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.

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

Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).
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).
true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.
Note: testing for erasure here is important, as it is many times faster than <:< and rules out most comparisons.
Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as
well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns
and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

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.

A ClassTag[T] can serve as an extractor that matches only objects of type T.
A ClassTag[T] can serve as an extractor that matches only objects of type T.
The compiler tries to turn unchecked type tests in pattern matches into checked ones
by wrapping a (_: T) type pattern as ct(_: T), where ct is the ClassTag[T] instance.
Type tests necessary before calling other extractors are treated similarly.
SomeExtractor(...) is turned into ct(SomeExtractor(...)) if T in SomeExtractor.unapply(x: T)
is uncheckable, but we have an instance of ClassTag[T].

Manifest[T]is an opaque descriptor for type T. Its supported use is to give access to the erasure of the type as aClassinstance, as is necessary for the creation of nativeArraysif the class is not known at compile time.The type-relation operators
<:<and=:=should be considered approximations only, as there are numerous aspects of type conformance which are not yet adequately represented in manifests.Example usages:
