x.hashCodeexcept for boxed numeric types andnull. 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.

- final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0
Cast the receiver object to be of type
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 aClassCastExceptionat runtime, while the expressionList(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
the receiver object.

- def clone(): AnyRef
Create a copy of the receiver object.

- final val defaultReporter: (Throwable) => Unit

Throwableto System.err.The default reporter simply prints the stack trace of the

- final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean
Tests whether the argument (
that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).Tests whether the argument (
that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).The
eqmethod implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances ofAnyRef, and has three additional properties:- It is consistent: for any non-null instances
xandyof typeAnyRef, multiple invocations ofx.eq(y)consistently returnstrueor consistently returnsfalse. - For any non-null instance
xof typeAnyRef,x.eq(null)andnull.eq(x)returnsfalse. null.eq(null)returnstrue.
When overriding the
equalsorhashCodemethods, 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
trueif the argument is a reference to the receiver object;falseotherwise.

- final lazy val global: ExecutionContextExecutor
The global ExecutionContext.
The global ExecutionContext. This default
ExecutionContextimplementation is backed by a work-stealing thread pool. It can be configured via the following system properties:scala.concurrent.context.minThreads= defaults to "1"scala.concurrent.context.numThreads= defaults to "x1" (i.e. the current number of available processors * 1)scala.concurrent.context.maxThreads= defaults to "x1" (i.e. the current number of available processors * 1)scala.concurrent.context.maxExtraThreads= defaults to "256"
The pool size of threads is then
numThreadsbounded byminThreadson the lower end andmaxThreadson the high end.The
maxExtraThreadsis the maximum number of extra threads to have at any given time to evade deadlock, see scala.concurrent.blocking.The
globalexecution context can be used explicitly, by defining animplicit val ec: scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext = scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.global, or by importing ExecutionContext.Implicits.global.Batching short-lived nested tasks
Asynchronous code with short-lived nested tasks is executed more efficiently when using
ExecutionContext.opportunistic(continue reading to learn why it isprivate[scala]and how to access it).ExecutionContext.opportunisticuses the same thread pool asExecutionContext.global. It attempts to batch nested task and execute them on the same thread as the enclosing task. This is ideally suited to execute short-lived tasks as it reduces the overhead of context switching.WARNING: long-running and/or blocking tasks should be demarcated within scala.concurrent.blocking-blocks to ensure that any pending tasks in the current batch can be executed by another thread on
global.How to use
This field is
private[scala]to maintain binary compatibility. It was added in 2.13.4, code that references it directly fails to run with a 2.13.0-3 Scala library.Libraries should not reference this field directly because users of the library might be using an earlier Scala version. In order to use the batching
ExecutionContextin a library, the code needs to fall back toglobalin case theopportunisticfield is missing (example below). The resultingExecutionContexthas batching behavior in all Scala 2.13 versions (globalis batching in 2.13.0-3).implicit val ec: scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext = try { scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.getClass .getDeclaredMethod("opportunistic") .invoke(scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext) .asInstanceOf[scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext] } catch { case _: NoSuchMethodException => scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.global }
Application authors can safely use the field because the Scala version at run time is the same as at compile time. Options to bypass the access restriction include:
- Using a structural type (example below). This uses reflection at run time.
- Writing a Scala
objectin thescalapackage (example below). - Writing a Java source file. This works because
private[scala]is emitted aspublicin Java bytecode.
// Option 1 implicit val ec: scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext = (scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext: {def opportunistic: scala.concurrent.ExecutionContextExecutor} ).opportunistic // Option 2 package scala { object OpportunisticEC { implicit val ec: scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext = scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.opportunistic } }
- returns
the global ExecutionContext
- def hashCode(): Int
The hashCode method for reference types.
- final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean
Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object has the same erasure as
T0.Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object has the same erasure as
T0.Depending on what
T0is, the test is done in one of the below ways:T0is a non-parameterized class type, e.g.BigDecimal: this method returnstrueif the value of the receiver object is aBigDecimalor a subtype ofBigDecimal.T0is a parameterized class type, e.g.List[Int]: this method returnstrueif the value of the receiver object is someList[X]for anyX. For example,List(1, 2, 3).isInstanceOf[List[String]]will return true.T0is some singleton typex.typeor literalx: this method returnsthis.eq(x). For example,x.isInstanceOf[1]is equivalent tox.eq(1)T0is an intersectionX with YorX & Y: this method is equivalent tox.isInstanceOf[X] && x.isInstanceOf[Y]T0is a unionX | Y: this method is equivalent tox.isInstanceOf[X] || x.isInstanceOf[Y]T0is a type parameter or an abstract type member: this method is equivalent toisInstanceOf[U]whereUisT0's upper bound,AnyifT0is unbounded. For example,x.isInstanceOf[A]whereAis an unbounded type parameter will return true for any value ofx.
This is exactly equivalent to the type pattern
_: T0- returns
trueif the receiver object is an instance of erasure of typeT0;falseotherwise.

due to the unexpectedness of
List(1, 2, 3).isInstanceOf[List[String]]returning true andx.isInstanceOf[A]whereAis a type parameter or abstract member returning true, these forms issue a warning.

Package structure
The scala package contains core types like
Int,Float,ArrayorOptionwhich are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.Notable packages include:
scala.collectionand its sub-packages contain Scala's collections frameworkscala.collection.immutable- Immutable, sequential data-structures such asVector,List,Range,HashMaporHashSetscala.collection.mutable- Mutable, sequential data-structures such asArrayBuffer,StringBuilder,HashMaporHashSetscala.collection.concurrent- Mutable, concurrent data-structures such asTrieMapscala.concurrent- Primitives for concurrent programming such asFuturesandPromisesscala.io- Input and output operationsscala.math- Basic math functions and additional numeric types likeBigIntandBigDecimalscala.sys- Interaction with other processes and the operating systemscala.util.matching- Regular expressionsOther packages exist. See the complete list on the right.
Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:
scala.reflect- Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)scala.xml- XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)scala.collection.parallel- Parallel collections (scala-parallel-collections.jar)scala.util.parsing- Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)scala.swing- A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)Automatic imports
Identifiers in the scala package and the
scala.Predefobject are always in scope by default.Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example,
Listis an alias forscala.collection.immutable.List.Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM,
Stringis an alias forjava.lang.String.
