#### trait SeqLike[+A, +Repr] extends IterableLike[A, Repr] with GenSeqLike[A, Repr] with Parallelizable[A, ParSeq[A]]

A template trait for sequences of type `Seq[A]`

Sequences are special cases of iterable collections of class `Iterable`. Unlike iterables, sequences always have a defined order of elements. Sequences provide a method `apply` for indexing. Indices range from `0` up to the `length` of a sequence. Sequences support a number of methods to find occurrences of elements or subsequences, including `segmentLength`, `prefixLength`, `indexWhere`, `indexOf`, `lastIndexWhere`, `lastIndexOf`, `startsWith`, `endsWith`, `indexOfSlice`.

Another way to see a sequence is as a `PartialFunction` from `Int` values to the element type of the sequence. The `isDefinedAt` method of a sequence returns `true` for the interval from `0` until `length`.

Sequences can be accessed in reverse order of their elements, using methods `reverse` and `reverseIterator`.

Sequences have two principal subtraits, `IndexedSeq` and `LinearSeq`, which give different guarantees for performance. An `IndexedSeq` provides fast random-access of elements and a fast `length` operation. A `LinearSeq` provides fast access only to the first element via `head`, but also has a fast `tail` operation.

   [use case]

   Returns a new sequence containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand. The element type of the sequence is the most specific superclass encompassing the element types of the two operands.

   Example:

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

       scala> val b = List(2)
       b: List[Int] = List(2)

   #### def ++[B >: A, That](that: GenTraversableOnce[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That]): That

5. #### def ++:[B >: A, That](that: Traversable[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[Repr, 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 and the new element type `B`.

   returns

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

   Definition Classes

6. #### def ++:[B](that: TraversableOnce[B]): Seq[B]

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

   [use case]

   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.

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

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

   B

     the element type of the returned collection.

7. #### def +:(elem: A): Seq[A]

   [use case] A copy of the sequence with an element prepended.

   [use case]

   A copy of the sequence with an element prepended.

   Note that :-ending operators are right associative (see example). A mnemonic for `+:` vs. `:+` is: the COLon goes on the COLlection side.

   Also, the original sequence is not modified, so you will want to capture the result.

   Example:

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

       scala> val y = 2 +: x
       y: List[Int] = List(2, 1)

       scala> println(x)
       List(1)

   elem

     the prepended element

   returns

     a new sequence consisting of `elem` followed by all elements of this sequence.

   Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this traversable or iterator, going left to right.

   Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this traversable or iterator, going left to right.

   Note: `/:` is alternate syntax for `foldLeft`; `z /: xs` is the same as `xs foldLeft z`.

   Examples:

   Note that the folding function used to compute b is equivalent to that used to compute c.

       scala> val a = List(1,2,3,4)
       a: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

       scala> val c = (5 /: a)((x,y) => x + y)
       c: Int = 15

   Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

   Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered or the operator is associative and commutative.

   B

     the result type of the binary operator.

   z

     the start value.

   op

     the binary operator.

   returns

     the result of inserting `op` between consecutive elements of this traversable or iterator, going left to right with the start value `z` on the left:

16. #### 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) and may be evaluated more than once

    seqop

      an operator used to accumulate results within a partition

    combop

17. #### 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.

21. #### def combinations(n: Int): Iterator[Repr]

    Iterates over combinations.

    Iterates over combinations. A _combination_ of length `n` is a subsequence of the original sequence, with the elements taken in order. Thus, `"xy"` and `"yy"` are both length-2 combinations of `"xyy"`, but `"yx"` is not. If there is more than one way to generate the same subsequence, only one will be returned.

    For example, `"xyyy"` has three different ways to generate `"xy"` depending on whether the first, second, or third `"y"` is selected. However, since all are identical, only one will be chosen. Which of the three will be taken is an implementation detail that is not defined.

    returns

      An Iterator which traverses the possible n-element combinations of this sequence.

    Example:

    1. `"abbbc".combinations(2) = Iterator(ab, ac, bb, bc)`

    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.

    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.
