trait Collection

[source: `scala/Collection.scala`]

`` `trait` Collection[+A]
  `extends` Iterable[A]

  Variant of `Iterable` used to describe collections with a finite number of elements. Basically, this trait just adds size and toString to Iterable, as most of the methods in Iterable already assume finite-ness.
