Often we use Streams to represent an infinite set or series. If that's the case for your particular Stream then this function will never return and will probably crash the VM with an OutOfMemory exception. This function will not hang on a finite cycle, however.

def applyOrElse[A1 <: Int, B1 >: A](x: A1, default: A1 => B1): B1

Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain.

Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain. Applies fallback function where this partial function is not defined.

Note that expression pf.applyOrElse(x, default) is equivalent to

if(pf isDefinedAt x) pf(x) else default(x)

except that applyOrElse method can be implemented more efficiently. For all partial function literals the compiler generates an applyOrElse implementation which avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards. This makes applyOrElse the basis for the efficient implementation for many operations and scenarios, such as:

- combining partial functions into orElse/andThen chains does not lead to excessive apply/isDefinedAt evaluation - lift and unlift do not evaluate source functions twice on each invocation - runWith allows efficient imperative-style combining of partial functions with conditionally applied actions

For non-literal partial function classes with nontrivial isDefinedAt method it is recommended to override applyOrElse with custom implementation that avoids double isDefinedAt evaluation. This may result in better performance and more predictable behavior w.r.t. side effects.

Value parameters

default

the fallback function

x

the function argument

Attributes

Returns

the result of this function or fallback function application.

Stream.scala

Iterates over combinations of elements.

Iterates over combinations of elements.

A combination of length n is a sequence of n elements selected in order of their first index in this sequence.

For example, "xyx" has two combinations of length 2. The x is selected first: "xx", "xy". The sequence "yx" is not returned as a combination because it is subsumed by "xy".

If there is more than one way to generate the same combination, only one will be returned.

For example, the result "xy" arbitrarily selected one of the x elements.

As a further illustration, "xyxx" has three different ways to generate "xy" because there are three elements x to choose from. Moreover, there are three unordered pairs "xx" but only one is returned.

It is not specified which of these equal combinations is returned. It is an implementation detail that should not be relied on. For example, the combination "xx" does not necessarily contain the first x in this sequence. This behavior is observable if the elements compare equal but are not identical.

As a consequence, "xyx".combinations(3).next() is "xxy": the combination does not reflect the order of the original sequence, but the order in which elements were selected, by "first index"; the order of each x element is also arbitrary.

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

Attributes

Returns

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

Example

Seq('a', 'b', 'b', 'b', 'c').combinations(2).foreach(println)
// List(a, b)
// List(a, c)
// List(b, b)
// List(b, c)
Seq('b', 'a', 'b').combinations(2).foreach(println)
// List(b, b)
// List(b, a)

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.

Type parameters

A1

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

Value parameters

op

a binary operator that must be associative.

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).

Attributes

Returns

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

Type parameters

Value parameters

op

Attributes

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(x1, op(x2, ... op(xn, z)...)) where x1, ..., xn are the elements of this collection. Returns z if this collection is empty.

Note

Overridden here as final to trigger tail-call optimization, which replaces 'this' with 'tail' at each iteration. This is absolutely necessary for allowing the GC to collect the underlying Stream as elements are consumed.

protected def fromSpecific(coll: IterableOnce[A]): Stream[A]

Defines how to turn a given Iterable[A] into a collection of type C.

Defines how to turn a given Iterable[A] into a collection of type C.

This process can be done in a strict way or a non-strict way (ie. without evaluating the elements of the resulting collections). In other words, this methods defines the evaluation model of the collection.

Attributes

Note

When implementing a custom collection type and refining C to the new type, this method needs to be overridden (the compiler will issue an error otherwise). In the common case where C =:= CC[A], this can be done by mixing in the scala.collection.IterableFactoryDefaults trait, which implements the method using iterableFactory.

As witnessed by the @uncheckedVariance annotation, using this method might be unsound. However, as long as it is called with an Iterable[A] obtained from this collection (as it is the case in the implementations of operations where we use a View[A]), it is safe.

Calculates a hash code value for the object.

Calculates 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.

Transposes this iterable collection of iterable collections into a iterable collection of iterable collections.

Transposes this iterable collection of iterable collections into a iterable collection of iterable collections.

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

val xs = List(

           Set(4, 5, 6)).transpose
// xs == List(
//         List(1, 4),
//         List(2, 5),
//         List(3, 6))

val ys = Vector(
           List(1, 2, 3),

// ys == Vector(
//         Vector(1, 4),
//         Vector(2, 5),

override def hasDefiniteSize: Boolean

Tests whether this immutable collection is known to have a finite size.

Tests whether this immutable collection is known to have a finite size. All strict collections are known to have finite size. For a non-strict collection such as Stream, the predicate returns true if all elements have been computed. It returns false if the stream is not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually return false even if they were created from a collection with a known finite size.

Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes. The typical failure mode is an infinite loop. These methods always attempt a traversal without checking first that hasDefiniteSize returns true. However, checking hasDefiniteSize can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.

Attributes

Returns

true if this collection is known to have finite size, false otherwise.

See also

method knownSize for a more useful alternative

Deprecated

This method is deprecated in 2.13 because it does not provide any actionable information. As noted above, even the collection library itself does not use it. When there is no guarantee that a collection is finite, it is generally best to attempt a computation anyway and document that it will not terminate for infinite collections rather than backing out because this would prevent performing the computation on collections that are in fact finite even though hasDefiniteSize returns false.
