  1. final def !=(arg0: Any): Boolean

    Test two objects for inequality.

    returns

  2. final def ##: Int

    Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.

    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.

    returns

    a hash value consistent with ==

  3. final def ==(arg0: Any): Boolean

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

  4. final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    Forces the compiler to treat the receiver object as having type T0, even though doing so may violate type safety.

    Forces the compiler to treat the receiver object as having type T0, even though doing so may violate type safety.

    This method is useful when you believe you have type information the compiler doesn't, and it also isn't possible to check the type at runtime. In such situations, skipping type safety is the only option.

    It is platform dependent whether asInstanceOf has any effect at runtime. It might do a runtime type test on the erasure of T0, insert a conversion (such as boxing/unboxing), fill in a default value, or do nothing at all.

    In particular, asInstanceOf is not a type test. It does **not** mean:

    this match {
     case x: T0 => x
     case _     => throw ClassCastException("...")

    Use pattern matching or isInstanceOf for type testing instead.

    Situations where asInstanceOf is useful:

    • when flow analysis fails to deduce T0 automatically
    • when down-casting a type parameter or an abstract type member (which cannot be checked at runtime due to type erasure) If there is any doubt and you are able to type test instead, you should do so.

    Be careful of using asInstanceOf when T0 is a primitive type. When T0 is primitive, asInstanceOf may insert a conversion instead of a type test. If your intent is to convert, use a toT method (x.toChar, x.toByte, etc.).

    returns

    the receiver object.

  7. final def contains[A1 >: Nothing](elem: A1): Boolean

      case None    => false

  8. final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

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

    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 the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.

  24. final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object has the same erasure as T0.

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object has the same erasure as T0.

    Depending on what T0 is, the test is done in one of the below ways:

    • T0 is a non-parameterized class type, e.g. BigDecimal: this method returns true if the value of the receiver object is a BigDecimal or a subtype of BigDecimal.
    • T0 is a parameterized class type, e.g. List[Int]: this method returns true if the value of the receiver object is some List[X] for any X. For example, List(1, 2, 3).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true.
    • T0 is some singleton type x.type or literal x: this method returns this.eq(x). For example, x.isInstanceOf[1] is equivalent to x.eq(1)
    • T0 is an intersection X with Y or X & Y: this method is equivalent to x.isInstanceOf[X] && x.isInstanceOf[Y]
    • T0 is a union X | Y: this method is equivalent to x.isInstanceOf[X] || x.isInstanceOf[Y]
    • T0 is a type parameter or an abstract type member: this method is equivalent to isInstanceOf[U] where U is T0's upper bound, Any if T0 is unbounded. For example, x.isInstanceOf[A] where A is an unbounded type parameter will return true for any value of x.

    This is exactly equivalent to the type pattern _: T0

    returns

    true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.

    due to the unexpectedness of List(1, 2, 3).isInstanceOf[List[String]] returning true and x.isInstanceOf[A] where A is a type parameter or abstract member returning true, these forms issue a warning.

    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.

    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.

  47. final def zip[A1 >: Nothing, B](that: Option[B]): Option[(A1, B)]

    Returns a scala.Some formed from this option and another option by combining the corresponding elements in a pair.

    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
    }
    that

    the options which is going to be zipped

    Example:
    1. // Returns Some(("foo", "bar")) because both options are nonempty.
      Some("foo") zip Some("bar")
      
      // Returns None because `that` option is empty.
      Some("foo") zip None
      
      // Returns None because `this` option is empty.
      None zip Some("bar")
