Method Summary
`def` | +: (x : A) : Buffer[A] Prepends a single element to this buffer.
`override def` | += (x : A) : Unit Appends a single element to this buffer.
`def` | - (x : A) : Buffer[A] Removes a single element from the buffer and return the identity of the buffer. Same as `this -= x; this`
`override def` | -= (x : A) : Unit Remove a single element from this buffer.
`def` | apply (n : Int) : A Returns the n-th element of this list. This method yields an error if the element does not exist.
`def` | clear : Unit Clears the buffer contents.
`override def` | clone : Buffer[A] Returns a clone of this buffer.
`override def` | elements : Iterator[A] Returns an iterator over all elements of this list. Note: the iterator can be affected by insertions, updates and deletions that are performed afterwards on the buffer. To get iterator an over the current buffer snapshot, use `toList.elements`.
`override def` | equals (obj : Any) : Boolean Checks if two buffers are structurally identical.
`def` | insertAll (n : Int, iter : Iterable[A]) : Unit Inserts new elements at the index `n`. Opposed to method `update`, this method will not replace an element with a new one. Instead, it will insert a new element at index `n`.
`def` | length : Int Returns the length of this buffer.
`def` | prependToList (xs : List[A]) : List[A] Prepends the elements of this buffer to a given list
`def` | remove (n : Int) : A Removes the element on a given index position.
`protected override def` | stringPrefix : String Defines the prefix of the string representation.
`override def` | toList : List[A] Converts this buffer to a list
`def` | update (n : Int, x : A) : Unit Replaces element at index `n` with the new element `newelem`.

Method Details

`` `def` +:(x : A) : Buffer[A]

  Prepends a single element to this buffer.

Parameters
  `x -` the element to prepend.
Returns
  this buffer.

Overrides Buffer.+:

`override` `def` +=(x : A) : Unit

  Appends a single element to this buffer.

Parameters
  `x -` the element to append.

Overrides Buffer.+=

`` `def` -(x : A) : Buffer[A]

  Removes a single element from the buffer and return the identity of the buffer. Same as `this -= x; this`

Parameters
  `x -` the element to remove.
Returns
  this buffer.

`override` `def` -=(x : A) : Unit

  Remove a single element from this buffer.

Parameters
  `x -` the element to remove.

Overrides Buffer.-=

`override` `def` toList : List[A]

  Converts this buffer to a list

`` `def` prependToList(xs : List[A]) : List[A]

  Prepends the elements of this buffer to a given list

Parameters
  `xs -` the list to which elements are prepended

`` `def` clear : Unit

  Clears the buffer contents.

Overrides Buffer.clear

`` `def` length : Int

  Returns the length of this buffer.

Returns
  the length of this buffer.

`` `def` apply(n : Int) : A

  Returns the n-th element of this list. This method yields an error if the element does not exist.

Parameters
  `n -` the position of the element to be returned.
Returns
  the n-th element of this buffer.
Throws
  Predef.IndexOutOfBoundsException -

`` `def` update(n : Int, x : A) : Unit

  Replaces element at index `n` with the new element `newelem`.

Parameters
  `n -` the index of the element to replace.
  `x -` the new element.
Throws
  Predef.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if `n` is out of bounds.

Overrides Buffer.update

`` `def` insertAll(n : Int, iter : Iterable[A]) : Unit

  Inserts new elements at the index `n`. Opposed to method `update`, this method will not replace an element with a new one. Instead, it will insert a new element at index `n`.

Parameters
  `n -` the index where a new element will be inserted.
  `iter -` the iterable object providing all elements to insert.
Throws
  Predef.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if `n` is out of bounds.

Overrides Buffer.insertAll

`` `def` remove(n : Int) : A

  Removes the element on a given index position.

Parameters
  `n -` the index which refers to the element to delete.
Returns
  n the element that was formerly at position `n`.
Precondition
  an element exists at position `n`
Throws
  Predef.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if `n` is out of bounds.

Overrides Buffer.remove

`override` `def` elements : Iterator[A]

  Returns an iterator over all elements of this list.

  > Note: the iterator can be affected by insertions, updates and deletions that are performed afterwards on the buffer. To get iterator an over the current buffer snapshot, use `toList.elements`.

Throws
  Predef.NoSuchElementException - if buffer is empty

`override` `def` clone : Buffer[A]

  Returns a clone of this buffer.

Returns
  a `ListBuffer` with the same elements.

Overrides Buffer.clone

`override` `def` equals(obj : Any) : Boolean

  Checks if two buffers are structurally identical.

Returns
  `true`, iff both buffers contain the same sequence of elements.

`protected override` `def` stringPrefix : String

  Defines the prefix of the string representation.

Returns
  the string representation of this buffer.

Overrides Buffer.stringPrefix
