Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.
Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.
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.
For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a
NullPointerException.

The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

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

The eq method implements an equivalence relation on
non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:
x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of
x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.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).

Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the

Creates a String representation of this object.
Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.

Prepares for the execution of a task.
Prepares for the execution of a task. Returns the prepared
execution context. The recommended implementation of
prepare is to return this.
This method should no longer be overridden or called. It was
originally expected that prepare would be called by
all libraries that consume ExecutionContexts, in order to
capture thread local context. However, this usage has proven
difficult to implement in practice and instead it is
now better to avoid using prepare entirely.
Instead, if an ExecutionContext needs to capture thread
local context, it should capture that context when it is
constructed, so that it doesn't need any additional
preparation later.
(Since version 2.12) Preparation of ExecutionContexts will be removed.
An
ExecutionContextcan execute program logic asynchronously, typically but not necessarily on a thread pool.A general purpose
ExecutionContextmust be asynchronous in executing anyRunnablethat is passed into itsexecute-method. A special purposeExecutionContextmay be synchronous but must only be passed to code that is explicitly safe to be run using a synchronously executingExecutionContext.APIs such as
Future.onCompleterequire you to provide a callback and an implicitExecutionContext. The implicitExecutionContextwill be used to execute the callback.It is possible to simply import
scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.globalto obtain an implicitExecutionContext. This global context is a reasonable default thread pool.However, application developers should carefully consider where they want to set policy; ideally, one place per application (or per logically-related section of code) will make a decision about which
ExecutionContextto use. That is, you might want to avoid hardcodingscala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.globalall over the place in your code. One approach is to add(implicit ec: ExecutionContext)to methods which need anExecutionContext. Then import a specific context in one place for the entire application or module, passing it implicitly to individual methods.A custom
ExecutionContextmay be appropriate to execute code which blocks on IO or performs long-running computations.ExecutionContext.fromExecutorServiceandExecutionContext.fromExecutorare good ways to create a customExecutionContext.The intent of
ExecutionContextis to lexically scope code execution. That is, each method, class, file, package, or application determines how to run its own code. This avoids issues such as running application callbacks on a thread pool belonging to a networking library. The size of a networking library's thread pool can be safely configured, knowing that only that library's network operations will be affected. Application callback execution can be configured separately.
