    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:

    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.

    A utility for performing automatic resource management.

    A utility for performing automatic resource management. It can be used to perform an operation using resources, after which it releases the resources in reverse order of their creation.

    Usage

    There are multiple ways to automatically manage resources with Using. If you only need to manage a single resource, the apply method is easiest; it wraps the resource opening, operation, and resource releasing in a Try.

    Example:

    import java.io.{BufferedReader, FileReader}
    import scala.util.{Try, Using}
    
    val lines: Try[Seq[String]] =
      Using(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"))) { reader =>
        Iterator.continually(reader.readLine()).takeWhile(_ != null).toSeq
      }

    If you need to manage multiple resources, Using.Manager should be used. It allows the managing of arbitrarily many resources, whose creation, use, and release are all wrapped in a Try.

    Example:

    import java.io.{BufferedReader, FileReader}
    import scala.util.{Try, Using}
    
    val lines: Try[Seq[String]] = Using.Manager { use =>
      val r1 = use(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file1.txt")))
      val r2 = use(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file2.txt")))
      val r3 = use(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file3.txt")))
      val r4 = use(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file4.txt")))
    
      // use your resources here
      def lines(reader: BufferedReader): Iterator[String] =
        Iterator.continually(reader.readLine()).takeWhile(_ != null)
    
      (lines(r1) ++ lines(r2) ++ lines(r3) ++ lines(r4)).toList
    }

    If you wish to avoid wrapping management and operations in a Try, you can use Using.resource, which throws any exceptions that occur.

    Example:

    import java.io.{BufferedReader, FileReader}
    import scala.util.Using
    
    val lines: Seq[String] =
      Using.resource(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"))) { reader =>
        Iterator.continually(reader.readLine()).takeWhile(_ != null).toSeq
      }

    Suppression Behavior

    If two exceptions are thrown (e.g., by an operation and closing a resource), one of them is re-thrown, and the other is added to it as a suppressed exception. If the two exceptions are of different 'severities' (see below), the one of a higher severity is re-thrown, and the one of a lower severity is added to it as a suppressed exception. If the two exceptions are of the same severity, the one thrown first is re-thrown, and the one thrown second is added to it as a suppressed exception. If an exception is a ControlThrowable, or if it does not support suppression (see Throwable's constructor with an enableSuppression parameter), an exception that would have been suppressed is instead discarded.

    Exceptions are ranked from highest to lowest severity as follows:

    • java.lang.VirtualMachineError
    • java.lang.LinkageError
    • java.lang.InterruptedException and java.lang.ThreadDeath
    • fatal exceptions, excluding scala.util.control.ControlThrowable
    • scala.util.control.ControlThrowable
    • all other exceptions

    When more than two exceptions are thrown, the first two are combined and re-thrown as described above, and each successive exception thrown is combined as it is thrown.

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

  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).

    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.

  4. 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.

    Exceptions thrown

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

  5. def clone(): AnyRef

    Create a copy of the receiver object.

    Create a copy of the receiver object.

    The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

    returns

    a copy of the receiver object.

  6. 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.

    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.
