Optionally returns the value associated with a key.

The companion object of this map, providing various factory methods.

An scala.collection.Iterator over the elements of this map.

If an IterableOnce object is in fact an scala.collection.Iterator, this method always returns itself, in its current state, but if it is an scala.collection.Iterable, this method always returns a new scala.collection.Iterator.

Creates an iterator over all the key/value pairs contained in this map having a key greater than or equal to start according to the ordering of this map. x.iteratorFrom(y) is equivalent to but often more efficient than x.from(y).iterator.

Creates an iterator over all the keys(or elements) contained in this collection greater than or equal to start according to the ordering of this collection. x.keysIteratorFrom(y) is equivalent to but often more efficient than x.from(y).keysIterator.

The companion object of this map, providing various factory methods.

Creates a ranged projection of this collection. Any mutations in the ranged projection will update this collection and vice versa.

Note: keys are not guaranteed to be consistent between this collection and the projection. This is the case for buffers where indexing is relative to the projection.

The companion object of this sorted map, providing various factory methods.

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

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 map 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 map 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)

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

Composes this partial function with another partial function that gets applied to results of this partial function.

Note that calling isDefinedAt on the resulting partial function may apply the first partial function and execute its side effect. For efficiency, it is recommended to call applyOrElse instead of isDefinedAt or apply.

Composes this partial function with a transformation function that gets applied to results of this partial function.

If the runtime type of the function is a PartialFunction then the other andThen method is used (note its cautions).

Retrieves the value which is associated with the given key. This method invokes the default method of the map if there is no mapping from the given key to a value. Unless overridden, the default method throws a NoSuchElementException.

Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain. Applies fallback function where this partial function is not defined.

Note that expression pf.applyOrElse(x, default) is equivalent to

if(pf isDefinedAt x) pf(x) else default(x)

except that applyOrElse method can be implemented more efficiently. For all partial function literals the compiler generates an applyOrElse implementation which avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards. This makes applyOrElse the basis for the efficient implementation for many operations and scenarios, such as:

• combining partial functions into orElse/andThen chains does not lead to excessive apply/isDefinedAt evaluation
• lift and unlift do not evaluate source functions twice on each invocation
• runWith allows efficient imperative-style combining of partial functions with conditionally applied actions

For non-literal partial function classes with nontrivial isDefinedAt method it is recommended to override applyOrElse with custom implementation that avoids double isDefinedAt evaluation. This may result in better performance and more predictable behavior w.r.t. side effects.

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.).

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

Builds a new sorted map by applying a partial function to all elements of this map on which the function is defined.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Composes another partial function k with this partial function so that this partial function gets applied to results of k.

Note that calling isDefinedAt on the resulting partial function may apply the first partial function and execute its side effect. For efficiency, it is recommended to call applyOrElse instead of isDefinedAt or apply.

Composes two instances of Function1 in a new Function1, with this function applied last.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Counts the number of elements in the map which satisfy a predicate.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Defines the default value computation for the map, returned when a key is not found.

The method implemented here throws an exception, but it may be overridden by subclasses.

Selects all elements except the first n ones.

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.

Selects all elements except the longest prefix that satisfies a predicate.

The matching prefix starts with the first element of this map, and the element following the prefix is the first element that does not satisfy the predicate. The matching prefix may be empty, so that this method returns the entire map.

Example:

scala> List(1, 2, 3, 100, 4).dropWhile(n => n < 10)
val res0: List[Int] = List(100, 4)

scala> List(1, 2, 3, 100, 4).dropWhile(n => n == 0)
val res1: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 100, 4)

Use span to obtain both the prefix and suffix. Use filterNot to drop all elements that satisfy the predicate.

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

Returns an extractor object with a unapplySeq method, which extracts each element of a sequence data.

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).

The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to eq.

See also equals in scala.Any.

Tests whether a predicate holds for at least one element of this map.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: may not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

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

Returns the first key of the collection.

Builds a new sorted map by applying a function to all elements of this map and using the elements of the resulting collections.

Builds a new map by applying a function to all elements of this map and using the elements of the resulting collections.

Builds a new map by applying a function to all elements of this map 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 map. 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 map of iterable collections into a map formed by the elements of these iterable collections.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the type of map. 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)

Applies the given binary operator op to the given initial value z and all elements of this map.

For each application of the operator, each operand is either an element of this map, the initial value, or another such application of the operator.

The order of applications of the operator is unspecified and may be nondeterministic. Each element appears exactly once in the computation. The initial value may be used an arbitrary number of times, but at least once.

If this collection is ordered, then for any application of the operator, the element(s) appearing in the left operand will precede those in the right.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless either of the following conditions is met: (1) the operator is associative, and the underlying collection type is ordered; or (2) the operator is associative and commutative. In either case, it is also necessary that the initial value be a neutral value for the operator, e.g. Nil for List concatenation or 1 for multiplication.

The default implementation in IterableOnce is equivalent to foldLeft but may be overridden for more efficient traversal orders.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Applies the given binary operator op to the given initial value z and all elements of this map, going left to right. Returns the initial value if this map is empty.

"Going left to right" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this map, the result is op( op( ... op( op(z, x1), x2) ... ), xn).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each right operand is an element. In addition, the leftmost operand is the initial value, and each other left operand is itself an application of the operator. The elements of this map and the initial value all appear exactly once in the computation.

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

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this map and the given initial value z, going right to left. Returns the initial value if this map is empty.

"Going right to left" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this map, the result is op(x1, op(x2, op( ... op(xn, z) ... ))).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each left operand is an element. In addition, the rightmost operand is the initial value, and each other right operand is itself an application of the operator.

Defines how to turn a given Iterable[A] into a collection of type C.

This process can be done in a strict way or a non-strict way (ie. without evaluating the elements of the resulting collections). In other words, this methods defines the evaluation model of the collection.

Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

Returns the value associated with a key, or a default value if the key is not contained in the map.

Partitions this map into a map of maps according to some discriminator function.

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

Partitions this map into a map of maps 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 map into a map according to a discriminator function key. All the values that have the same discriminator are then transformed by the f 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.

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 map. The first value will be this map and the final one will be an empty map, 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.

Tests whether this map contains a binding for a key. This method, which implements an abstract method of trait PartialFunction, is equivalent to contains.

Tests whether the map is empty.

Note: The default implementation creates and discards an iterator.

Note: Implementations in subclasses that are not repeatedly iterable must take care not to consume any elements when isEmpty is called.

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

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

A set representing the keys contained by this map.

For efficiency the resulting set may be a view (maintaining a reference to the map and reflecting modifications to the map), but it may also be a strict collection without reference to the map.

• To ensure an independent strict collection, use m.keysIterator.toSet
• To obtain a view on the keys, use scala.collection.View.fromIteratorProvider(m.keysIterator)

Returns a Stepper for the keys of this map. See method stepper.

An Iterable collection of the keys contained by this map.

For efficiency the resulting collection may be a view (maintaining a reference to the map and reflecting modifications to the map), but it may also be a strict collection without reference to the map.

• To obtain a view on the keys, use scala.collection.View.fromIteratorProvider(m.keysIterator)

Composes this partial function with a fallback partial function which gets applied where this partial function is not defined.

A pair of, first, all elements that satisfy predicate p and, second, all elements that do not.

The two map correspond to the result of filter and filterNot, respectively.

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 map and returns a pair of maps: 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 = `Map`(1, "one", 2, "two", 3, "three") partitionMap {
 case i: Int => Left(i)
 case s: String => Right(s)
}
// xs == (`Map`(1, 2, 3),
//        `Map`(one, two, three))

Multiplies together the elements of this collection.

The default implementation uses reduce for a known non-empty collection, foldLeft otherwise.

Creates a ranged projection of this collection with no upper-bound.

Create a range projection of this collection with no lower-bound.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this map.

For each application of the operator, each operand is either an element of this map or another such application of the operator. The order of applications of the operator is unspecified and may be nondeterministic. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

If this collection is ordered, then for any application of the operator, the element(s) appearing in the left operand will precede those in the right.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless either of the following conditions is met: (1) the operator is associative, and the underlying collection type is ordered; or (2) the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this map, going left to right.

"Going left to right" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this map, the result is op( op( op( ... op(x1, x2) ... ), xn-1), xn).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each right operand is an element. In addition, the leftmost operand is the first element of this map and each other left operand is itself an application of the operator. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

If this map is nonempty, reduces it with the given binary operator op, going left to right.

The behavior is the same as reduceLeft except that the value is None if the map is empty. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this map, going right to left.

"Going right to left" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this map, the result is op(x1, op(x2, op( ... op(xn-1, xn) ... ))).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each left operand is an element. In addition, the rightmost operand is the last element of this map and each other right operand is itself an application of the operator. Each element appears exactly once in the computation.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Composes this partial function with an action function which gets applied to results of this partial function. The action function is invoked only for its side effects; its result is ignored.

Note that expression pf.runWith(action)(x) is equivalent to

if(pf isDefinedAt x) { action(pf(x)); true } else false

except that runWith is implemented via applyOrElse and thus potentially more efficient. Using runWith avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards for partial function literals.

Produces a map containing cumulative results of applying the operator going left to right, including the initial value.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Compares the size of this map to the size of another Iterable.

Compares the size of this map to a test value.

Returns a value class containing operations for comparing the size of this map 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

Groups elements in fixed size blocks by passing a "sliding window" over them (as opposed to partitioning them, as is done in grouped).

The returned iterator will be empty when called on an empty collection. The last element the iterator produces may be smaller than the window size when the original collection isn't exhausted by the window before it and its last element isn't skipped by the step before it.

Groups elements in fixed size blocks by passing a "sliding window" over them (as opposed to partitioning them, as is done in grouped).

An empty collection returns an empty iterator, and a non-empty collection containing fewer elements than the window size returns an iterator that will produce the original collection as its only element.

Similar to mapFromIterable, but returns a SortedMap collection type. Note that the return type is now CC[K2, V2].

Splits this map into a prefix/suffix pair according to a predicate.

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 map 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 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.

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

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.

Sums the elements of this collection.

The default implementation uses reduce for a known non-empty collection, foldLeft otherwise.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Executes the code in body with an exclusive lock on this.

The rest of the collection without its first element.

Iterates over the tails of this map. The first value will be this map and the final one will be an empty map, with the intervening values the results of successive applications of tail.

Selects the first n elements.

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

Selects the last n elements.

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.

Given a collection factory factory, converts this map to the appropriate representation for the current element type A. Example uses:

xs.to(List)
xs.to(ArrayBuffer)
xs.to(BitSet) // for xs: Iterable[Int]

Converts this map to an Array.

Implementation note: DO NOT call Array.from from this method.

Converts this map to a Buffer.

Converts this map to an IndexedSeq.

Converts this map to a List.

Converts this map to a Map, given an implicit coercion from the map's type to a key-value tuple.

Converts this map to a Set.

Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.

Converts this map to a Vector.

Transposes this map of iterable collections into a map of maps.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the static type of map. 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))
