Scala Collections - flatMap
Scala Collections - FlatMap Method
flatMap() method is method of TraversableLike trait, it takes a predicate, apppes it to each element of the collection and returns a new collection of elements returned by the predicate.
Syntax
The following is the syntax of flatMap method.
def flatMap[B](f: (A) ? GenTraversableOnce[B]): TraversableOnce[B]
Here, f: (A) ? GenTraversableOnce[B] is a predicate or condition to be appped on each element of the collection. This method returns the Option element containing the matched element of iterator which satisfiles the given condition.
Usage
Below is an example program of showing how to use flatMap method −
Example
object Demo {
def main(args: Array[String]) = {
val pst = List(1, 5, 10)
//apply operation
val result = pst.flatMap{x => List(x,x+1)}
//print result
println(result)
}
}
Save the above program in Demo.scala. The following commands are used to compile and execute this program.
Command
>scalac Demo.scala >scala Demo
Output
List(1, 2, 5, 6, 10, 11)Advertisements
