Class scala.Some

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.

Alias for concat

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

Appends all elements of this iterable collection to a string builder. The written text consists of the string representations (w.r.t. the method toString) of all elements of this iterable 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 iterable 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 iterable 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 iterable 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 iterable 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)

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.

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

Returns a scala.Some containing the result of applying pf to this scala.Option's contained value, if this option is nonempty and pf is defined for that value. Returns None otherwise.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Returns a new iterable collection containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand. The element type of the iterable collection is the most specific superclass encompassing the element types of the two operands.

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
}

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

Fills the given array xs starting at index start with at most len elements of this iterable collection.

Copying will stop once either all the elements of this iterable collection have been copied, or the end of the array is reached, or len elements have been copied.

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

Fills the given array xs starting at index start with values of this iterable collection.

Copying will stop once either all the elements of this iterable collection have been copied, or the end of the array is reached.

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

Selects all elements except last n ones.

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

Drops longest prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.

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

The empty iterable of the same type as this iterable

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).

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
}

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 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
}

This is equivalent to:

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

This is also equivalent to:

option map f getOrElse ifEmpty

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.

This is equivalent to:

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

  case None    => ()
}

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

This is equivalent to:

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

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 value 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.

Partitions elements in fixed size iterable collections.

Selects the first element of this iterable collection.

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

The initial part of the collection without its last element.

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

Iterates over the inits of this iterable collection. The first value will be this iterable collection and the final one will be an empty iterable collection, with the intervening values the results of successive applications of init.

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

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
}

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.

Tests whether this iterable collection can be repeatedly traversed. Always true for Iterables and false for Iterators unless overridden.

The companion object of this iterable collection, providing various factory methods.

Returns a singleton iterator returning the scala.Option's value if it is nonempty, or an empty iterator if the option is empty.

Selects the last element.

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

Optionally selects the last element.

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

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
}

This is equivalent to:

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

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.

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
}

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))

Compares the size of this iterable collection to the size of another Iterable.

Compares the size of this iterable collection to a test value.

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:

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.

Splits this iterable 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.

Returns a 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 StepperShape parameter defines the resulting Stepper type according to the element type of this collection.

For collections of Int, Short, Byte or Char, an IntStepper is returnedFor collections of Double or Float, a DoubleStepper is returnedFor collections of Long a LongStepper is returnedFor any other element type, an AnyStepper is returned

Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to S with EfficientSplit, for example 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.

Sums up the elements of this collection.

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

Takes longest prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.

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

Applies a side-effecting function to each element in this collection. Strict collections will apply f to their elements immediately, while lazy collections like Views and LazyLists will only apply f on each element if and when that element is evaluated, and each time that element is evaluated.

  case None    => Left(left)
}

Converts this iterable collection to a string.

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

val ys = Vector(
           List(1, 2, 3),
           List(4, 5, 6)).transpose
// ys == Vector(
//         Vector(1, 4),
//         Vector(2, 5),
//         Vector(3, 6))

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

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)
}

  case _                  => None
}

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

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Apply f to each element for its side effects Note: [U] parameter needed to help scalac's type inference.

Returns a 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 StepperShape parameter defines the resulting Stepper type according to the element type of this collection.

For collections of Int, Short, Byte or Char, an IntStepper is returnedFor collections of Double or Float, a DoubleStepper is returnedFor collections of Long a LongStepper is returnedFor any other element type, an AnyStepper is returned

Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to S with EfficientSplit, for example 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.

Converts this iterable collection of pairs into two collections of the first and second half of each pair.

val xs = `Iterable`(
           (1, "one"),
           (2, "two"),
           (3, "three")).unzip
// xs == (`Iterable`(1, 2, 3),
//        `Iterable`(one, two, three))

Converts this iterable collection of triples into three collections of the first, second, and third element of each triple.

val xs = `Iterable`(
           (1, "one", '1'),
           (2, "two", '2'),
           (3, "three", '3')).unzip3
// xs == (`Iterable`(1, 2, 3),
//        `Iterable`(one, two, three),
//        `Iterable`(1, 2, 3))

Creates a non-strict filter of this iterable collection.

Note: the difference between c filter p and c withFilter p is that the former creates a new collection, whereas the latter only restricts the domain of subsequent map, flatMap, foreach, and withFilter operations.

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

Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is longer than the other, its remaining elements are ignored.
