scala.collection.immutable.StreamIterator

final class StreamIterator[+A] extends AbstractIterator[A] with Iterator[A]

A specialized, extra-lazy implementation of a stream iterator, so it can iterate as lazily as it traverses the tail.

Type Members

class GroupedIterator[B >: A] extends AbstractIterator[Seq[B]] with Iterator[Seq[B]]

A flexible iterator for transforming an Iterator[A] into an Iterator[Seq[A]], with configurable sequence size, step, and strategy for dealing with elements which don’t fit evenly.

Typical uses can be achieved via methods grouped and sliding .

def aggregate[B](z: ⇒ B)(seqop: (B, A) ⇒ B, combop: (B, B) ⇒ B): B

Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

This is a more general form of fold and reduce . It is similar to foldLeft in that it doesn’t require the result to be a supertype of the element type. In addition, it allows parallel collections to be processed in chunks, and then combines the intermediate results.

aggregate splits the traversable or iterator into partitions and processes each partition by sequentially applying seqop , starting with z (like foldLeft ). Those intermediate results are then combined by using combop (like fold ). The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions (even 1), so combop may be invoked an arbitrary number of times (even 0).

As an example, consider summing up the integer values of a list of chars. The initial value for the sum is 0. First, seqop transforms each input character to an Int and adds it to the sum (of the partition). Then, combop just needs to sum up the intermediate results of the partitions:

List('a', 'b', 'c').aggregate(0)({ (sum, ch) => sum + ch.toInt }, { (p1, p2) => p1 + p2 })
  • B
    • the type of accumulated results
  • z
    • the initial value for the accumulated result of the partition - this will typically be the neutral element for the seqop operator (e.g. Nil for list concatenation or 0 for summation) and may be evaluated more than once
  • seqop
    • an operator used to accumulate results within a partition
  • combop
    • an associative operator used to combine results from different partitions

/** The class `Stream` implements lazy lists where elements
 *  are only evaluated when they are needed. Here is an example:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  import scala.math.BigInt
 *  object Main extends App {
 *
 *    val fibs: Stream[BigInt] = BigInt(0) #:: BigInt(1) #:: fibs.zip(fibs.tail).map { n => n._1 + n._2 }
 *
 *    fibs take 5 foreach println
 *  }
 *
 *  // prints
 *  //
 *  // 0
 *  // 1
 *  // 1
 *  // 2
 *  // 3
 *  }}}
 *
 *  The `Stream` class also employs memoization such that previously computed
 *  values are converted from `Stream` elements to concrete values of type `A`.
 *  To illustrate, we will alter body of the `fibs` value above and take some
 *  more values:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  import scala.math.BigInt
 *  object Main extends App {
 *
 *    val fibs: Stream[BigInt] = BigInt(0) #:: BigInt(1) #:: fibs.zip(
 *      fibs.tail).map(n => {
 *        println("Adding %d and %d".format(n._1, n._2))
 *        n._1 + n._2
 *      })
 *
 *    fibs take 5 foreach println
 *    fibs take 6 foreach println
 *  }
 *
 *  // prints
 *  //
 *  // 0
 *  // 1
 *  // Adding 0 and 1
 *  // 1
 *  // Adding 1 and 1
 *  // 2
 *  // Adding 1 and 2
 *  // 3
 *
 *  // And then prints
 *  //
 *  // 0
 *  // 1
 *  // 1
 *  // 2
 *  // 3
 *  // Adding 2 and 3
 *  // 5
 *  }}}
 *
 *  There are a number of subtle points to the above example.
 *
 *  - The definition of `fibs` is a `val` not a method.  The memoization of the
 *  `Stream` requires us to have somewhere to store the information and a `val`
 *  allows us to do that.
 *
 *  - While the `Stream` is actually being modified during access, this does not
 *  change the notion of its immutability.  Once the values are memoized they do
 *  not change and values that have yet to be memoized still "exist", they
 *  simply haven't been realized yet.
 *
 *  - One must be cautious of memoization; you can very quickly eat up large
 *  amounts of memory if you're not careful.  The reason for this is that the
 *  memoization of the `Stream` creates a structure much like
 *  [[scala.collection.immutable.List]].  So long as something is holding on to
 *  the head, the head holds on to the tail, and so it continues recursively.
 *  If, on the other hand, there is nothing holding on to the head (e.g. we used
 *  `def` to define the `Stream`) then once it is no longer being used directly,
 *  it disappears.
 *
 *  - Note that some operations, including [[drop]], [[dropWhile]],
 *  [[flatMap]] or [[collect]] may process a large number of intermediate
 *  elements before returning.  These necessarily hold onto the head, since
 *  they are methods on `Stream`, and a stream holds its own head.  For
 *  computations of this sort where memoization is not desired, use
 *  `Iterator` when possible.
 *
 *  {{{
 *  // For example, let's build the natural numbers and do some silly iteration
 *  // over them.
 *
 *  // We'll start with a silly iteration
 *  def loop(s: String, i: Int, iter: Iterator[Int]): Unit = {
 *    // Stop after 200,000
 *    if (i < 200001) {
 *      if (i % 50000 == 0) println(s + i)
 *      loop(s, iter.next, iter)
 *    }
 *  }
 *
 *  // Our first Stream definition will be a val definition
 *  val stream1: Stream[Int] = {
 *    def loop(v: Int): Stream[Int] = v #:: loop(v + 1)
 *    loop(0)
 *  }
 *
 *  // Because stream1 is a val, everything that the iterator produces is held
 *  // by virtue of the fact that the head of the Stream is held in stream1
 *  val it1 = stream1.iterator
 *  loop("Iterator1: ", it1.next, it1)
 *
 *  // We can redefine this Stream such that all we have is the Iterator left
 *  // and allow the Stream to be garbage collected as required.  Using a def
 *  // to provide the Stream ensures that no val is holding onto the head as
 *  // is the case with stream1
 *  def stream2: Stream[Int] = {
 *    def loop(v: Int): Stream[Int] = v #:: loop(v + 1)
 *    loop(0)
 *  }
 *  val it2 = stream2.iterator
 *  loop("Iterator2: ", it2.next, it2)
 *
 *  // And, of course, we don't actually need a Stream at all for such a simple
 *  // problem.  There's no reason to use a Stream if you don't actually need
 *  // one.
 *  val it3 = new Iterator[Int] {
 *    var i = -1
 *    def hasNext = true
 *    def next(): Int = { i += 1; i }
 *  }
 *  loop("Iterator3: ", it3.next, it3)
 *  }}}
 *
 *  - The fact that `tail` works at all is of interest.  In the definition of
 *  `fibs` we have an initial `(0, 1, Stream(...))` so `tail` is deterministic.
 *  If we defined `fibs` such that only `0` were concretely known then the act
 *  of determining `tail` would require the evaluation of `tail` which would
 *  cause an infinite recursion and stack overflow.  If we define a definition
 *  where the tail is not initially computable then we're going to have an
 *  infinite recursion:
 *  {{{
 *  // The first time we try to access the tail we're going to need more
 *  // information which will require us to recurse, which will require us to
 *  // recurse, which...
 *  val sov: Stream[Vector[Int]] = Vector(0) #:: sov.zip(sov.tail).map { n => n._1 ++ n._2 }
 *  }}}
 *
 *  The definition of `fibs` above creates a larger number of objects than
 *  necessary depending on how you might want to implement it.  The following
 *  implementation provides a more "cost effective" implementation due to the
 *  fact that it has a more direct route to the numbers themselves:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  lazy val fib: Stream[Int] = {
 *    def loop(h: Int, n: Int): Stream[Int] = h #:: loop(n, h + n)
 *    loop(1, 1)
 *  }
 *  }}}
 *
 *  Note that `mkString` forces evaluation of a `Stream`, but `addString` does
 *  not.  In both cases, a `Stream` that is or ends in a cycle
 *  (e.g. `lazy val s: Stream[Int] = 0 #:: s`) will convert additional trips
 *  through the cycle to `...`.  Additionally, `addString` will display an
 *  un-memoized tail as `?`.
