scala - Map versus FlatMap on String -


listening collections lecture functional programming principles in scala, saw example:

scala> val s = "hello world"  scala> s.flatmap(c => ("." + c)) // prepend each element period res5: string = .h.e.l.l.o. .w.o.r.l.d

then, curious why mr. odersky didn't use map here. but, when tried map, got different result expected.

scala> s.map(c => ("." + c)) res8: scala.collection.immutable.indexedseq[string] = vector(.h, .e, .l, .l, .o,                                                            ". ", .w, .o, .r, .l,

i expected above call return string, since i'm map-ing, i.e. applying function each item in "sequence," , returning new "sequence."

however, perform map rather flatmap list[string]:

scala> val slist = s.tolist slist: list[char] = list(h, e, l, l, o,  , w, o, r, l, d)  scala> slist.map(c => "." + c) res9: list[string] = list(.h, .e, .l, .l, .o, ". ", .w, .o, .r, .l, .d)

why indexedseq[string] return type of calling map on string?

the reason behavior that, in order apply "map" string, scala treats string sequence of chars (indexedseq[string]). result of map invocation, each element of said sequence, operation applied. since scala treated string sequence apply map, mapreturns.

flatmap invokes flatten on sequence afterwards, "converts" string

php - Add the correct number of days for each month -

using following function can display years , months between 2 dates, how can add correct days each month array within each month? can't add days manually need account leap years etc. function yearmonth($start_date, $end_date) { $begin = new datetime( $start_date ); $end = new datetime( $end_date); $interval = new dateinterval('p1m'); // 1 month interval $period = new dateperiod($begin, $interval, $end); foreach ( $period $dt ) $years[$dt->format( "y" )][] = $dt->format( "f" ); return $years; } $list = yearmonth("2007-03-24", "2009-06-26"); var_dump($list); since nobody else answered: function yearmonth($start_date, $end_date) { $begin = new datetime( $start_date ); $end = new datetime( $end_date); $interval = new dateinterval('p1d'); // 1 month interval $period = new dateperiod($begin, $interval, $end); $lastmonth = null; $lastyear = null; $aresult = array(); forea...

java.util.scanner - How to read and add only numbers to array from a text file -

i'm learning java , have question regarding reading file want read numbers file contains strings well. here example of file: 66.56 "3 java 3-43 5-42 2.1 1 and here coding: public class test { public static void main (string [] args){ if (0 < args.length) { file x = new file(args[0]); try{ scanner in = new scanner( new fileinputstream(x)); arraylist<double> test = new arraylist<>(); while(in.hasnext()){ if(in.hasnextdouble()){ double f=in.nextdouble(); test.add(f);} else {in.next();} } catch(ioexception e) { system.err.println("exception during reading: " + e); } } my problem add 66.56,2.1 , 1 doesn't add 3 after "3 or ignores 3-43 , 5-42 can tell me how skip strings , add doubles here? thanks all said 3 ie; "3, 3-43 , 4-42 strings either u read string , split , check number @ " , - or put in space between characters , integers. jvm after compilation tre...
