Scala Vector class video
As a brief update, if you prefer videos, here is my Scala Vector class training video.
The Scala Vector class
Use the Vector
class when you want to use a general-purpose, immutable indexed sequence in your Scala applications:
- Immutable: the elements in the collection cannot be changed, and the collection cannot be resized
- Indexed: you can access elements quickly by their element number, such as
people(12345432)
(a linked list would be very slow for this purpose)
Just as the Scala ArrayBuffer
is the recommended “go to” class for mutable indexed sequential collections, the Vector
class is recommended as the general-purpose go-to class for immutable indexed sequential collections. To this point, the Vector class Scaladoc states:
“
Vector
is a general-purpose, immutable data structure. It provides random access and updates in O(log n) time, as well as very fast append/prepend/tail/init (amortized O(1), worst case O(log n)). Because vectors strike a good balance between fast random selections and fast random functional updates, they are currently the default implementation of immutable indexed sequences.”
Notes about the following Vector examples
Remember that Vector
is immutable, so in all of the examples that follow you need to assign the result of each expression to a new variable, like this:
val x = nums.distinct
As a second note, the following examples are demonstrated in a “CRUD+” order, meaning:
- C — Create
- R — Read
- U — Update
- D — Delete
- + — demonstrates many methods available on the Vector class
CREATE: How to create a Vector with initial elements
To create a new Vector
with initial elements:
val nums = Vector(1, 2, 3)
case class Person(name: String)
val people = Vector(
Person("Emily"),
Person("Hannah"),
Person("Mercedes")
)
When you need to be clear about what’s in the vector:
// Example 1:
val x = Vector(1, 1.0, 1F) // Vector[Double] = Vector(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
val x: Vector[Number] = Vector(1, 1.0, 1F) // Vector[Number] = Vector(1, 1.0, 1.0)
// Example 2:
trait Animal
trait HasTail
case class Dog(name: String) extends Animal, HasTail
case class Cat(name: String) extends Animal, HasTail
// be explicit about the type in the Vector:
val animalHouse: Vector[Animal] = Vector(
Dog("Rover"),
Cat("Felix")
)
// RESULT: Vector[Animal] = Vector(Dog(Rover), Cat(Felix))
If you ever need to create an empty vector:
val nums = Vector[Int]()
Remember the constructor syntax is just syntactic sugar for apply
:
val nums = Vector(1, 2, 3) // Vector(1, 2, 3)
val nums = Vector.apply(1, 2, 3) // Vector(1, 2, 3)
CREATE: Create a new Vector by populating it
You can also create a new Vector
that’s populated with initial elements using a Range
:
// to, until
(1 to 5).toVector // Vector(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
(1 until 5).toVector // Vector(1, 2, 3, 4)
(1 to 10 by 2).toVector // Vector(1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
(1 until 10 by 2).toVector // Vector(1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
(1 to 10).by(2).toVector // Vector(1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
('d' to 'h').toVector // Vector(d, e, f, g, h)
('d' until 'h').toVector // Vector(d, e, f, g)
('a' to 'f').by(2).toVector // Vector(a, c, e)
// range method
Vector.range(1, 3) // Vector(1, 2)
Vector.range(1, 6, 2) // Vector(1, 3, 5)
You can also use the fill
and tabulate
methods:
Vector.fill(3)("foo") // Vector(foo, foo, foo)
Vector.tabulate(3)(n => n * n) // Vector(0, 1, 4)
Vector.tabulate(4)(n => n * n) // Vector(0, 1, 4, 9)
READ: How to access Vector elements
As with other Scala sequence classes, you access Vector
elements by their index, inside parentheses:
val names = Vector("bert", "ernie", "oscar") names(0) // "bert" names(1) // "ernie" names(2) // "oscar"
You can also read/access Vector
elements in for
loops and for
expressions, as shown here:
val oneToFive = Vector(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) for (i <- oneToFive) yield i // Vector(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) for (i <- oneToFive) yield i * 2 // Vector(2, 4, 6, 8, 10) for (i <- oneToFive) yield i % 2 // Vector(1, 0, 1, 0, 1)
UPDATE: How to add (append and prepend) elements
Because Vector
is immutable, you can’t add elements to an existing Vector
. The way you work with Vector
is to modify the elements it contains as you assign the results to a new Vector
.
Method | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
:+ |
append 1 item | oldSeq :+ e |
++ |
append N items | oldSeq ++ newSeq |
+: |
prepend 1 item | e +: oldSeq |
++: |
prepend N items | newSeq ++: oldSeq |
Append and prepend examples
These examples show how to use the append and prepend methods:
val v1 = Vector(4,5,6) // Vector(4, 5, 6)
val v2 = v1 :+ 7 // Vector(4, 5, 6, 7)
val v3 = v2 ++ Seq(8,9) // Vector(4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
val v4 = 3 +: v3 // Vector(3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
val v5 = Seq(1,2) ++: v4 // Vector(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
About the :
character in the method names
Note that during these operations the :
character is always next to the old (original) sequence. I use that as a way to remember these methods.
The correct technical way to think about this is that a Scala method name that ends with the :
character is right-associative, meaning that the method comes from the variable on the right side of the expression. Therefore, with +:
and ++:
, these methods comes from the Vector
that’s on the right of the method name.
UPDATE: How to “update” Vector elements using its methods
Because Vector
is immutable, you can’t update elements in place, but depending on your definition of “update,” there are a variety of methods that let you update a Vector
as you assign the result to a new variable:
Method | Returns |
---|---|
collect(pf) |
A new collection by applying the partial function pf to all elements of the vector, returning elements for which the function is defined |
distinct |
A new sequence with no duplicate elements |
flatten |
Transforms a list of lists into a single list |
flatMap(f) |
When working with sequences, it works like map followed by flatten |
map(f) |
Return a new sequence by applying the function f to each element in the Vector |
updated(i,v) |
A new vector with the element at index i replaced with the new value v |
union(s) |
A new vector that contains elements from the current vector and the sequence s |
val x = Vector(Some(1), None, Some(3), None)
x.collect{case Some(i) => i} // Vector(1, 3)
val x = Vector(1,2,1,2)
x.distinct // Vector(1, 2)
x.map(_ * 2) // Vector(2, 4, 2, 4)
x.updated(0,100) // Vector(100, 2, 1, 2)
val a = Vector(Seq(1,2), Seq(3,4))
a.flatten // Vector(1, 2, 3, 4)
val fruits = Vector("apple", "pear")
fruits.map(_.toUpperCase) // Vector(APPLE, PEAR)
fruits.flatMap(_.toUpperCase) // Vector(A, P, P, L, E, P, E, A, R)
Vector(2,4).union(Vector(1,3)) // Vector(2, 4, 1, 3)
DELETE: Filtering methods (how to “remove” elements from an Vector)
A Vector
is an immutable sequence, so you don’t remove elements from a Vector
. Instead, you describe how to remove elements as you assign the results to a new collection. These methods let you “remove” elements during this process:
Method | Description |
---|---|
distinct |
Return a new sequence with no duplicate elements |
drop(n) |
Return all elements after the first n elements |
dropRight(n) |
Return all elements except the last n elements |
dropWhile(p) |
Drop the first sequence of elements that matches the predicate p |
filter(p) |
Return all elements that match the predicate p |
filterNot(p) |
Return all elements that do not match the predicate p |
find(p) |
Return the first element that matches the predicate p |
head |
Return the first element; can throw an exception if the Vector is empty |
headOption |
Returns the first element as an Option |
init |
All elements except the last one |
intersect(s) |
Return the intersection of the vector and another sequence s |
last |
The last element; can throw an exception if the Vector is empty |
lastOption |
The last element as an Option |
slice(f,u) |
A sequence of elements from index f (from) to index u (until) |
tail |
All elements after the first element |
take(n) |
The first n elements |
takeRight(n) |
The last n elements |
takeWhile(p) |
The first subset of elements that matches the predicate p |
Examples
val a = Vector(10, 20, 30, 40, 10) // Vector(10, 20, 30, 40, 10)
a.distinct // Vector(10, 20, 30, 40)
a.drop(2) // Vector(30, 40, 10)
a.dropRight(2) // Vector(10, 20, 30)
a.dropWhile(_ < 25) // Vector(30, 40, 10)
a.filter(_ < 25) // Vector(10, 20, 10)
a.filter(_ > 100) // Vector()
a.filterNot(_ < 25) // Vector(30, 40)
a.find(_ > 20) // Some(30)
a.head // 10
a.headOption // Some(10)
a.init // Vector(10, 20, 30, 40)
a.intersect(Seq(19,20,21)) // Vector(20)
a.last // 10
a.lastOption // Some(10)
a.slice(2,4) // Vector(30, 40)
a.tail // Vector(20, 30, 40, 10)
a.take(3) // Vector(10, 20, 30)
a.takeRight(2) // Vector(40, 10)
a.takeWhile(_ < 30) // Vector(10, 20)
As noted, head
and last
can throw exceptions:
scala> val a = Vector[Int]()
a: scala.collection.immutable.Vector[Int] = Vector()
scala> a.head
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: empty.head
at scala.collection.immutable.Vector.head(Vector.scala:185)
... 28 elided
scala> a.last
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: empty.last
at scala.collection.immutable.Vector.last(Vector.scala:197)
... 28 elided

More information:
Looping over a Vector
with for and foreach
These examples show how to loop/iterate over a vector with for
and foreach
. (As I write in Functional Programming, Simplified, foreach
is only used for side effects, and therefore I rarely use it.)
val oneToFive = Vector(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
for (i <- oneToFive) yield i // Vector(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
for (i <- oneToFive) yield i * 2 // Vector(2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
for (i <- oneToFive) yield i % 2 // Vector(1, 0, 1, 0, 1)
for { // Vector(3, 4, 5)
i <- oneToFive
if i > 2
} yield i
for { // Vector(6, 8, 10)
i <- oneToFive
if i > 2
} yield {
// could be multiple lines here
i * 2
}
// foreach (which i rarely use)
val oneToThree = Vector(1, 2, 3)
oneToThree.foreach(print) // 123
for (i <- oneToThree) print(i) // 123
A few things you can do with a Vector of Options
The Option
type is used a lot in idiomatic Scala code, so here are some ways to work with a Vector
that contains Option
s.
val x = Vector(Some(1), None, Some(3), None)
x.flatten // Vector(1, 3)
x.collect{case Some(i) => i} // Vector(1, 3)
// map, flatten, flatMap
import scala.util.Try
def toInt(s: String): Option[Int] = Try(Integer.parseInt(s)).toOption
val strings = Vector("1", "2", "foo", "3", "bar")
strings.map(toInt) // Vector(Some(1), Some(2), None, Some(3), None)
strings.map(toInt).flatten // Vector(1, 2, 3)
strings.flatMap(toInt) // Vector(1, 2, 3)

Scala Vector summary
I hope these Vector
examples are helpful. Most of these examples will work very similarly with other immutable sequential collections classes like Seq
, IndexedSeq
, LinearSeq
, List
, and more. (Eventually I’ll create dedicated pages for each of those types, and others, such as ArrayBuffer
and ListBuffer
.)
As a final note, if I made a mistake, or you know another way to do something with an Vector
I haven’t shown, leave a note in the Comments section.
