  This is the documentation for the Scala standard library.

  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`.

### Type Members

1.  abstract class AbstractBuffer[A] extends AbstractSeq[A] with Buffer[A]

   Explicit instantiation of the `Buffer` trait to reduce class file size in subclasses.

2.  abstract class AbstractIterable[A] extends collection.AbstractIterable[A] with Iterable[A]

   Explicit instantiation of the `Iterable` trait to reduce class file size in subclasses.

3.  abstract class AbstractMap[K, V] extends collection.AbstractMap[K, V] with Map[K, V]

   Explicit instantiation of the `Map` trait to reduce class file size in subclasses.

4.  abstract class AbstractSeq[A] extends collection.AbstractSeq[A] with Seq[A]

   Explicit instantiation of the `Seq` trait to reduce class file size in subclasses.

5.  abstract class AbstractSet[A] extends collection.AbstractSet[A] with Set[A]

   Explicit instantiation of the `Set` trait to reduce class file size in subclasses.

6.  class AnyRefMap[K <: AnyRef, V] extends AbstractMap[K, V] with MapOps[K, V, Map, AnyRefMap[K, V]] with StrictOptimizedIterableOps[(K, V), Iterable, AnyRefMap[K, V]] with Serializable

   This class implements mutable maps with `AnyRef` keys based on a hash table with open addressing.

   This class implements mutable maps with `AnyRef` keys based on a hash table with open addressing.

   Basic map operations on single entries, including `contains` and `get`, are typically significantly faster with `AnyRefMap` than HashMap. Note that numbers and characters are not handled specially in AnyRefMap; only plain `equals` and `hashCode` are used in comparisons.

   Methods that traverse or regenerate the map, including `foreach` and `map`, are not in general faster than with `HashMap`. The methods `foreachKey`, `foreachValue`, `mapValuesNow`, and `transformValues` are, however, faster than alternative ways to achieve the same functionality.

   Maps with open addressing may become less efficient at lookup after repeated addition/removal of elements. Although `AnyRefMap` makes a decent attempt to remain efficient regardless, calling `repack` on a map that will no longer have elements removed but will be used heavily may save both time and storage space.

   This map is not intended to contain more than 229 entries (approximately 500 million). The maximum capacity is 230, but performance will degrade rapidly as 230 is approached.

7.  class ArrayBuffer[A] extends AbstractBuffer[A] with IndexedBuffer[A] with IndexedSeqOps[A, ArrayBuffer, ArrayBuffer[A]] with StrictOptimizedSeqOps[A, ArrayBuffer, ArrayBuffer[A]] with IterableFactoryDefaults[A, ArrayBuffer] with DefaultSerializable

    After calling `result()` the behavior of a Builder (which is not also a scala.collection.mutable.ReusableBuilder) is undefined. No further methods should be called. It is common for mutable collections to be their own non-reusable Builder, in which case `result()` simply returns `this`.

    This class implements mutable maps using a hashtable with red-black trees in the buckets for good worst-case performance on hash collisions. An `Ordering` is required for the element type.

    This class implements mutable maps with `Long` keys based on a hash table with open addressing.

    This class implements mutable maps with `Long` keys based on a hash table with open addressing.

    Basic map operations on single entries, including `contains` and `get`, are typically substantially faster with `LongMap` than HashMap. Methods that act on the whole map, including `foreach` and `map` are not in general expected to be faster than with a generic map, save for those that take particular advantage of the internal structure of the map: `foreachKey`, `foreachValue`, `mapValuesNow`, and `transformValues`.

    Maps with open addressing may become less efficient at lookup after repeated addition/removal of elements. Although `LongMap` makes a decent attempt to remain efficient regardless, calling `repack` on a map that will no longer have elements removed but will be used heavily may save both time and storage space.

34.  sealed class PriorityQueue[A] extends AbstractIterable[A] with Iterable[A] with IterableOps[A, Iterable, PriorityQueue[A]] with StrictOptimizedIterableOps[A, Iterable, PriorityQueue[A]] with Builder[A, PriorityQueue[A]] with Cloneable[PriorityQueue[A]] with Growable[A] with Serializable

    This class implements priority queues using a heap.

    This class implements priority queues using a heap. To prioritize elements of type A there must be an implicit Ordering[A] available at creation.

    If multiple elements have the same priority in the ordering of this PriorityQueue, no guarantees are made regarding the order in which elements are returned by `dequeue` or `dequeueAll`. In particular, that means this class does not guarantee first in first out behaviour that may be incorrectly inferred from the Queue part of the name of this class.

    Only the `dequeue` and `dequeueAll` methods will return elements in priority order (while removing elements from the heap). Standard collection methods including `drop`, `iterator`, and `toString` will remove or traverse the heap in whichever order seems most convenient.

    Therefore, printing a `PriorityQueue` will not reveal the priority order of the elements, though the highest-priority element will be printed first. To print the elements in order, one must duplicate the `PriorityQueue` (by using `clone`, for instance) and then dequeue them:

    A

      type of the elements in this priority queue.

    Example:

    1.     val pq = collection.mutable.PriorityQueue(1, 2, 5, 3, 7)
           println(pq)                  // elements probably not in order
           println(pq.clone.dequeueAll) // prints ArraySeq(7, 5, 3, 2, 1)

    `Queue` objects implement data structures that allow to insert and retrieve elements in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) manner.

36.  trait ReusableBuilder[-Elem, +To] extends Builder[Elem, To]

    `ReusableBuilder` is a marker trait that indicates that a `Builder` can be reused to build more than one instance of a collection.

    `ReusableBuilder` is a marker trait that indicates that a `Builder` can be reused to build more than one instance of a collection. In particular, calling `result()` followed by `clear()` will produce a collection and reset the builder to begin building a new collection of the same type.

    In general no method other than `clear()` may be called after `result()`. It is up to subclasses to implement and to document other allowed sequences of operations (e.g. calling other methods after `result()` in order to obtain different snapshots of a collection under construction).

    Elem

    To

    A buffer that stores elements in an unrolled linked list.

    A buffer that stores elements in an unrolled linked list.

    Unrolled linked lists store elements in linked fixed size arrays.

    Unrolled buffers retain locality and low memory overhead properties of array buffers, but offer much more efficient element addition, since they never reallocate and copy the internal array.

    However, they provide `O(n/m)` complexity random access, where `n` is the number of elements, and `m` the size of internal array chunks.

    Ideal to use when:

    - elements are added to the buffer and then all of the elements are traversed sequentially
    - two unrolled buffers need to be concatenated (see `concat`)

    Better than singly linked lists for random access, but should still be avoided for such a purpose.

     (Since version 2.13.0) Use a scala.collection.mutable.MultiDict in the scala-collection-contrib module

   Example:

   1.     // first import all necessary types from package `collection.mutable`
          import collection.mutable.{ HashMap, MultiMap, Set }

          // to create a `MultiMap` the easiest way is to mixin it into a normal
          // `Map` instance
          val mm = new HashMap[Int, Set[String]] with MultiMap[Int, String]

          // to add key-value pairs to a multimap it is important to use
          // the method `addBinding` because standard methods like `+` will
          // overwrite the complete key-value pair instead of adding the
          // value to the existing key
          mm.addBinding(1, "a")
          mm.addBinding(2, "b")
          mm.addBinding(1, "c")

          // mm now contains `Map(2 -> Set(b), 1 -> Set(c, a))`

          // to check if the multimap contains a value there is method
          // `entryExists`, which allows to traverse the including set
          mm.entryExists(1, _ == "a") == true
          mm.entryExists(1, _ == "b") == false
          mm.entryExists(2, _ == "b") == true

          // to remove a previous added value there is the method `removeBinding`

   A mutable hash map based on an open addressing method.

   A mutable hash map based on an open addressing method. The precise scheme is undefined, but it should make a reasonable effort to ensure that an insert with consecutive hash codes is not unnecessarily penalised. In particular, mappings of consecutive integer keys should work without significant performance loss.

   Key

     type of the keys in this map.

   Value

     type of the values in this map.
