  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`.

# ArrayOps

###
Companion object ArrayOps

#### final class ArrayOps[A] extends AnyVal

This class serves as a wrapper for `Array`s with many of the operations found in indexed sequences. Where needed, instances of arrays are implicitly converted into this class. There is generally no reason to create an instance explicitly or use an `ArrayOps` type. It is better to work with plain `Array` types instead and rely on the implicit conversion to `ArrayOps` when calling a method (which does not actually allocate an instance of `ArrayOps` because it is a value class).

Neither `Array` nor `ArrayOps` are proper collection types (i.e. they do not extend `Iterable` or even `IterableOnce`). `mutable.ArraySeq` and `immutable.ArraySeq` serve this purpose.

The difference between this class and `ArraySeq`s is that calling transformer methods such as `filter` and `map` will yield an array, whereas an `ArraySeq` will remain an `ArraySeq`.

A

  type of the elements contained in this array.

   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`.

17.  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.

    Builds a new array by applying a partial function to all elements of this array on which the function is defined.

    B

      the element type of the returned array.

    pf

      the partial function which filters and maps the array.

    returns

      a new array resulting from applying the given partial function `pf` to each element on which it is defined and collecting the results. The order of the elements is preserved.

19.  def collectFirst[B](pf: PartialFunction[A, B]): Option[B]

    Finds the first element of the array for which the given partial function is defined, and applies the partial function to it.

20.  def combinations(n: Int): Iterator[Array[A]]

    Iterates over combinations of elements.

    Iterates over combinations of elements.

    A combination of length `n` is a sequence of `n` elements selected in order of their first index in this sequence.

    For example, `"xyx"` has two combinations of length 2. The `x` is selected first: `"xx"`, `"xy"`. The sequence `"yx"` is not returned as a combination because it is subsumed by `"xy"`.

    If there is more than one way to generate the same combination, only one will be returned.

    For example, the result `"xy"` arbitrarily selected one of the `x` elements.

    As a further illustration, `"xyxx"` has three different ways to generate `"xy"` because there are three elements `x` to choose from. Moreover, there are three unordered pairs `"xx"` but only one is returned.

    It is not specified which of these equal combinations is returned. It is an implementation detail that should not be relied on. For example, the combination `"xx"` does not necessarily contain the first `x` in this sequence. This behavior is observable if the elements compare equal but are not identical.

    As a consequence, `"xyx".combinations(3).next()` is `"xxy"`: the combination does not reflect the order of the original sequence, but the order in which elements were selected, by "first index"; the order of each `x` element is also arbitrary.

    returns

      An Iterator which traverses the n-element combinations of this array

    Example:

    1.     Array('a', 'b', 'b', 'b', 'c').combinations(2).map(runtime.ScalaRunTime.stringOf).foreach(println)
           // Array(a, b)
           // Array(a, c)
           // Array(b, b)
           // Array(b, c)
           Array('b', 'a', 'b').combinations(2).map(runtime.ScalaRunTime.stringOf).foreach(println)
           // Array(b, b)
           // Array(b, a)

    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.

    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.

117.  def updated[B >: A](index: Int, elem: B)(implicit arg0: ClassTag[B]): Array[B]

     A copy of this array with one single replaced element.

     A copy of this array with one single replaced element.

     index

       the position of the replacement

     elem

       the replacing element

     returns

       a new array which is a copy of this array with the element at position `index` replaced by `elem`.

     Exceptions thrown

       `IndexOutOfBoundsException` if `index` does not satisfy `0 <= index < length`.

     Creates a non-strict filter of this array.

     Creates a non-strict filter of this array.

     Note: the difference between `c filter p` and `c withFilter p` is that the former creates a new array, whereas the latter only restricts the domain of subsequent `map`, `flatMap`, `foreach`, and `withFilter` operations.

     p

       the predicate used to test elements.

     returns

       an object of class `ArrayOps.WithFilter`, which supports `map`, `flatMap`, `foreach`, and `withFilter` operations. All these operations apply to those elements of this array which satisfy the predicate `p`.

120.  def zip[B](that: IterableOnce[B]): Array[(A, B)]

     Returns an array formed from this array and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs.

     Returns an array formed from this array and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is longer than the other, its remaining elements are ignored.

     B

       the type of the second half of the returned pairs

     that

       The iterable providing the second half of each result pair

     returns

       a new array containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this array and `that`. The length of the returned array is the minimum of the lengths of this array and `that`.

121.  def zipAll[A1 >: A, B](that: Iterable[B], thisElem: A1, thatElem: B): Array[(A1, B)]

     Returns an array formed from this array and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs.

     Returns an array formed from this array and another iterable collection by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is shorter than the other, placeholder elements are used to extend the shorter collection to the length of the longer.

     that

       the iterable providing the second half of each result pair

     thisElem

       the element to be used to fill up the result if this array is shorter than `that`.

     thatElem

       the element to be used to fill up the result if `that` is shorter than this array.

     returns

       a new array containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this array and `that`. The length of the returned array is the maximum of the lengths of this array and `that`. If this array is shorter than `that`, `thisElem` values are used to pad the result. If `that` is shorter than this array, `thatElem` values are used to pad the result.

122.  def zipWithIndex: Array[(A, Int)]

     Zips this array with its indices.

     Zips this array with its indices.

     returns

       A new array containing pairs consisting of all elements of this array paired with their index. Indices start at `0`.
