Mutable Collections Operations

  • Mutable collections allow you to add / remove single / multiple items while modifying the collection itself
  • The methods +=, ++=, -=, --= are actually defined in the mutable collections

import scala.collection.mutable

val arrayBuffer = mutable.ArrayBuffer(1, 2, 3)
val listBuffer = mutable.ListBuffer("a", "b", "c")
val hashMap = mutable.Map("one" -> 1, "two" -> 2, "three" -> 3)

arrayBuffer += 4
listBuffer += "d"
arrayBuffer -= 1
listBuffer -= "a"
hashMap += "four" -> 4
hashMap -= "one"

arrayBuffer ++= List(5, 6, 7)
hashMap ++= Map("five" -> 5, "six" -> 6)
hashMap --= Set("one", "three")

println(arrayBuffer)
println(listBuffer)
println(hashMap)
