scala.collection.mutable.GrowingBuilder

class GrowingBuilder[Elem, To <: Growable[Elem]] extends Builder[Elem, To]

The canonical builder for collections that are growable, i.e. that support an efficient += method which adds an element to the collection.

GrowableBuilders can produce only a single instance of the collection they are growing.

Value Members From scala.collection.generic.Growable

def ++=(xs: TraversableOnce[Elem]): GrowingBuilder.this.type

adds all elements produced by a TraversableOnce to this growable collection.

  • xs
    • the TraversableOnce producing the elements to add.
  • returns
    • the growable collection itself.

def +=(elem1: Elem, elem2: Elem, elems: Elem*): GrowingBuilder.this.type

adds two or more elements to this growable collection.

  • elem1
    • the first element to add.
  • elem2
    • the second element to add.
  • elems
    • the remaining elements to add.
  • returns
    • the growable collection itself

def mapResult[NewTo](f: (To) ⇒ NewTo): Builder[Elem, NewTo]

Creates a new builder by applying a transformation function to the results of this builder.

  • NewTo
    • the type of collection returned by f .
  • f
    • the transformation function.
  • returns
    • a new builder which is the same as the current builder except that a transformation function is applied to this builder’s result.

  • Note
    • The original builder should no longer be used after mapResult is called.

def sizeHint(size: Int): Unit

Gives a hint how many elements are expected to be added when the next result is called. Some builder classes will optimize their representation based on the hint. However, builder implementations are still required to work correctly even if the hint is wrong, i.e. a different number of elements is added.

  • size
    • the hint how many elements will be added.

def sizeHint(coll: TraversableLike[_, _]): Unit

Gives a hint that one expects the result of this builder to have the same size as the given collection, plus some delta. This will provide a hint only if the collection is known to have a cheap size method. Currently this is assumed to be the case if and only if the collection is of type IndexedSeqLike . Some builder classes will optimize their representation based on the hint. However, builder implementations are still required to work correctly even if the hint is wrong, i.e. a different number of elements is added.

  • coll
    • the collection which serves as a hint for the result’s size.
  • Definition Classes

def sizeHint(coll: TraversableLike[_, _], delta: Int): Unit

Gives a hint that one expects the result of this builder to have the same size as the given collection, plus some delta. This will provide a hint only if the collection is known to have a cheap size method. Currently this is assumed to be the case if and only if the collection is of type IndexedSeqLike . Some builder classes will optimize their representation based on the hint. However, builder implementations are still required to work correctly even if the hint is wrong, i.e. a different number of elements is added.

  • coll
    • the collection which serves as a hint for the result’s size.
  • delta
    • a correction to add to the coll.size to produce the size hint.

def sizeHintBounded(size: Int, boundingColl: TraversableLike[_, _]): Unit

Gives a hint how many elements are expected to be added when the next result is called, together with an upper bound given by the size of some other collection. Some builder classes will optimize their representation based on the hint. However, builder implementations are still required to work correctly even if the hint is wrong, i.e. a different number of elements is added.

  • size
    • the hint how many elements will be added.
  • boundingColl
    • the bounding collection. If it is an IndexedSeqLike, then sizes larger than collection’s size are reduced.
