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

For example:

The type of the resulting collection is guided by the static type of iterable collection. 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]

protected def fromSpecific(coll: IterableOnce[A]): CC[A]

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

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.

Attributes

Note

When implementing a custom collection type and refining C to the new type, this method needs to be overridden (the compiler will issue an error otherwise). In the common case where C =:= CC[A], this can be done by mixing in the scala.collection.IterableFactoryDefaults trait, which implements the method using iterableFactory.

As witnessed by the @uncheckedVariance annotation, using this method might be unsound. However, as long as it is called with an Iterable[A] obtained from this collection (as it is the case in the implementations of operations where we use a View[A]), it is safe.

protected def newSpecificBuilder: Builder[A, CC[A]]

Attributes

Returns

a strict builder for the same collection type. Note that in the case of lazy collections (e.g. scala.collection.View or scala.collection.immutable.LazyList), it is possible to implement this method but the resulting Builder will break laziness. As a consequence, operations should preferably be implemented with fromSpecific instead of this method.

Note

When implementing a custom collection type and refining C to the new type, this method needs to be overridden (the compiler will issue an error otherwise). In the common case where C =:= CC[A], this can be done by mixing in the scala.collection.IterableFactoryDefaults trait, which implements the method using iterableFactory.

As witnessed by the @uncheckedVariance annotation, using this method might be unsound. However, as long as the returned builder is only fed with A values taken from this instance, it is safe.

def stepper[S <: Stepper[_]](implicit shape: StepperShape[A, S]): S

Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to S with EfficientSplit, for example scala.collection.IndexedSeqOps.stepper.

Type parameters

A1

the type of the first member of the element triples

A2

the type of the second member of the element triples

A3

the type of the third member of the element triples

Value parameters

asTriple

an implicit conversion which asserts that the element type of this iterable collection is a triple.

Attributes

Returns

a triple of iterable collections, containing the first, second, respectively third member of each element triple of this iterable collection.

def withFilter(p: A => Boolean): WithFilter[A, CC]

Creates a non-strict filter of this iterable collection.

Creates a non-strict filter of this iterable collection.

Note: the difference between c filter p and c withFilter p is that the former creates a new collection, whereas the latter only restricts the domain of subsequent map, flatMap, foreach, and withFilter operations.

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

Value parameters

p

the predicate used to test elements.

Attributes

Returns

an object of class WithFilter, which supports map, flatMap, foreach, and withFilter operations. All these operations apply to those elements of this iterable collection which satisfy the predicate p.

def zip[B](that: IterableOnce[B]): CC[(A, B)]

Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs.

Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is longer than the other, its remaining elements are ignored.

Type parameters

B

the type of the second half of the returned pairs

Value parameters

that

The iterable providing the second half of each result pair

Attributes

Returns

a new iterable collection containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this iterable collection and that. The length of the returned collection is the minimum of the lengths of this iterable collection and that.

def zipAll[A1 >: A, B](that: Iterable[B], thisElem: A1, thatElem: B): CC[(A1, B)]

Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs.

Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is shorter than the other, placeholder elements are used to extend the shorter collection to the length of the longer.

Value parameters

that

the iterable providing the second half of each result pair

thatElem

the element to be used to fill up the result if that is shorter than this iterable collection.

thisElem

the element to be used to fill up the result if this iterable collection is shorter than that.

Attributes

Returns

a new collection of type That containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this iterable collection and that. The length of the returned collection is the maximum of the lengths of this iterable collection and that. If this iterable collection is shorter than that, thisElem values are used to pad the result. If that is shorter than this iterable collection, thatElem values are used to pad the result.

def zipWithIndex: CC[(A, Int)]

Zips this iterable collection with its indices.

Zips this iterable collection with its indices.

Attributes

Returns

A new iterable collection containing pairs consisting of all elements of this iterable collection paired with their index. Indices start at 0.

Example

List("a", "b", "c").zipWithIndex == List(("a", 0), ("b", 1), ("c", 2))

Tests whether this collection is known to have a finite size.

Tests whether this 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 returns true if all elements have been computed. It returns false if the stream is not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually return false 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 returns true. However, checking hasDefiniteSize can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.

Attributes

Returns

true if this collection is known to have finite size, false otherwise.

See also

method knownSize for a more useful alternative

Deprecated

This method is deprecated in 2.13 because it does not provide any actionable information. As noted above, even the collection library itself does not use it. When there is no guarantee that a collection is finite, it is generally best to attempt a computation anyway and document that it will not terminate for infinite collections rather than backing out because this would prevent performing the computation on collections that are in fact finite even though hasDefiniteSize returns false.
