final def ##(): Int

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.

final def asInstanceOf[T0]: 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

Exceptions thrown

ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.

def canEqual(that: Any): Boolean

A method that should be called from every well-designed equals method that is open to be overridden in a subclass. See Programming in Scala, Chapter 28 for discussion and design.

that

returns

true if this instance can possibly equal that, otherwise false

SetEquals

def className: String

Defines the prefix of this object's toString representation.

It is recommended to return the name of the concrete collection type, but not implementation subclasses. For example, for ListMap this method should return "ListMap", not "Map" (the supertype) or "Node" (an implementation subclass).

The default implementation returns "Iterable". It is overridden for the basic collection kinds "Seq", "IndexedSeq", "LinearSeq", "Buffer", "Set", "Map", "SortedSet", "SortedMap" and "View".

returns

a string representation which starts the result of toString applied to this iterable collection. By default the string prefix is the simple name of the collection class iterable collection.

final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

Tests whether the argument (that) 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.

def flatMap[B](f: (A) => IterableOnce[B]): Set[B]

Builds a new iterable collection by applying a function to all elements of this iterable collection and using the elements of the resulting collections.

For example:

def getWords(lines: Seq[String]): Seq[String] = lines flatMap (line => line split "\\W+")

The type of the resulting collection is guided by the static type of iterable collection. This might cause unexpected results sometimes. For example:

// lettersOf will return a Seq[Char] of likely repeated letters, instead of a Set
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words flatMap (word => word.toSet)

// lettersOf will return a Set[Char], not a Seq
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words.toSet flatMap ((word: String) => word.toSeq)

// xs will be an Iterable[Int]
val xs = Map("a" -> List(11,111), "b" -> List(22,222)).flatMap(_._2)

// ys will be a Map[Int, Int]
val ys = Map("a" -> List(1 -> 11,1 -> 111), "b" -> List(2 -> 22,2 -> 222)).flatMap(_._2)
B

the element type of the returned collection.

f

def flatten[B](implicit asIterable: (A) => IterableOnce[B]): Set[B]

Converts this iterable collection of traversable collections into a iterable collection formed by the elements of these traversable collections.

The resulting collection's type will be guided by the type of iterable collection. For example:

val xs = List(
           Set(1, 2, 3),
           Set(1, 2, 3)
         ).flatten

def fold[A1 >: A](z: A1)(op: (A1, A1) => A1): A1

Folds the elements of this collection using the specified associative binary operator. The default implementation in IterableOnce is equivalent to foldLeft but may be overridden for more efficient traversal orders.

The order in which operations are performed on elements is unspecified and may be nondeterministic.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

A1

a type parameter for the binary operator, a supertype of A.

z

a neutral element for the fold operation; may be added to the result an arbitrary number of times, and must not change the result (e.g., Nil for list concatenation, 0 for addition, or 1 for multiplication).

op

a binary operator that must be associative.

returns

Note

When implementing a custom collection type and refining C to the new type, this method needs to be overridden (the compiler will issue an error otherwise). In the common case where C =:= CC[A], this can be done by mixing in the IterableFactoryDefaults trait, which implements the method using iterableFactory.

,

As witnessed by the @uncheckedVariance annotation, using this method might be unsound. However, as long as it is called with an Iterable[A] obtained from this collection (as it is the case in the implementations of operations where we use a View[A]), it is safe.

def inits: Iterator[Set[A]]

Iterates over the inits of this iterable collection. The first value will be this iterable collection and the final one will be an empty iterable collection, with the intervening values the results of successive applications of init.

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

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.

def lazyZip[B](that: collection.Iterable[B]): LazyZip2[A, B, Set.this.type]

Analogous to zip except that the elements in each collection are not consumed until a strict operation is invoked on the returned LazyZip2 decorator.

Calls to lazyZip can be chained to support higher arities (up to 4) without incurring the expense of constructing and deconstructing intermediary tuples.

val xs = List(1, 2, 3)
val res = (xs lazyZip xs lazyZip xs lazyZip xs).map((a, b, c, d) => a + b + c + d)

def partition(p: (A) => Boolean): (Set[A], Set[A])

A pair of, first, all elements that satisfy predicate p and, second, all elements that do not. Interesting because it splits a collection in two.

The Stepper enables creating a Java stream to operate on the collection, see scala.jdk.StreamConverters. For collections holding primitive values, the Stepper can be used as an iterator which doesn't box the elements.

val xs = List(
           Set(1, 2, 3),
           Set(4, 5, 6)).transpose
// xs == List(
//         List(1, 4),
//         List(2, 5),
//         List(3, 6))

val ys = Vector(
           List(1, 2, 3),
           List(4, 5, 6)).transpose
// ys == Vector(
//         Vector(1, 4),
//         Vector(2, 5),
//         Vector(3, 6))

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.

B

the type of the elements of each iterable collection.

asIterable

an implicit conversion which asserts that the element type of this iterable collection is an Iterable.

returns

a two-dimensional iterable collection of iterable collections which has as nth row the nth column of this iterable collection.

def unzip[A1, A2](implicit asPair: (A) => (A1, A2)): (Set[A1], Set[A2])

Converts this iterable collection of pairs into two collections of the first and second half of each pair.

val xs = Iterable(
           (1, "one"),
           (2, "two"),
           (3, "three")).unzip
// xs == (Iterable(1, 2, 3),
//        Iterable(one, two, three))
A1

the type of the first half of the element pairs

A2

the type of the second half of the element pairs

asPair

an implicit conversion which asserts that the element type of this iterable collection is a pair.

returns

a pair of iterable collections, containing the first, respectively second half of each element pair of this iterable collection.

def unzip3[A1, A2, A3](implicit asTriple: (A) => (A1, A2, A3)): (Set[A1], Set[A2], Set[A3])

Converts this iterable collection of triples into three collections of the first, second, and third element of each triple.

val xs = Iterable(
           (1, "one", '1'),
           (2, "two", '2'),
           (3, "three", '3')).unzip3
// xs == (Iterable(1, 2, 3),
//        Iterable(one, two, three),
//        Iterable(1, 2, 3))
A1

the type of the first member of the element triples

A2

the type of the second member of the element triples

A3

the type of the third member of the element triples

asTriple

an implicit conversion which asserts that the element type of this iterable collection is a triple.

returns

def withFilter(p: (A) => Boolean): WithFilter[A, [_]Set[_]]

Creates a non-strict filter of this iterable collection.

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

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

p

the predicate used to test elements.

returns

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

def zip[B](that: IterableOnce[B]): Set[(A, B)]

Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection 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 iterable collection containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this iterable collection and that. The length of the returned collection is the minimum of the lengths of this iterable collection and that.

def zipAll[A1 >: A, B](that: collection.Iterable[B], thisElem: A1, thatElem: B): Set[(A1, B)]

Returns a iterable collection formed from this iterable collection 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 iterable collection is shorter than that.

thatElem

the element to be used to fill up the result if that is shorter than this iterable collection.

returns

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

def zipWithIndex: Set[(A, Int)]

Zips this iterable collection with its indices.

returns

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

Example:

    List("a", "b", "c").zipWithIndex == List(("a", 0), ("b", 1), ("c", 2))

Note

Reuse: After calling this method, one should discard the iterator it was called on, and use only the iterator that was returned. Using the old iterator is undefined, subject to change, and may result in changes to the new iterator as well.
