# Stream

#### abstract class Stream[+A] extends AbstractSeq[A] with LinearSeq[A] with GenericTraversableTemplate[A, Stream] with LinearSeqOptimized[A, Stream[A]]

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.

    // 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 deinfed `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)
    }

A

   Create a new stream which contains all elements of this stream followed by all elements of Traversable `that`.

   B

     The element type of the returned collection.That

   That

     the class of the returned collection. Where possible, `That` is the same class as the current collection class `Repr`, but this depends on the element type `B` being admissible for that class, which means that an implicit instance of type `CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That]` is found.

   that

     The scala.collection.GenTraversableOnce the be contatenated to this `Stream`.

   bf

     an implicit value of class `CanBuildFrom` which determines the result class `That` from the current representation type `Repr` and the new element type `B`.

   returns

     A new collection containing the result of concatenating `this` with `that`.

   Definition Classes
     Stream → TraversableLike → GenTraversableLike
   Note

     This method doesn't cause the `Stream` to be fully realized but it should be noted that using the `++` operator from another collection type could cause infinite realization of a `Stream`. For example, referring to the definition of `fibs` in the preamble, the following would never return: `List(BigInt(12)) ++ fibs`.

     ,

     It's subtle why this works. We know that if the target type of the scala.collection.mutable.Builder `That` is either a `Stream`, or one of its supertypes, or undefined, then `StreamBuilder` will be chosen for the implicit. We recognize that fact and optimize to get more laziness.

6. #### def ++:[B >: A, That](that: collection.Traversable[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[Stream[A], B, That]): That

   As with `++`, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.

   As with `++`, returns a new collection containing the elements from the left operand followed by the elements from the right operand.

   It differs from `++` in that the right operand determines the type of the resulting collection rather than the left one. Mnemonic: the COLon is on the side of the new COLlection type.

   Example:

       scala> val x = List(1)
       x: List[Int] = List(1)

       scala> val y = LinkedList(2)
       y: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(2)

       scala> val z = x ++: y
       z: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)

   This overload exists because: for the implementation of `++:` we should reuse that of `++` because many collections override it with more efficient versions.

   Since `TraversableOnce` has no `++` method, we have to implement that directly, but `Traversable` and down can use the overload.

   B

     the element type of the returned collection.

   That

     the class of the returned collection. Where possible, `That` is the same class as the current collection class `Repr`, but this depends on the element type `B` being admissible for that class, which means that an implicit instance of type `CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That]` is found.

   that

     the traversable to append.

   bf

     an implicit value of class `CanBuildFrom` which determines the result class `That` from the current representation type `Repr` and the new element type `B`.

   returns

     a new collection of type `That` which contains all elements of this stream followed by all elements of `that`.

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

    Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

    Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

    This is a more general form of `fold` and `reduce`. It has similar semantics, but does not require the result to be a supertype of the element type. It traverses the elements in different partitions sequentially, using `seqop` to update the result, and then applies `combop` to results from different partitions. The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions, so `combop` may be invoked an arbitrary number of times.

    For example, one might want to process some elements and then produce a `Set`. In this case, `seqop` would process an element and append it to the list, while `combop` would concatenate two lists from different partitions together. The initial value `z` would be an empty set.

        pc.aggregate(Set[Int]())(_ += process(_), _ ++ _)

    Another example is calculating geometric mean from a collection of doubles (one would typically require big doubles for this).

    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)

    seqop

      an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

22. #### 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 compiler generates `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.

    x

      the function argument

    default

    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 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.

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) 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`).

120. #### def par: ParSeq[A]

     Returns a parallel implementation of this collection.

     Returns a parallel implementation of this collection.

     For most collection types, this method creates a new parallel collection by copying all the elements. For these collection, `par` takes linear time. Mutable collections in this category do not produce a mutable parallel collection that has the same underlying dataset, so changes in one collection will not be reflected in the other one.

     Specific collections (e.g. `ParArray` or `mutable.ParHashMap`) override this default behaviour by creating a parallel collection which shares the same underlying dataset. For these collections, `par` takes constant or sublinear time.

     All parallel collections return a reference to themselves.

196. #### def zipWithIndex[A1 >: A, That](implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[Stream[A], (A1, Int), That]): That

     Zips this iterable with its indices.

     Zips this iterable with its indices. `s.zipWithIndex` is equivalent to `s zip s.indices`.

     This method is much like `zip` in that it returns a single lazy `Stream` of scala.Tuple2.

     A1

       The type of the first element of the scala.Tuple2 in the resulting stream.

     That

       The type of the resulting `Stream`.

     bf

       an implicit value of class `CanBuildFrom` which determines the result class `That` from the current representation type `Repr` and the new element type `(A1, Int)`.

     returns

       `Stream({a0,0}, ..., {an,n)}`
