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

  • an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

Abstract Value Members From scala.collection.parallel.Splitter

abstract def split: Seq[Splitter[T]]

Splits the iterator into a sequence of disjunct views.

Returns a sequence of split iterators, each iterating over some subset of the elements in the collection. These subsets are disjoint and should be approximately equal in size. These subsets are not empty, unless the iterator is empty in which case this method returns a sequence with a single empty iterator. If the splitter has more than two elements, this method will return two or more splitters.

Implementors are advised to keep this partition relatively small - two splitters are already enough when partitioning the collection, although there may be a few more.

Note: this method actually invalidates the current splitter.
