    A version of this collection with all of the operations implemented sequentially (i.e., in a single-threaded manner).

    This method returns a reference to this collection. In parallel collections, it is redefined to return a sequential implementation of this collection. In both cases, it has O(1) complexity.

    returns

  5. def ++[B](that: GenTraversableOnce[B]): String[B]

    [use case]

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

    Example:

    scala> val a = List(1)
    a: List[Int] = List(1)
    
    scala> val b = List(2)
    b: List[Int] = List(2)
    
    scala> val c = a ++ b
    c: List[Int] = List(1, 2)
    
    scala> val d = List('a')
    d: List[Char] = List(a)
    
    scala> val e = c ++ d
    e: List[AnyVal] = List(1, 2, a)
    B

    the element type of the returned collection.

    that

    the traversable to append.

    returns

    a new string which contains all elements of this string followed by all elements of that.

  6. def ++:[B >: Char, That](that: collection.Traversable[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That]): That

    As with ++, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.

    As with ++, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.

    It differs from ++ in that the right operand determines the type of the resulting collection rather than the left one. Mnemonic: the COLon is on the side of the new COLlection type.

    Example:

    scala> val x = List(1)
    x: List[Int] = List(1)
    
    scala> val y = LinkedList(2)
    y: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(2)
    
    scala> val z = x ++: y
    z: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)

    This overload exists because: for the implementation of ++: we should reuse that of ++ because many collections override it with more efficient versions.

    Since TraversableOnce has no ++ method, we have to implement that directly, but Traversable and down can use the overload.

    B

    the element type of the returned collection.

    That

    the class of the returned collection. Where possible, That is the same class as the current collection class Repr, but this depends on the element type B being admissible for that class, which means that an implicit instance of type CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That] is found.

    that

    the traversable to append.

    bf

    an implicit value of class CanBuildFrom which determines the result class That from the current representation type Repr and the new element type B.

    returns

    a new collection of type That which contains all elements of this traversable collection followed by all elements of that.

  8. def +:(elem: A): String[A]

    [use case] A copy of the string with an element prepended.

    [use case]

    A copy of the string with an element prepended.

    Note that :-ending operators are right associative (see example). A mnemonic for +: vs. :+ is: the COLon goes on the COLlection side.

    Also, the original string is not modified, so you will want to capture the result.

    Example:

    scala> val x = List(1)
    x: List[Int] = List(1)
    
    scala> val y = 2 +: x
    y: List[Int] = List(2, 1)

  21. def aggregate[B](z: ⇒ B)(seqop: (B, Char) ⇒ B, combop: (B, B) ⇒ B): B

    Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

    Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

    This is a more general form of fold and reduce. It is similar to foldLeft in that it doesn't require the result to be a supertype of the element type. In addition, it allows parallel collections to be processed in chunks, and then combines the intermediate results.

    aggregate splits the traversable or iterator into partitions and processes each partition by sequentially applying seqop, starting with z (like foldLeft). Those intermediate results are then combined by using combop (like fold). The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions (even 1), so combop may be invoked an arbitrary number of times (even 0).

    As an example, consider summing up the integer values of a list of chars. The initial value for the sum is 0. First, seqop transforms each input character to an Int and adds it to the sum (of the partition). Then, combop just needs to sum up the intermediate results of the partitions:

    List('a', 'b', 'c').aggregate(0)({ (sum, ch) => sum + ch.toInt }, { (p1, p2) => p1 + p2 })
    B

    the type of accumulated results

    z

    the initial value for the accumulated result of the partition - this will typically be the neutral element for the seqop operator (e.g. Nil for list concatenation or 0 for summation) and may be evaluated more than once

    an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

  23. final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    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.

    returns

    the receiver object.

  28. def combinations(n: Int): Iterator[Repr]

    Iterates over combinations.

    Iterates over combinations. A _combination_ of length n is a subsequence of the original sequence, with the elements taken in order. Thus, "xy" and "yy" are both length-2 combinations of "xyy", but "yx" is not. If there is more than one way to generate the same subsequence, only one will be returned.

    For example, "xyyy" has three different ways to generate "xy" depending on whether the first, second, or third "y" is selected. However, since all are identical, only one will be chosen. Which of the three will be taken is an implementation detail that is not defined.

    returns

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

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

    Tests whether this traversable 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.

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

    For most collection types, this method creates a new parallel collection by copying all the elements. For these collection, par takes linear time. Mutable collections in this category do not produce a mutable parallel collection that has the same underlying dataset, so changes in one collection will not be reflected in the other one.

    Specific collections (e.g. ParArray or mutable.ParHashMap) override this default behaviour by creating a parallel collection which shares the same underlying dataset. For these collections, par takes constant or sublinear time.
