  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.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.collection.parallel` - Parallel collections (scala-parallel-collections.jar)
  - `scala.util.parsing` - Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)
  - `scala.swing` - A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.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`.

1.  final def !=(arg0: Any): Boolean

   Test two objects for inequality.

   returns

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 ==

   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.

4.  final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

   Forces the compiler to treat the receiver object as having type `T0`, even though doing so may violate type safety.

   Forces the compiler to treat the receiver object as having type `T0`, even though doing so may violate type safety.

   This method is useful when you believe you have type information the compiler doesn't, and it also isn't possible to check the type at runtime. In such situations, skipping type safety is the only option.

   It is platform dependent whether `asInstanceOf` has any effect at runtime. It might do a runtime type test on the erasure of `T0`, insert a conversion (such as boxing/unboxing), fill in a default value, or do nothing at all.

   In particular, `asInstanceOf` is not a type test. It does **not** mean:

       this match {
        case x: T0 => x
        case _     => throw ClassCastException("...")

   Use pattern matching or isInstanceOf for type testing instead.

   Situations where `asInstanceOf` is useful:

   - when flow analysis fails to deduce `T0` automatically
   - when down-casting a type parameter or an abstract type member (which cannot be checked at runtime due to type erasure) If there is any doubt and you are able to type test instead, you should do so.

   Be careful of using `asInstanceOf` when `T0` is a primitive type. When `T0` is primitive, `asInstanceOf` may insert a conversion instead of a type test. If your intent is to convert, use a `toT` method (`x.toChar`, `x.toByte`, etc.).

   returns

     the receiver object.

   Definition Classes
     Any
   Exceptions thrown

     `ClassCastException` if the receiver is not an instance of the erasure of `T0`, if that can be checked on this platform

5.  def clone(): AnyRef

   Create a copy of the receiver object.

   Create a copy of the receiver object.

   The default implementation of the `clone` method is platform dependent.

   returns

     a copy of the receiver object.

6.  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.

7.  def equals(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

   The equality method for reference types.

   The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to `eq`.

   See also `equals` in scala.Any.

   returns

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

   Definition Classes
     AnyRef → Any
8.  def finalize(): Unit

   Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

   Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

   The details of when and if the `finalize` method is invoked, as well as the interaction between `finalize` and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

11.  final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object has the same erasure as `T0`.

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object has the same erasure as `T0`.

    Depending on what `T0` is, the test is done in one of the below ways:

    - `T0` is a non-parameterized class type, e.g. `BigDecimal`: this method returns `true` if the value of the receiver object is a `BigDecimal` or a subtype of `BigDecimal`.
    - `T0` is a parameterized class type, e.g. `List[Int]`: this method returns `true` if the value of the receiver object is some `List[X]` for any `X`. For example, `List(1, 2, 3).isInstanceOf[List[String]]` will return true.
    - `T0` is some singleton type `x.type` or literal `x`: this method returns `this.eq(x)`. For example, `x.isInstanceOf[1]` is equivalent to `x.eq(1)`
    - `T0` is an intersection `X with Y` or `X & Y: this method is equivalent to` x.isInstanceOf[X] && x.isInstanceOf[Y]``
    - `T0` is a union `X | Y`: this method is equivalent to `x.isInstanceOf[X] || x.isInstanceOf[Y]`
    - `T0` is a type parameter or an abstract type member: this method is equivalent to `isInstanceOf[U]` where `U` is `T0`'s upper bound, `Any` if `T0` is unbounded. For example, `x.isInstanceOf[A]` where `A` is an unbounded type parameter will return true for any value of `x`.

    This is exactly equivalent to the type pattern `_: T0`

    returns

      `true` if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type `T0`; `false` otherwise.

    Definition Classes
      Any
    Note

      due to the unexpectedness of `List(1, 2, 3).isInstanceOf[List[String]]` returning true and `x.isInstanceOf[A]` where `A` is a type parameter or abstract member returning true, these forms issue a warning.

12.  final def ne(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Equivalent to `!(this eq that)`.

    Equivalent to `!(this eq that)`.

    returns

      `true` if the argument is not a reference to the receiver object; `false` otherwise.
