methods in the object scala.Console.

Assertions

A set of assert functions are provided for use as a way to document and dynamically check invariants in code. Invocations of assert can be elided at compile time by providing the command line option -Xdisable-assertions, which raises -Xelide-below above elidable.ASSERTION, to the scalac command.

Variants of assert intended for use with static analysis tools are also provided: assume, require and ensuring. require and ensuring are intended for use as a means of design-by-contract style specification of pre- and post-conditions on functions, with the intention that these specifications could be consumed by a static analysis tool. For instance,

def addNaturals(nats: List[Int]): Int = {
  require(nats forall (_ >= 0), "List contains negative numbers")
  nats.foldLeft(0)(_ + _)
} ensuring(_ >= 0)

The declaration of addNaturals states that the list of integers passed should only contain natural numbers (i.e. non-negative), and that the result returned will also be natural. require is distinct from assert in that if the condition fails, then the caller of the function is to blame rather than a logical error having been made within addNaturals itself. ensuring is a form of assert that declares the guarantee the function is providing with regards to its return value.

Implicit Conversions

A number of commonly applied implicit conversions are also defined here, and in the parent type scala.LowPriorityImplicits. Implicit conversions are provided for the "widening" of numeric values, for instance, converting a Short value to a Long value as required, and to add additional higher-order functions to Array values. These are described in more detail in the documentation of scala.Array.

object language

The scala.language object controls the language features available to the programmer, as proposed in the SIP-18 document.

Each of these features has to be explicitly imported into the current scope to become available:

import language.postfixOps // or language._
List(1, 2, 3) reverse

The language features are:
