  3. 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 ==

  9. final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    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.

  15. final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    Tests whether the argument (arg0) 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.

  32. def replaceAllIn(target: CharSequence, replacer: (Match) ⇒ String): String

    Replaces all matches using a replacer function.

    Replaces all matches using a replacer function. The replacer function takes a scala.util.matching.Regex.Match so that extra information can be obtained from the match. For example:

    import scala.util.matching.Regex
    val datePattern = new Regex("""(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)""", "year", "month", "day")
    val text = "From 2011-07-15 to 2011-07-17"
    val repl = datePattern replaceAllIn (text, m => m.group("month")+"/"+m.group("day"))

    In the replacement String, a dollar sign ($) followed by a number will be interpreted as a reference to a group in the matched pattern, with numbers 1 through 9 corresponding to the first nine groups, and 0 standing for the whole match. Any other character is an error. The backslash (\) character will be interpreted as an escape character, and can be used to escape the dollar sign. One can use scala.util.matching.Regex's quoteReplacement to automatically escape these characters.

    target

    Replaces some of the matches using a replacer function that returns an scala.Option. The replacer function takes a scala.util.matching.Regex.Match so that extra information can be btained from the match. For example:

    import scala.util.matching.Regex._
    
    val map = Map("x" -> "a var", "y" -> """some $ and \ signs""")
    val text = "A text with variables %x, %y and %z."
    val varPattern = """%(\w+)""".r
    val mapper = (m: Match) => map get (m group 1) map (quoteReplacement(_))
    val repl = varPattern replaceSomeIn (text, mapper)

    In the replacement String, a dollar sign ($) followed by a number will be interpreted as a reference to a group in the matched pattern, with numbers 1 through 9 corresponding to the first nine groups, and 0 standing for the whole match.
