Class scala.StringContext

Test two objects for inequality.

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.

The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

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.

Checks that the length of the given argument args is one less than the number of parts supplied to the enclosing StringContext.

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false. null.eq(null) returns true.

When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

The formatted string interpolator.

It inserts its arguments between corresponding parts of the string context. It also treats standard escape sequences as defined in the Scala specification. Finally, if an interpolated expression is followed by a parts string that starts with a formatting specifier, the expression is formatted according to that specifier. All specifiers allowed in Java format strings are handled, and in the same way they are treated in Java.

For example:

val height = 1.9d
val name = "James"
println(f"$name%s is $height%2.2f meters tall")  // James is 1.90 meters tall

Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

Returns string formatted according to given format string. Format strings are as for String.format (@see java.lang.String.format).

Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

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.

Equivalent to !(this eq that).

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

The raw string interpolator.

It inserts its arguments between corresponding parts of the string context. As opposed to the simple string interpolator s, this one does not treat standard escape sequences as defined in the Scala specification.

For example, the raw processed string raw"a\nb" is equal to the scala string "a\\nb".

Note: Even when using the raw interpolator, Scala will preprocess unicode escapes. For example:

scala> raw"\u0023"
res0: String = #

The simple string interpolator.

It inserts its arguments between corresponding parts of the string context. It also treats standard escape sequences as defined in the Scala specification. Here's an example of usage:

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

In this example, the expression $name is replaced with the toString of the variable name. The s interpolator can take the toString of any arbitrary expression within a ${} block, for example:

println(s"1 + 1 = ${1 + 1}")

will print the string 1 + 1 = 2.
