  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.

###
Companion object Stream

#### sealed abstract class Stream[+A] extends AbstractSeq[A] with LinearSeq[A] with GenericTraversableTemplate[A, Stream] with LinearSeqOptimized[A, Stream[A]] with Serializable

The class `Stream` implements lazy lists where elements are only evaluated when they are needed. Here is an example:

    import scala.math.BigInt
    object Main extends App {

      lazy val fibs: Stream[BigInt] = BigInt(0) #:: BigInt(1) #:: fibs.zip(fibs.tail).map { n => n._1 + n._2 }

      fibs take 5 foreach println
    }

    // prints
    //
    // 0
    // 1
    // 1
    // 2
    // 3

The `Stream` class also employs memoization such that previously computed values are converted from `Stream` elements to concrete values of type `A`. To illustrate, we will alter body of the `fibs` value above and take some more values:

    import scala.math.BigInt
    object Main extends App {

      lazy val fibs: Stream[BigInt] = BigInt(0) #:: BigInt(1) #:: fibs.zip(
        fibs.tail).map(n => {
          println("Adding %d and %d".format(n._1, n._2))
          n._1 + n._2
        })

      fibs take 5 foreach println
      fibs take 6 foreach println
    }

    // prints
    //
    // 0
    // 1
    // Adding 0 and 1
    // 1
    // Adding 1 and 1
    // 2
    // Adding 1 and 2
    // 3

    // And then prints
    //
    // 0
    // 1
    // 1
    // 2
    // 3
    // Adding 2 and 3
    // 5

There are a number of subtle points to the above example.

- The definition of `fibs` is a `val` not a method. The memoization of the `Stream` requires us to have somewhere to store the information and a `val` allows us to do that.
- While the `Stream` is actually being modified during access, this does not change the notion of its immutability. Once the values are memoized they do not change and values that have yet to be memoized still "exist", they simply haven't been realized yet.
- One must be cautious of memoization; you can very quickly eat up large amounts of memory if you're not careful. The reason for this is that the memoization of the `Stream` creates a structure much like scala.collection.immutable.List. So long as something is holding on to the head, the head holds on to the tail, and so it continues recursively. If, on the other hand, there is nothing holding on to the head (e.g. we used `def` to define the `Stream`) then once it is no longer being used directly, it disappears.
- Note that some operations, including drop, dropWhile, flatMap or collect may process a large number of intermediate elements before returning. These necessarily hold onto the head, since they are methods on `Stream`, and a stream holds its own head. For computations of this sort where memoization is not desired, use `Iterator` when possible.

    // For example, let's build the natural numbers and do some silly iteration
    // over them.

    // We'll start with a silly iteration
    def loop(s: String, i: Int, iter: Iterator[Int]): Unit = {
      // Stop after 200,000
      if (i < 200001) {
        if (i % 50000 == 0) println(s + i)
        loop(s, iter.next, iter)
      }
    }

    // Our first Stream definition will be a val definition
    val stream1: Stream[Int] = {
      def loop(v: Int): Stream[Int] = v #:: loop(v + 1)
      loop(0)
    }

    // Because stream1 is a val, everything that the iterator produces is held
    // by virtue of the fact that the head of the Stream is held in stream1
    val it1 = stream1.iterator
    loop("Iterator1: ", it1.next, it1)

    // We can redefine this Stream such that all we have is the Iterator left
    // and allow the Stream to be garbage collected as required.  Using a def
    // to provide the Stream ensures that no val is holding onto the head as
    // is the case with stream1
    def stream2: Stream[Int] = {
      def loop(v: Int): Stream[Int] = v #:: loop(v + 1)
      loop(0)
    }
    val it2 = stream2.iterator
    loop("Iterator2: ", it2.next, it2)

    // And, of course, we don't actually need a Stream at all for such a simple
    // problem.  There's no reason to use a Stream if you don't actually need
    // one.
    val it3 = new Iterator[Int] {
      var i = -1
      def hasNext = true
      def next(): Int = { i += 1; i }
    }
    loop("Iterator3: ", it3.next, it3)

- The fact that `tail` works at all is of interest. In the definition of `fibs` we have an initial `(0, 1, Stream(...))` so `tail` is deterministic. If we defined `fibs` such that only `0` were concretely known then the act of determining `tail` would require the evaluation of `tail` which would cause an infinite recursion and stack overflow. If we define a definition where the tail is not initially computable then we're going to have an infinite recursion:

    // The first time we try to access the tail we're going to need more
    // information which will require us to recurse, which will require us to
    // recurse, which...
    lazy val sov: Stream[Vector[Int]] = Vector(0) #:: sov.zip(sov.tail).map { n => n._1 ++ n._2 }

The definition of `fibs` above creates a larger number of objects than necessary depending on how you might want to implement it. The following implementation provides a more "cost effective" implementation due to the fact that it has a more direct route to the numbers themselves:

    lazy val fib: Stream[Int] = {
      def loop(h: Int, n: Int): Stream[Int] = h #:: loop(n, h + n)
      loop(1, 1)
    }

Note that `mkString` forces evaluation of a `Stream`, but `addString` does not. In both cases, a `Stream` that is or ends in a cycle (e.g. `lazy val s: Stream[Int] = 0 #:: s`) will convert additional trips through the cycle to `...`. Additionally, `addString` will display an un-memoized tail as `?`.

   returns

   Definition Classes
     Stream → TraversableLike → GenTraversableLike
   Note

     This method doesn't cause the `Stream` to be fully realized but it should be noted that using the `++` operator from another collection type could cause infinite realization of a `Stream`. For example, referring to the definition of `fibs` in the preamble, the following would never return: `List(BigInt(12)) ++ fibs`.

     ,

     It's subtle why this works. We know that if the target type of the scala.collection.mutable.Builder `That` is either a `Stream`, or one of its supertypes, or undefined, then `StreamBuilder` will be chosen for the implicit. We recognize that fact and optimize to get more laziness.

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

    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.

    Tests whether this stream is known to have a finite size.

    Tests whether this stream 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.

     [use case]

     Produces a new sequence which contains all elements of this stream and also all elements of a given sequence. `xs union ys` is equivalent to `xs ++ ys`.

     Another way to express this is that `xs union ys` computes the order-preserving multi-set union of `xs` and `ys`. `union` is hence a counter-part of `diff` and `intersect` which also work on multi-sets.

     Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.
