    This is the documentation for the Scala standard library.

    Package structure

    The scala package contains core types like Int, Float, Array or Option which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.

    Notable packages include:

    Other 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.collection.parallel - Parallel collections (scala-parallel-collections.jar)
    • scala.util.parsing - Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)
    • scala.swing - A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.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 for scala.collection.immutable.List.

    Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM, String is an alias for java.lang.String.

  • object OptionConverters

    This object provides extension methods that convert between Scala Option and Java Optional types.

    This object provides extension methods that convert between Scala Option and Java Optional types.

    When writing Java code, use the explicit conversion methods defined in javaapi.OptionConverters instead.

    Scala Option is extended with a toJava method that creates a corresponding Optional, and a toJavaPrimitive method that creates a specialized variant (e.g., OptionalInt) if applicable.

    Java Optional is extended with a toScala method and a toJavaPrimitive method.

    Finally, specialized Optional types are extended with toScala and toJavaGeneric methods.

    Example usage:

    import scala.jdk.OptionConverters._
    val a = Option("example").toJava      // Creates java.util.Optional[String] containing "example"
    val b = (None: Option[String]).toJava // Creates an empty java.util.Optional[String]
    val c = a.toScala                     // Back to Option("example")
    val d = b.toScala                     // Back to None typed as Option[String]
    val e = Option(2.7).toJava            // java.util.Optional[Double] containing boxed 2.7
    val f = Option(2.7).toJavaPrimitive   // java.util.OptionalDouble containing 2.7 (not boxed)
    val g = f.toScala                     // Back to Option(2.7)
    val h = f.toJavaGeneric               // Same as e
    val i = e.toJavaPrimitive             // Same as f

Value Members

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

    Test two objects for inequality.

    Test two objects for inequality.

    returns

    true if !(this == that), false otherwise.

    Any
  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 ==

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

    Test two objects for equality.

    Test two objects for equality. The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

  6. 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.

    Any
    Exceptions thrown

    ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.

  13. final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    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.
