In Scala, list is defined under scala.collection.immutable
package. A list is a collection of same type elements which contains immutable data. Let’s see how to print the element of given List, by skipping the first item in Scala.
List in Scala contains many suitable methods to perform simple operations like head(), tail(), isEmpty(). Coming to list, tail() method is used to skip the first element of the list.
below are examples to skip only first element of List.
Example :
// Scala program to skip only first element of List import scala.collection.immutable. _
// Creating object object GFGobject
{ // Main method
def main(args : Array[String])
{
// Creating and initializing immutable lists
val mylist : List[String] = List( "Geeks" , "For" , "geeks" , "is" ,
"a" , "fabulous" , "portal" )
println(mylist.tail)
}
} |
Output:
List(For, geeks, is, a, fabulous, portal)
Example :
// Scala program to skip only first element of List import scala.collection.immutable. _
// Creating object object GFG
{ // Main method
def main(args : Array[String])
{
// range from 10 to 19
val myList = List.range( 10 , 19 )
println(myList)
println( "Using tail() method: " + myList.tail)
}
} |
Output:
List(10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) Using tail() method: List(11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
