  This is the documentation for the Scala standard library.

  #### Package structure

  The scala package contains core types like `Int`, `Float`, `Array` or `Option` which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.

  Notable packages include:

  - `scala.collection` and its sub-packages contain Scala's collections framework
    - `scala.collection.immutable` - Immutable, sequential data-structures such as `Vector`, `List`, `Range`, `HashMap` or `HashSet`
    - `scala.collection.mutable` - Mutable, sequential data-structures such as `ArrayBuffer`, `StringBuilder`, `HashMap` or `HashSet`
    - `scala.collection.concurrent` - Mutable, concurrent data-structures such as `TrieMap`
    - `scala.collection.parallel.immutable` - Immutable, parallel data-structures such as `ParVector`, `ParRange`, `ParHashMap` or `ParHashSet`
    - `scala.collection.parallel.mutable` - Mutable, parallel data-structures such as `ParArray`, `ParHashMap`, `ParTrieMap` or `ParHashSet`
  - `scala.concurrent` - Primitives for concurrent programming such as `Futures` and `Promises`
  - `scala.io` - Input and output operations
  - `scala.math` - Basic math functions and additional numeric types like `BigInt` and `BigDecimal`
  - `scala.sys` - Interaction with other processes and the operating system
  - `scala.util.matching` - Regular expressions

  Other packages exist. See the complete list on the right.

  Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:

  - `scala.reflect` - Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)
  - `scala.xml` - XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)
  - `scala.swing` - A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)
  - `scala.util.parsing` - Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)

  #### Automatic imports

  Identifiers in the scala package and the `scala.Predef` object are always in scope by default.

  Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example, `List` is an alias for `scala.collection.immutable.List`.

  Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM, `String` is an alias for `java.lang.String`.

  #### Guide

  A detailed guide for using the collections library is available at http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/collections/introduction.html. Developers looking to extend the collections library can find a description of its architecture at http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/architecture-of-scala-collections.html.

  #### Using Collections

  It is convenient to treat all collections as either a scala.collection.Traversable or scala.collection.Iterable, as these traits define the vast majority of operations on a collection.

  Collections can, of course, be treated as specifically as needed, and the library is designed to ensure that the methods that transform collections will return a collection of the same type:

      scala> val array = Array(1,2,3,4,5,6)
      array: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

      scala> array map { _.toString }
      res0: Array[String] = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

      scala> val list = List(1,2,3,4,5,6)
      list: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

      scala> list map { _.toString }
      res1: List[String] = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

  #### Creating Collections

  The most common way to create a collection is to use its companion object as a factory. The three most commonly used collections are scala.collection.Seq, scala.collection.immutable.Set, and scala.collection.immutable.Map. They can be used directly as shown below since their companion objects are all available as type aliases in either the scala package or in `scala.Predef`. New collections are created like this:

      scala> val seq = Seq(1,2,3,4,1)
      seq: Seq[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 1)

      scala> val set = Set(1,2,3,4,1)
      set: scala.collection.immutable.Set[Int] = Set(1, 2, 3, 4)

      scala> val map = Map(1 -> "one", 2 -> "two", 3 -> "three", 2 -> "too")
      map: scala.collection.immutable.Map[Int,String] = Map(1 -> one, 2 -> too, 3 -> three)

  It is also typical to prefer the scala.collection.immutable collections over those in scala.collection.mutable; the types aliased in the `scala.Predef` object are the immutable versions.

  Also note that the collections library was carefully designed to include several implementations of each of the three basic collection types. These implementations have specific performance characteristics which are described in the guide.

  The concrete parallel collections also have specific performance characteristics which are described in the parallel collections guide

  ##### Converting to and from Java Collections

  The scala.collection.JavaConverters object provides a collection of decorators that allow converting between Scala and Java collections using `asScala` and `asJava` methods.

     (Changed in version 2.8.0) `++` creates a new buffer. Use `++=` to add an element from this buffer and return that buffer itself.

5.  def ++[B >: A, That](that: GenTraversableOnce[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[ArrayBuffer[A], B, That]): That

   Returns a new traversable collection containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand.

   Returns a new traversable collection containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand. The element type of the traversable collection is the most specific superclass encompassing the element types of the two operands.

   B

     the element type of the returned collection.

   That

     the class of the returned collection. Where possible, `That` is the same class as the current collection class `Repr`, but this depends on the element type `B` being admissible for that class, which means that an implicit instance of type `CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That]` is found.

   that

     the traversable to append.

   bf

     an implicit value of class `CanBuildFrom` which determines the result class `That` from the current representation type `Repr` and the new element type `B`.

   returns

     a new collection of type `That` which contains all elements of this traversable collection followed by all elements of `that`.

6.  def ++:[B >: A, That](that: collection.Traversable[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[ArrayBuffer[A], B, That]): That

   As with `++`, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.

   As with `++`, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.

   It differs from `++` in that the right operand determines the type of the resulting collection rather than the left one. Mnemonic: the COLon is on the side of the new COLlection type.

   Example:

       scala> val x = List(1)
       x: List[Int] = List(1)

       scala> val y = LinkedList(2)
       y: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(2)

       scala> val z = x ++: y
       z: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)

   This overload exists because: for the implementation of `++:` we should reuse that of `++` because many collections override it with more efficient versions.

   Since `TraversableOnce` has no `++` method, we have to implement that directly, but `Traversable` and down can use the overload.

   B

     the element type of the returned collection.

   That

     the class of the returned collection. Where possible, `That` is the same class as the current collection class `Repr`, but this depends on the element type `B` being admissible for that class, which means that an implicit instance of type `CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That]` is found.

   that

     the traversable to append.

   bf

     an implicit value of class `CanBuildFrom` which determines the result class `That` from the current representation type `Repr` and the new element type `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 is similar to `foldLeft` in that it doesn't require the result to be a supertype of the element type. In addition, it allows parallel collections to be processed in chunks, and then combines the intermediate results.

    `aggregate` splits the traversable or iterator into partitions and processes each partition by sequentially applying `seqop`, starting with `z` (like `foldLeft`). Those intermediate results are then combined by using `combop` (like `fold`). The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions (even 1), so `combop` may be invoked an arbitrary number of times (even 0).

    As an example, consider summing up the integer values of a list of chars. The initial value for the sum is 0. First, `seqop` transforms each input character to an Int and adds it to the sum (of the partition). Then, `combop` just needs to sum up the intermediate results of the partitions:

        List('a', 'b', 'c').aggregate(0)({ (sum, ch) => sum + ch.toInt }, { (p1, p2) => p1 + p2 })

    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) and may be evaluated more than once

    seqop

    Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain. Applies fallback function where this partial function is not defined.

    Note that expression `pf.applyOrElse(x, default)` is equivalent to

        if(pf isDefinedAt x) pf(x) else default(x)

    except that `applyOrElse` method can be implemented more efficiently. For all partial function literals the compiler generates an `applyOrElse` implementation which avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards. This makes `applyOrElse` the basis for the efficient implementation for many operations and scenarios, such as:

    - combining partial functions into `orElse`/`andThen` chains does not lead to excessive `apply`/`isDefinedAt` evaluation
    - `lift` and `unlift` do not evaluate source functions twice on each invocation
    - `runWith` allows efficient imperative-style combining of partial functions with conditionally applied actions

    For non-literal partial function classes with nontrivial `isDefinedAt` method it is recommended to override `applyOrElse` with custom implementation that avoids double `isDefinedAt` evaluation. This may result in better performance and more predictable behavior w.r.t. side effects.

    x

    Tests whether the argument (`that`) 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.

    Tests whether this traversable collection is known to have a finite size. All strict collections are known to have finite size. For a non-strict collection such as `Stream`, the predicate returns `true` if all elements have been computed. It returns `false` if the stream is not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually return `false` even if they were created from a collection with a known finite size.

    Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes. The typical failure mode is an infinite loop. These methods always attempt a traversal without checking first that `hasDefiniteSize` returns `true`. However, checking `hasDefiniteSize` can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.

     Note that expression `pf.runWith(action)(x)` is equivalent to
