### Type Members

1. #### type ConcurrentModificationException = ConcurrentModificationException

   This is a type alias for `java.util.ConcurrentModificationException`, which may be thrown by methods that detect an invalid modification of an object.

   This is a type alias for `java.util.ConcurrentModificationException`, which may be thrown by methods that detect an invalid modification of an object. For example, many common collection types do not allow modifying a collection while it is being iterated over.

2. #### type StackOverflowError = StackOverflowError

   Thrown when a stack overflow occurs because a method or function recurses too deeply.

   Thrown when a stack overflow occurs because a method or function recurses too deeply.

   On the JVM, this is a type alias for `java.lang.StackOverflowError`, which itself extends `java.lang.Error`. The same rules apply to catching a `java.lang.Error` as for Java, that it indicates a serious problem that a reasonable application should not try and catch.

### Value Members

   Definition Classes
     AnyRef

2. #### final def !=(arg0: Any): Boolean

   Test two objects for inequality.

   Test two objects for inequality.

   returns

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

   Definition Classes
     Any

3. #### 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 ==

     AnyRef

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.

   Definition Classes
     Any

6. #### val EOL: String

   The default line separator.

   The default line separator.

   On the JVM, this is equivalent to calling the method: `System.getProperty("line.separator")` with a default value of "\n".

7. #### def arrayclear(arr: Array[Int]): Unit

   Assigns the value of 0 to each element in the array.

   Assigns the value of 0 to each element in the array.

   arr

     A non-null Array[Int].

   Annotations
     @inline()
   Exceptions thrown
     `java.lang.NullPointerException`

     If `arr` is `null`.

8. #### def arraycopy(src: AnyRef, srcPos: Int, dest: AnyRef, destPos: Int, length: Int): Unit

   Copies `length` elements of array `src` starting at position `srcPos` to the array `dest` starting at position `destPos`.

   Copies `length` elements of array `src` starting at position `srcPos` to the array `dest` starting at position `destPos`. If `src`==`dest`, the copying will behave as if the elements copied from `src` were first copied to a temporary array before being copied back into the array at the destination positions.

   src

     A non-null array as source for the copy.

   srcPos

     The starting index in the source array.

   dest

     A non-null array as destination for the copy.

   destPos

     The starting index in the destination array.

   length

     The number of elements to be copied.

   Annotations
     @inline()
   Exceptions thrown
     java.lang.NullPointerException

     If either `src` or `dest` are `null`.

     java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

     If either srcPos`or` destPos`are outside of the bounds of their respective arrays; or if` length`is negative; or if there are less than` length`elements available after` srcPos`or` destPos`in` src`and` dest`respectively.`

     java.lang.ArrayStoreException

     If either `src` or `dest` are not of type [java.lang.Array]; or if the element type of `src` is not compatible with that of `dest`.

9. #### 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.

   Definition Classes
     Any
   Exceptions thrown
     ClassCastException

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

10. #### 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.

11. #### def collectGarbage(): Unit

    Runs the garbage collector.

    Runs the garbage collector.

    This is a request that the underlying JVM runs the garbage collector. The results of this call depends heavily on the JVM used. The underlying JVM is free to ignore this request.

12. #### def createArray(elemClass: Class[_], length: Int): AnyRef

    Creates a new array of the specified type and given length.

    Creates a new array of the specified type and given length.

    Note that if `elemClass` is a subclass of AnyVal then the returned value is an Array of the corresponding java primitive type. For example, the following code `scala.compat.Platform.createArray(classOf[Int], 4)` returns an array of the java primitive type `int`.

    For a AnyVal array, the values of the array are set to 0 for numeric value types (Double, Float, Long, Int, Char, Short, and Byte), and `false` for Boolean. Creation of an array of type Unit is not possible.

    For subclasses of AnyRef, the values of the array are set to `null`.

    The caller must cast the returned value to the correct type.

    elemClass

      the `Class` object of the component type of the array

    length

      the length of the new array.

    returns

      an array of the given component type as an `AnyRef`.

    Example:

    1.      val a = scala.compat.Platform.createArray(classOf[Int], 4).asInstanceOf[Array[Int]] // returns Array[Int](0, 0, 0, 0)

    Exceptions thrown
      `java.lang.NullPointerException`

      If `elemClass` is `null`.

      `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`

      if componentType is Unit or `java.lang.Void.TYPE`

      `java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException`

      if the specified length is negative

13. #### def currentTime: Long

    The current time in milliseconds.

15. #### final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) 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.

      AnyRef

16. #### def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    The equality method for reference types.

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

    See also `equals` in Any.

    returns

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

17. #### def finalize(): Unit

    Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

    Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

    The details of when and if the `finalize` method is invoked, as well as the interaction between `finalize` and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

      if the initialization provoked by this method fails

      `java.lang.ClassNotFoundException`

      if the class cannot be located

      `java.lang.LinkageError`

      if the linkage fails

20. #### def hashCode(): Int

21. #### 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.

    returns

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