  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.

# HashTable 

###

#### trait HashTable[A, Entry >: Null <: HashEntry[A, Entry]] extends HashUtils[A]

This class can be used to construct data structures that are based on hashtables. Class `HashTable[A]` implements a hashtable that maps keys of type `A` to values of the fully abstract member type `Entry`. Classes that make use of `HashTable` have to provide an implementation for `Entry`.

There are mainly two parameters that affect the performance of a hashtable: the initial size and the load factor. The size refers to the number of buckets in the hashtable, and the load factor is a measure of how full the hashtable is allowed to get before its size is automatically doubled. Both parameters may be changed by overriding the corresponding values in class `HashTable`.

A

  type of the elements contained in this hash table.

1.  abstract def createNewEntry[B](key: A, value: B): Entry

   Creates new entry to be immediately inserted into the hashtable.

   Creates new entry to be immediately inserted into the hashtable. This method is guaranteed to be called only once and in case that the entry will be added. In other words, an implementation may be side-effecting.

2.  final def ##(): Int

   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`.

     a hash value consistent with ==

   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.

20.  final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (`that`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    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.
