Test two objects for inequality.
true
if !(this == that), false otherwise.
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
.
a hash value consistent with ==
Test two objects for equality. The expression x == that
is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that)
.
true
if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false
otherwise.
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.
the receiver object.
ClassCastException
if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0
.
Compares the receiver object (this
) with the argument object (that
) for equivalence.
Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:
x
of type Any
, x.equals(x)
should return true
.It is symmetric: for any instances x
and y
of type Any
, x.equals(y)
should return true
if and only if y.equals(x)
returns true
.It is transitive: for any instances x
, y
, and z
of type Any
if x.equals(y)
returns true
and y.equals(z)
returns true
, then x.equals(z)
should return true
. If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode
to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2)
returns true
) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)
).
true
if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false
otherwise.
Returns string formatted according to given format
string. Format strings are as for String.format
(@see java.lang.String.format).
Returns the runtime class representation of the object.
a class object corresponding to the runtime type of the receiver.
Calculate a hash code value for the object.
The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.
Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)
) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2)
returns false
). A degenerate implementation could always return 0
. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2)
returns true
) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)
). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals
method.
the hash code value for this object.
Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0
.
Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String]
will return false
, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]]
will return true
. 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 specified type.
true
if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0
; false
otherwise.
Returns a string representation of the object.
The default representation is platform dependent.

AnyVal
is the root class of all value types, which describe values not implemented as objects in the underlying host system. Value classes are specified in Scala Language Specification, section 12.2.The standard implementation includes nine
AnyVal
subtypes:scala.Double, scala.Float, scala.Long, scala.Int, scala.Char, scala.Short, and scala.Byte are the numeric value types.
scala.Unit and scala.Boolean are the non-numeric value types.
Other groupings:
Prior to Scala 2.10,
AnyVal
was a sealed trait. Beginning with Scala 2.10, however, it is possible to define a subclass ofAnyVal
called a user-defined value class which is treated specially by the compiler. Properly-defined user value classes provide a way to improve performance on user-defined types by avoiding object allocation at runtime, and by replacing virtual method invocations with static method invocations.User-defined value classes which avoid object allocation...

It's important to note that user-defined value classes are limited, and in some circumstances, still must allocate a value class instance at runtime. These limitations and circumstances are explained in greater detail in the Value Classes and Universal Traits.
