trait Traversable[+A] extends TraversableLike[A, Traversable[A]] with GenTraversable[A] with TraversableOnce[A] with GenericTraversableTemplate[A, Traversable]
A trait for traversable collections. All operations are guaranteed to be performed in a single-threaded manner.
This is a base trait of all kinds of Scala collections. It
implements the behavior common to all collections, in terms of a method
foreach
with signature:
def foreach[U](f: Elem => U): Unit
Collection classes mixing in this trait provide a concrete
foreach
method which traverses all the
elements contained in the collection, applying a given function to each.
They also need to provide a method newBuilder
which creates a builder for collections of the same kind.
A traversable class might or might not have two properties: strictness and orderedness. Neither is represented as a type.
The instances of a strict collection class have all their elements
computed before they can be used as values. By contrast, instances of
a non-strict collection class may defer computation of some of their
elements until after the instance is available as a value.
A typical example of a non-strict collection class is a
scala.collection.immutable.Stream.
A more general class of examples are TraversableViews
.
If a collection is an instance of an ordered collection class, traversing
its elements with foreach
will always visit elements in the
same order, even for different runs of the program. If the class is not
ordered, foreach
can visit elements in different orders for
different runs (but it will keep the same order in the same run).'
A typical example of a collection class which is not ordered is a
HashMap
of objects. The traversal order for hash maps will
depend on the hash codes of its elements, and these hash codes might
differ from one run to the next. By contrast, a LinkedHashMap
is ordered because its foreach
method visits elements in the
order they were inserted into the HashMap
.

aggregate[B](z: ⇒ B)(seqop: (B, A) ⇒ 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
andreduce
. It is similar tofoldLeft
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 applyingseqop
, starting withz
(likefoldLeft
). Those intermediate results are then combined by usingcombop
(likefold
). The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions (even 1), socombop
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 or0
for summation) and may be evaluated more than once- seqop
an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

an associative operator used to combine results from different partitions

hasDefiniteSize: Boolean
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 returnstrue
if all elements have been computed. It returnsfalse
if the stream is not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually returnfalse
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

can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.- returns

Package structure
The scala package contains core types like
Int
,Float
,Array
orOption
which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.Notable packages include:
scala.collection
and its sub-packages contain Scala's collections frameworkscala.collection.immutable
- Immutable, sequential data-structures such asVector
,List
,Range
,HashMap
orHashSet
scala.collection.mutable
- Mutable, sequential data-structures such asArrayBuffer
,StringBuilder
,HashMap
orHashSet
scala.collection.concurrent
- Mutable, concurrent data-structures such asTrieMap
scala.collection.parallel.immutable
- Immutable, parallel data-structures such asParVector
,ParRange
,ParHashMap
orParHashSet
scala.collection.parallel.mutable
- Mutable, parallel data-structures such asParArray
,ParHashMap
,ParTrieMap
orParHashSet
scala.concurrent
- Primitives for concurrent programming such asFutures
andPromises
scala.io
- Input and output operationsscala.math
- Basic math functions and additional numeric types likeBigInt
andBigDecimal
scala.sys
- Interaction with other processes and the operating systemscala.util.matching
- Regular expressionsOther packages exist. See the complete list on the right.
Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:
scala.reflect
- Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)scala.xml
- XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)scala.swing
- A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)scala.util.parsing
- Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)Automatic imports
Identifiers in the scala package and the
scala.Predef
object are always in scope by default.Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example,
List
is an alias forscala.collection.immutable.List
.Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM,
String
is an alias forjava.lang.String
.
