Scala example source code file (StringContext.scala)

This example Scala source code file (StringContext.scala) is included in my "Source Code Warehouse" project. The intent of this project is to help you more easily find Scala source code examples by using tags.

All credit for the original source code belongs to scala-lang.org; I'm just trying to make examples easier to find. (For my Scala work, see my Scala examples and tutorials.)

Scala tags/keywords

any, boolean, char, illegalargumentexception, int, invalidescapeexception, seq, string, stringcontext, unit

/** This class provides the basic mechanism to do String Interpolation.
 * String Interpolation allows users
 * to embed variable references directly in *processed* string literals.
 * Here's an example:
 * {{{
 *   val name = "James"
 *   println(s"Hello, $name")  // Hello, James
 * }}}
 *
 * Any processed string literal is rewritten as an instantiation and
 * method call against this class.   For example:
 * {{{
 *   s"Hello, $name"
 * }}}
 *
 * is rewritten to be:
 *
 * {{{
 *   StringContext("Hello, ", "").s(name)
 * }}}
 *
 * By default, this class provides the `raw`, `s` and `f` methods as
 * available interpolators.
 *
 * To provide your own string interpolator, create an implicit class
 * which adds a method to `StringContext`.  Here's an example:
 * {{{
 *    implicit class JsonHelper(val sc: StringContext) extends AnyVal {
 *      def json(args: Any*): JSONObject = ...
 *    }
 *    val x: JSONObject = json"{ a: $a }"
 * }}}
 *
 *  Here the `JsonHelper` extenion class implicitly adds the `json` method to
 *  `StringContext` which can be used for `json` string literals.
 *
 *  @since 2.10.0
 *  @param   parts  The parts that make up the interpolated string,
 *                  without the expressions that get inserted by interpolation.
 */

   *  of `parts` supplied to the enclosing `StringContext`.
   *  @param `args` The arguments to be checked.
   *  @throws An `IllegalArgumentException` if this is not the case.
   */

  /** The simple string interpolator.
   *
   *  It inserts its arguments between corresponding parts of the string context.
   *  It also treats standard escape sequences as defined in the Scala specification.
   *  Here's an example of usage:
   *  {{{
   *    val name = "James"
   *    println(s"Hello, $name")  // Hello, James
   *  }}}
   *  In this example, the expression $name is replaced with the `toString` of the
   *  variable `name`.
   *  The `s` interpolator can take the `toString` of any arbitrary expression within
   *  a `${}` block, for example:
   *  {{{
   *    println(s"1 + 1 = ${1 + 1}")
   *  }}}
   *  will print the string `1 + 1 = 2`.
   *
   *  @param `args` The arguments to be inserted into the resulting string.
   *  @throws An `IllegalArgumentException`
   *          if the number of `parts` in the enclosing `StringContext` does not exceed
   *          the number of arguments `arg` by exactly 1.
   *  @throws A `StringContext.InvalidEscapeException` if a `parts` string contains a backslash (`\`) character
   *          that does not start a valid escape sequence.

  /** The raw string interpolator.
   *
   *  It inserts its arguments between corresponding parts of the string context.
   *  As opposed to the simple string interpolator `s`, this one does not treat
   *  standard escape sequences as defined in the Scala specification.
   *
   *  For example, the raw processed string `raw"a\nb"` is equal to the scala string `"a\\nb"`.
   *
   *  ''Note:'' Even when using the raw interpolator, Scala will preprocess unicode escapes.
   *  For example:
   *  {{{
   *    scala> raw"\u005cu0025"
   *    res0: String = #
   *  }}}
   *
   *  @param `args` The arguments to be inserted into the resulting string.

   *          if the number of `parts` in the enclosing `StringContext` does not exceed
   *          the number of arguments `arg` by exactly 1.

   *          that does not start a valid escape sequence.

  /** The formatted string interpolator.
   *
   *  It inserts its arguments between corresponding parts of the string context.
   *  It also treats standard escape sequences as defined in the Scala specification.
   *  Finally, if an interpolated expression is followed by a `parts` string
   *  that starts with a formatting specifier, the expression is formatted according to that
   *  specifier. All specifiers allowed in Java format strings are handled, and in the same
   *  way they are treated in Java.
   *
   *  For example:
   *  {{{
   *    val height = 1.9d
   *    val name = "James"
   *    println(f"$name%s is $height%2.2f meters tall")  // James is 1.90 meters tall
   *  }}}
   *
   *  @param `args` The arguments to be inserted into the resulting string.
   *  @throws An `IllegalArgumentException`
   *          if the number of `parts` in the enclosing `StringContext` does not exceed
   *          the number of arguments `arg` by exactly 1.
   *  @throws A `StringContext.InvalidEscapeException` if a `parts` string contains a backslash (`\`) character
   *          that does not start a valid escape sequence.
   *
   *  Note: The `f` method works by assembling a format string from all the `parts` strings and using
   *  `java.lang.String.format` to format all arguments with that format string. The format string is
   *  obtained by concatenating all `parts` strings, and performing two transformations:
   *
   *   1. Let a _formatting position_ be a start of any `parts` string except the first one.
   *      If a formatting position does not refer to a `%` character (which is assumed to
   *      start a format specifier), then the string format specifier `%s` is inserted.
   *
   *   2. Any `%` characters not in formatting positions must begin one of the conversions
   *      `%%` (the literal percent) or `%n` (the platform-specific line separator).
