- io.vavr.collection.List<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Component type of the List

All Implemented Interfaces:

Foldable<T>, LinearSeq<T>, Seq<T>, Traversable<T>, Function1<java.lang.Integer,T>, PartialFunction<java.lang.Integer,T>, Value<T>, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Iterable<T>, java.util.function.Function<java.lang.Integer,T>

Direct Known Subclasses:

```
public abstract class List<T>
extends java.lang.Object
implements LinearSeq<T>
```
An immutable List is an eager sequence of elements. Its immutability makes it suitable for concurrent programming.
A List is composed of a head element and a tail List.
There are two implementations of the List interface:
- List.Nil, which represents the empty List.
- List.Cons, which represents a List containing one or more elements.
A List is a Stack in the sense that it stores elements allowing a last-in-first-out (LIFO) retrieval.
Stack API:
Methods to obtain a List:
```
 
 // factory methods
 List.empty() // = List.of()
 List.of(x) // e.g. List.of(1)
 List.of(Object...) // e.g. List.of(1, 2, 3)
 List.ofAll(Iterable) // e.g. List.ofAll(Stream.of(1, 2, 3)) = 1, 2, 3
 List.ofAll(<primitive array>) // e.g. List.of(new int[] {1, 2, 3}) = 1, 2, 3

 // int sequences
 List.range(0, 3) // = 0, 1, 2
 List.rangeClosed(0, 3) // = 0, 1, 2, 3
 
 
```
Note: A List is primarily a Seq and extends Stack for technical reasons (so Stack does not need to wrap List).
If operating on a List, please prefer
- prepend(Object) over push(Object)
- prependAll(Iterable) over pushAll(Iterable)
- tail() over pop()
- tailOption() over popOption()
Factory method applications:
```
 
 List<Integer> s1 = List.of(1);
 List<Integer> s2 = List.of(1, 2, 3);
 // = List.of(new Integer[] {1, 2, 3});

 List<int[]> s3 = List.ofAll(1, 2, 3);
 List<List<Integer>> s4 = List.ofAll(List.of(1, 2, 3));

 List<Integer> s5 = List.ofAll(1, 2, 3);
 List<Integer> s6 = List.ofAll(List.of(1, 2, 3));

 // cuckoo's egg
 List<Integer[]> s7 = List.<Integer[]> of(new Integer[] {1, 2, 3});
 
 
```
Example: Converting a String to digits
```
 
 // = List(1, 2, 3)
 List.of("123".toCharArray()).map(c -> Character.digit(c, 10))
 
 
```

public final java.util.List<T> asJava()
```
 Description copied from interface: Seq
 Creates an immutable List view on top of this Seq, i.e. calling mutators will result in UnsupportedOperationException at runtime.
 The difference to conversion methods toJava*() is that
 - A view is created in O(1) (constant time) whereas conversion takes O(n) (linear time), with n = collection size.
 - The operations on a view have the same performance characteristics than the underlying persistent Vavr collection whereas the performance characteristics of a converted collection are those of the Java standard collections.
 Please note that our immutable java.util.List view throws UnsupportedOperationException before checking method arguments. Java does handle this case inconsistently.

 A new immutable Collection view on this Traversable.

public final T apply(java.lang.Integer index)
```
 Description copied from interface: Seq
 
 A Seq is a partial function which returns the element at the specified index if the index is valid. It's up to the caller to make sure the index is valid (for instance through isDefinedAt). The behaviour is undefined if the index is out of bounds. It may throw any RuntimeException or return an arbitrary value.

 - grouped
```
public final Iterator<List<T>> grouped(int size)
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 Groups this Traversable into fixed size blocks.
 Let length be the length of this Iterable. Then grouped is defined as follows:
 - If this.isEmpty(), the resulting Iterator is empty.
 - If size <= length, the resulting Iterator will contain length / size blocks of size size and maybe a non-empty block of size length % size, if there are remaining elements.
 - If size > length, the resulting Iterator will contain one block of size length.
 Examples:
```
 
 [].grouped(1) = []
 [].grouped(0) throws
 [].grouped(-1) throws
 [1,2,3,4].grouped(2) = [[1,2],[3,4]]
 [1,2,3,4,5].grouped(2) = [[1,2],[3,4],[5]]
 [1,2,3,4].grouped(5) = [[1,2,3,4]]
 
 
```
 Please note that grouped(int) is a special case of Traversable.sliding(int, int), i.e. grouped(size) is the same as sliding(size, size).

 - slideBy
```
public final Iterator<List<T>> slideBy(java.util.function.Function<? super T,?> classifier)
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 Slides a non-overlapping window of a variable size over this Traversable.
 Each window contains elements with the same class, as determined by classifier. Two consecutive values in this Traversable will be in the same window only if classifier returns equal values for them. Otherwise, the values will constitute the last element of the previous window and the first element of the next window.
 Examples:
```
 [].slideBy(Function.identity()) = []
 [1,2,3,4,4,5].slideBy(Function.identity()) = [[1],[2],[3],[4,4],[5]]
 [1,2,3,10,12,5,7,20,29].slideBy(x -> x/10) = [[1,2,3],[10,12],[5,7],[20,29]]

 Special case: if this traversable is shorter than that elements, and that elements contains duplicates, the resulting traversable may be shorter than the maximum of the lengths of this and that because a traversable contains an element at most once.
 If this Traversable is shorter than that, thisElem values are used to fill the result. If that is shorter than this Traversable, thatElem values are used to fill the result.
