# TraversableOnce

#### trait TraversableOnce[+A] extends GenTraversableOnce[A]

A template trait for collections which can be traversed either once only or one or more times.

This trait exists primarily to eliminate code duplication between `Iterator` and `Traversable`, and thus implements some of the common methods that can be implemented solely in terms of foreach without access to a `Builder`. It also includes a number of abstract methods whose implementations are provided by `Iterator`, `Traversable`, etc. It contains implementations common to `Iterators` and `Traversables`, such as folds, conversions, and other operations which traverse some or all of the elements and return a derived value. Directly subclassing `TraversableOnce` is not recommended - instead, consider declaring an `Iterator` with a `next` and `hasNext` method, creating an `Iterator` with one of the methods on the `Iterator` object, or declaring a subclass of `Traversable`.

            a: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2, 3, 4)

    sep

      the separator string.

    returns

      the string builder `b` to which elements were appended.

11. #### def addString(b: StringBuilder, start: String, sep: String, end: String): StringBuilder

    Appends all elements of this traversable or iterator to a string builder using start, end, and separator strings.

    Appends all elements of this traversable or iterator 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 traversable or iterator are separated by the string `sep`.

    Example:

             scala> val a = LinkedList(1,2,3,4)

    start

      the starting string.

    sep

      the separator string.

    end

      the ending string.

    returns

      the string builder `b` to which elements were appended.

12. #### def aggregate[B](z: B)(seqop: (B, A) ⇒ B, combop: (B, B) ⇒ B): B

    Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

    Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

    This is a more general form of `fold` and `reduce`. It has similar semantics, but does not require the result to be a supertype of the element type. It traverses the elements in different partitions sequentially, using `seqop` to update the result, and then applies `combop` to results from different partitions. The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions, so `combop` may be invoked an arbitrary number of times.

    For example, one might want to process some elements and then produce a `Set`. In this case, `seqop` would process an element and append it to the list, while `combop` would concatenate two lists from different partitions together. The initial value `z` would be an empty set.

           pc.aggregate(Set[Int]())(_ += process(_), _ ++ _)

    Another example is calculating geometric mean from a collection of doubles (one would typically require big doubles for this).

    B

      the type of accumulated results

    z

      the initial value for the accumulated result of the partition - this will typically be the neutral element for the `seqop` operator (e.g. `Nil` for list concatenation or `0` for summation)

    seqop

      an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

    combop

      an associative operator used to combine results from different partitions

13. #### 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

    returns

      an option value containing pf applied to the first value for which it is defined, or `None` if none exists.

20. #### 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.

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

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

28. #### 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.
