AnyVal

sealed trait AnyVal extends Any

AnyVal is the root class of all value types, which describe values not implemented as objects in the underlying host system. The value classes are specified in SLS 12.2.

The standard implementation includes nine AnyVal subtypes:

Double, Float, Long, Int, Char, Short, and Byte are the numeric value types.

Unit and Boolean are the non-numeric value types.

Other groupings:

The subrange types are Byte, Short, and Char. The integer types include the subrange types as well as Int and Long. The floating point types are Float and Double.

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def getClass(): java.lang.Class[_]

    Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

    Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

    returns

    a class object corresponding to the static type of the receiver

Concrete Value Members

  1. final def !=(arg0: Any): Boolean

    Test two objects for inequality.

    Test two objects for inequality.

    returns

    true if !(this == that), false otherwise.

    Any
  2. final def ##(): Int

    Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types.

    Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types. 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.

    returns

    a hash value consistent with ==

    Any
  3. final def ==(arg0: Any): Boolean

    Test two objects for equality.

    Test two objects for equality.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

    Any
  4. 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 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.

    returns

    the receiver object.

    Exceptions thrown
    ClassCastException

    if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.

  5. def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

    Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

    The default implementations of this method is an equivalence relation:

    • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
    • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
    • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

    Any
  6. def hashCode(): Int

    Calculate a hash code value for the object.

    Calculate a hash code value for the object.

    The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

    Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

    returns

    the hash code value for this object.

    Any
  7. final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. 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 specified type.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.

  8. def toString(): String

    Returns a string representation of the object.

    Returns a string representation of the object.
