Option

Returns the option's value.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => x
 case None    => throw new Exception
}

Tests whether the option contains a given value as an element.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => x == elem
 case None    => false
}

Returns true if this option is nonempty and the predicate p returns true when applied to this scala.Option's value. Otherwise, returns false.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => p(x)
 case None    => false
}

Returns this scala.Option if it is nonempty and applying the predicate p to this scala.Option's value returns true. Otherwise, return None.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) if p(x) => Some(x)
 case _               => None
}

Returns this scala.Option if it is nonempty and applying the predicate p to this scala.Option's value returns false. Otherwise, return None.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) if !p(x) => Some(x)
 case _                => None
}

Returns the result of applying f to this scala.Option's value if this scala.Option is nonempty. Returns None if this scala.Option is empty. Slightly different from map in that f is expected to return an scala.Option (which could be None).

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => f(x)
 case None    => None
}

Returns the nested scala.Option value if it is nonempty. Otherwise, return None.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(Some(b)) => Some(b)
 case _             => None
}

Returns the result of applying f to this scala.Option's value if the scala.Option is nonempty. Otherwise, evaluates expression ifEmpty.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => f(x)
 case None    => ifEmpty
}

This is also equivalent to:

option map f getOrElse ifEmpty

Returns true if this option is empty or the predicate p returns true when applied to this scala.Option's value.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => p(x)
 case None    => true
}

Apply the given procedure f to the option's value, if it is nonempty. Otherwise, do nothing.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => f(x)
 case None    => ()
}

Returns the option's value if the option is nonempty, otherwise return the result of evaluating default.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => x
 case None    => default
}

Returns true if the option is an instance of scala.Some, false otherwise.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(_) => true
 case None    => false
}

Returns true if the option is None, false otherwise.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(_) => false
 case None    => true
}

Analogous to zip except that the elements in each collection are not consumed until a strict operation is invoked on the returned LazyZip2 decorator.

Calls to lazyZip can be chained to support higher arities (up to 4) without incurring the expense of constructing and deconstructing intermediary tuples.

val xs = List(1, 2, 3)
val res = (xs lazyZip xs lazyZip xs lazyZip xs).map((a, b, c, d) => a + b + c + d)
// res == List(4, 8, 12)

Returns a scala.Some containing the result of applying f to this scala.Option's value if this scala.Option is nonempty. Otherwise return None.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => Some(f(x))
 case None    => None
}

Returns false if the option is None, true otherwise.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(_) => true
 case None    => false
}

Returns this scala.Option if it is nonempty, otherwise return the result of evaluating alternative.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => Some(x)
 case None    => alternative
}

Returns the option's value if it is nonempty, or null if it is empty.

Although the use of null is discouraged, code written to use scala.Option must often interface with code that expects and returns nulls.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => x
 case None    => null
}

Returns a scala.util.Right containing the given argument right if this is empty, or a scala.util.Left containing this scala.Option's value if this scala.Option is nonempty.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => Left(x)
 case None    => Right(right)
}

Returns a singleton list containing the scala.Option's value if it is nonempty, or the empty list if the scala.Option is empty.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => List(x)
 case None    => Nil
}

Returns a scala.util.Left containing the given argument left if this scala.Option is empty, or a scala.util.Right containing this scala.Option's value if this is nonempty.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
 case Some(x) => Right(x)
 case None    => Left(left)
}

Converts an Option of a pair into an Option of the first element and an Option of the second element.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
  case Some((x, y)) => (Some(x), Some(y))
  case _            => (None,    None)
}

Converts an Option of a triple into three Options, one containing the element from each position of the triple.

This is equivalent to:

option match {
  case Some((x, y, z)) => (Some(x), Some(y), Some(z))
  case _               => (None,    None,    None)
}

Returns a scala.Some formed from this option and another option by combining the corresponding elements in a pair. If either of the two options is empty, None is returned.

This is equivalent to:

(option1, option2) match {
  case (Some(x), Some(y)) => Some((x, y))
  case _                  => None
}

Appends all elements of this collection to a string builder. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this collection without any separator string.

Example:

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

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

scala> val h = a.addString(b)
h: StringBuilder = 1234

Appends all elements of this collection to a string builder using a separator string. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this collection, separated by the string sep.

Example:

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

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

scala> a.addString(b, ", ")
res0: StringBuilder = 1, 2, 3, 4

Appends all elements of this collection to a string builder using start, end, and separator strings. The written text begins with the string start and ends with the string end. Inside, the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this collection are separated by the string sep.

Example:

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

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

scala> a.addString(b , "List(" , ", " , ")")
res5: StringBuilder = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

Finds the first element of the collection for which the given partial function is defined, and applies the partial function to it.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Copy elements to an array, returning the number of elements written.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Builds a new iterable collection by applying a function to all elements of this iterable 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 iterable 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)

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

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the type of iterable 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)

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.

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

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.

Partitions this iterable collection into a map of iterable collections according to some discriminator function.

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

Partitions this iterable collection into a map of iterable collections according to a discriminator function key. Each element in a group is transformed into a value of type B using the value function.

It is equivalent to groupBy(key).mapValues(_.map(f)), but more efficient.

case class User(name: String, age: Int)

def namesByAge(users: Seq[User]): Map[Int, Seq[String]] =
  users.groupMap(_.age)(_.name)

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

Partitions this iterable collection into a map according to a discriminator function key. All the values that have the same discriminator are then transformed by the f function and then reduced into a single value with the reduce function.

It is equivalent to groupBy(key).mapValues(_.map(f).reduce(reduce)), but more efficient.

def occurrences[A](as: Seq[A]): Map[A, Int] =
  as.groupMapReduce(identity)(_ => 1)(_ + _)

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

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

Tests whether the collection is empty.

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

A pair of, first, all elements that satisfy predicate p and, second, all elements that do not. Interesting because it splits a collection in two.

The default implementation provided here needs to traverse the collection twice. Strict collections have an overridden version of partition in StrictOptimizedIterableOps, which requires only a single traversal.

Applies a function f to each element of the iterable collection and returns a pair of iterable collections: 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 = Iterable(1, "one", 2, "two", 3, "three") partitionMap {
 case i: Int => Left(i)
 case s: String => Right(s)
}
// xs == (Iterable(1, 2, 3),
//        Iterable(one, two, three))

Produces a collection containing cumulative results of applying the operator going right to left. The head of the collection is the last cumulative result.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

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

The size of this collection.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Returns a value class containing operations for comparing the size of this iterable collection to a test value.

These operations are implemented in terms of sizeCompare(Int), and allow the following more readable usages:

this.sizeIs < size     // this.sizeCompare(size) < 0
this.sizeIs <= size    // this.sizeCompare(size) <= 0
this.sizeIs == size    // this.sizeCompare(size) == 0
this.sizeIs != size    // this.sizeCompare(size) != 0
this.sizeIs >= size    // this.sizeCompare(size) >= 0
this.sizeIs > size     // this.sizeCompare(size) > 0

Selects an interval of elements. The returned iterable collection is made up of all elements x which satisfy the invariant:

from <= indexOf(x) < until

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

Groups elements in fixed size blocks by passing a "sliding window" over them (as opposed to partitioning them, as is done in grouped.)

The returned iterator will be empty when called on an empty collection. The last element the iterator produces may be smaller than the window size when the original collection isn't exhausted by the window before it and its last element isn't skipped by the step before it.

Groups elements in fixed size blocks by passing a "sliding window" over them (as opposed to partitioning them, as is done in grouped.)

An empty collection returns an empty iterator, and a non-empty collection containing fewer elements than the window size returns an iterator that will produce the original collection as its only element.

Splits this iterable 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.

Returns a scala.collection.Stepper for the elements of this collection.

The Stepper enables creating a Java stream to operate on the collection, see scala.jdk.StreamConverters. For collections holding primitive values, the Stepper can be used as an iterator which doesn't box the elements.

The implicit scala.collection.StepperShape parameter defines the resulting Stepper type according to the element type of this collection.

• For collections of Int, Short, Byte or Char, an scala.collection.IntStepper is returned

• For collections of Double or Float, a scala.collection.DoubleStepper is returned

• For collections of Long a scala.collection.LongStepper is returned

• For any other element type, an scala.collection.AnyStepper is returned

Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to S with EfficientSplit, for example scala.collection.IndexedSeqOps.stepper. For Steppers marked with scala.collection.Stepper.EfficientSplit, the converters in scala.jdk.StreamConverters allow creating parallel streams, whereas bare Steppers can be converted only to sequential streams.
