[use case] Returns a new sequence containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand.
Returns a new sequence containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand. The element type of the sequence is the most specific superclass encompassing the element types of the two operands.

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.

is found.

result class That

Note that :-ending operators are right associative (see example).
A mnemonic for +:
vs. :+
is: the COLon goes on the COLlection side.
Also, the original sequence is not modified, so you will want to capture the result.
Example:

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 has similar
semantics, but does not require the result to be a supertype of the
element type. It traverses the elements in different partitions
sequentially, using seqop
to update the result, and then applies
combop
to results from different partitions. The implementation of
this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection
partitions, so combop
may be invoked an arbitrary number of times.
For example, one might want to process some elements and then produce
a Set
. In this case, seqop
would process an element and append it
to the list, while combop
would concatenate two lists from different
partitions together. The initial value z
would be an empty set.
pc.aggregate(Set[Int]())(_ += process(_), _ ++ _)
Another example is calculating geometric mean from a collection of doubles (one would typically require big doubles for this).

will typically be the neutral element for the seqop
operator (e.g.
Nil

for summation)

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 a parallel implementation of this collection.
Returns a parallel implementation of this collection.
For most collection types, this method creates a new parallel collection by copying
all the elements. For these collection, par
takes linear time. Mutable collections
in this category do not produce a mutable parallel collection that has the same
underlying dataset, so changes in one collection will not be reflected in the other one.
Specific collections (e.g. ParArray
or mutable.ParHashMap
) override this default
behaviour by creating a parallel collection which shares the same underlying dataset.
For these collections, par
takes constant or sublinear time.

Sequences are special cases of iterable collections of class
Iterable
. Unlike iterables, sequences always have a defined order of elements. Sequences provide a methodapply
for indexing. Indices range from0
up to thelength
of a sequence. Sequences support a number of methods to find occurrences of elements or subsequences, includingsegmentLength
,prefixLength
,indexWhere
,indexOf
,lastIndexWhere

,startsWith
,endsWith
,indexOfSlice

values to the element type of the sequence. TheisDefinedAt
method of a sequence returnstrue
for the interval from0
untillength
.Sequences can be accessed in reverse order of their elements, using methods
reverse
andreverseIterator
.Sequences have two principal subtraits,
IndexedSeq
andLinearSeq
, which give different guarantees for performance. AnIndexedSeq
provides fast random-access of elements and a fastlength
operation. ALinearSeq
provides fast access only to the first element viahead
, but also has a fasttail
operation.
