Queue

scala.collection.immutable.Queue
See theQueue companion object

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

Queue is implemented as a pair of Lists, one containing the in elements and the other the out elements. Elements are added to the in list and removed from the out list. When the out list runs dry, the queue is pivoted by replacing the out list by in.reverse, and in by Nil.

Adding items to the queue always has cost O(1). Removing items has cost O(1), except in the case where a pivot is required, in which case, a cost of O(n) is incurred, where n is the number of elements in the queue. When this happens, n remove operations with O(1) cost are guaranteed. Removing an item is on average O(1).

def applyOrElse[A1 <: Int, B1 >: A](x: A1, default: A1 => B1): B1

Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain.

Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain. Applies fallback function where this partial function is not defined.

Note that expression pf.applyOrElse(x, default) is equivalent to

if(pf isDefinedAt x) pf(x) else default(x)

except that applyOrElse method can be implemented more efficiently. For all partial function literals the compiler generates an applyOrElse implementation which avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards. This makes applyOrElse the basis for the efficient implementation for many operations and scenarios, such as:

- combining partial functions into orElse/andThen chains does not lead to excessive apply/isDefinedAt evaluation - lift and unlift do not evaluate source functions twice on each invocation - runWith allows efficient imperative-style combining of partial functions with conditionally applied actions

For non-literal partial function classes with nontrivial isDefinedAt method it is recommended to override applyOrElse with custom implementation that avoids double isDefinedAt evaluation. This may result in better performance and more predictable behavior w.r.t. side effects.

Value parameters

default

the fallback function

x

the function argument

Returns

the result of this function or fallback function application.

IterableOnce.scala

Iterates over combinations of elements.

Iterates over combinations of elements.

A combination of length n is a sequence of n elements selected in order of their first index in this sequence.

For example, "xyx" has two combinations of length 2. The x is selected first: "xx", "xy". The sequence "yx" is not returned as a combination because it is subsumed by "xy".

If there is more than one way to generate the same combination, only one will be returned.

For example, the result "xy" arbitrarily selected one of the x elements.

As a further illustration, "xyxx" has three different ways to generate "xy" because there are three elements x to choose from. Moreover, there are three unordered pairs "xx" but only one is returned.

It is not specified which of these equal combinations is returned. It is an implementation detail that should not be relied on. For example, the combination "xx" does not necessarily contain the first x in this sequence. This behavior is observable if the elements compare equal but are not identical.

As a consequence, "xyx".combinations(3).next() is "xxy": the combination does not reflect the order of the original sequence, but the order in which elements were selected, by "first index"; the order of each x element is also arbitrary.

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

Attributes

Returns

An Iterator which traverses the n-element combinations of this sequence.

Example

Seq('a', 'b', 'b', 'b', 'c').combinations(2).foreach(println)
// List(a, b)
// List(a, c)
// List(b, b)
// List(b, c)
Seq('b', 'a', 'b').combinations(2).foreach(println)

override def flatMap[B](f: A => IterableOnce[B]): Queue[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.

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)

Type parameters

B

the element type of the returned collection.

Value parameters

f

Attributes

Returns

a new iterable collection resulting from applying the given collection-valued function f to each element of this iterable collection and concatenating the results.

val ys = Set(
           List(1, 2, 3),
           List(3, 2, 1)

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

Applies the given binary operator op to the given initial value z and all elements of this collection.

Applies the given binary operator op to the given initial value z and all elements of this collection.

For each application of the operator, each operand is either an element of this collection, the initial value, or another such application of the operator.

The order of applications of the operator is unspecified and may be nondeterministic. Each element appears exactly once in the computation. The initial value may be used an arbitrary number of times, but at least once.

If this collection is ordered, then for any application of the operator, the element(s) appearing in the left operand will precede those in the right.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless either of the following conditions is met: (1) the operator is associative, and the underlying collection type is ordered; or (2) the operator is associative and commutative. In either case, it is also necessary that the initial value be a neutral value for the operator, e.g. Nil for List concatenation or 1 for multiplication.

The default implementation in IterableOnce is equivalent to foldLeft but may be overridden for more efficient traversal orders.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Type parameters

A1

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

Value parameters

op

A binary operator; must be associative for the result to always be the same across runs.

z

An initial value; may be used an arbitrary number of times in the computation of the result; must be a neutral value for op for the result to always be the same across runs.

Attributes

Returns

The result of applying op between all the elements and z, or z if this collection is empty.

override def foldLeft[B](z: B)(op: (B, A) => B): B

Applies the given binary operator op to the given initial value z and all elements of this sequence, going left to right.

Applies the given binary operator op to the given initial value z and all elements of this sequence, going left to right. Returns the initial value if this sequence is empty.

"Going left to right" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this sequence, the result is op( op( ... op( op(z, x1), x2) ... ), xn).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each right operand is an element. In addition, the leftmost operand is the initial value, and each other left operand is itself an application of the operator. The elements of this sequence and the initial value all appear exactly once in the computation.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Type parameters

B

The result type of the binary operator.

Value parameters

op

A binary operator.

z

An initial value.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this collection and the given initial value z, going right to left.

Applies the given binary operator op to all elements of this collection and the given initial value z, going right to left. Returns the initial value if this collection is empty.

"Going right to left" only makes sense if this collection is ordered: then if x1, x2, ..., xn are the elements of this collection, the result is op(x1, op(x2, op( ... op(xn, z) ... ))).

If this collection is not ordered, then for each application of the operator, each left operand is an element. In addition, the rightmost operand is the initial value, and each other right operand is itself an application of the operator. The elements of this collection and the initial value all appear exactly once in the computation.

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

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Type parameters

B

protected def fromSpecific(coll: IterableOnce[A]): Queue[A]

Defines how to turn a given Iterable[A] into a collection of type C.

Defines how to turn a given Iterable[A] into a collection of type C.

This process can be done in a strict way or a non-strict way (ie. without evaluating the elements of the resulting collections). In other words, this methods defines the evaluation model of the collection.

Attributes

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 scala.collection.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.

Partitions this iterable collection into a map according to a discriminator function key.

Partitions this iterable collection into a map according to a discriminator function key. All the values that have the same discriminator are then transformed by the f function and then reduced into a single value with the reduce function.

It is equivalent to groupBy(key).mapValues(_.map(f).reduce(reduce)), but more efficient.

override def hashCode(): Int

Calculates a hash code value for the object.

Calculates 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.

Attributes

Returns

the hash code value for this object.
