# Unit

#### abstract final class Unit extends AnyVal

`Unit` is a subtype of scala.AnyVal. There is only one value of type `Unit`, `()`, and it is not represented by any object in the underlying runtime system. A method with return type `Unit` is analogous to a Java method which is declared `void`.

### Value Members

1. #### 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

2. #### 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 ==

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. #### 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.

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

    Compares the receiver object (`this`) with the argument object (`that`) for equivalence.

    Compares the receiver object (`this`) with the argument object (`that`) for equivalence.

    Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:

    - It is reflexive: for any instance `x` of type `Any`, `x.equals(x)` should return `true`.
    - It is symmetric: for any instances `x` and `y` of type `Any`, `x.equals(y)` should return `true` if and only if `y.equals(x)` returns `true`.
    - It is transitive: for any instances `x`, `y`, and `z` of type `AnyRef` if `x.equals(y)` returns `true` and `y.equals(z)` returns `true`, then `x.equals(z)` should return `true`.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override `hashCode` to ensure that objects which are "equal" (`o1.equals(o2)` returns `true`) hash to the same scala.Int. (`o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)`).

    returns

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

      Any

12. #### def formatted(fmtstr: String): String

    Returns string formatted according to given `format` string.

    Returns string formatted according to given `format` string. Format strings are as for `String.format` (@see java.lang.String.format).

13. #### def getClass(): Class[Unit]

    Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

    Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

    returns

      a class object corresponding to the runtime type of the receiver.

    Definition Classes
      Unit → AnyVal → Any

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

    Calculate a hash code value for the object.

    Calculate a hash code value for the object.

    The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

    Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (`o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)`) yet not be equal (`o1.equals(o2)` returns `false`). A degenerate implementation could always return `0`. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (`o1.equals(o2)` returns `true`) that they have identical hash codes (`o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)`). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the `equals` method.

    returns

      the hash code value for this object.

    Definition Classes
      Any

15. #### 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.

    Definition Classes
      Any

16. #### def toString(): String

    Returns a string representation of the object.
