The indexOf() method belongs to the concrete value members of the class Abstract Iterator. It is helpful in searching the values and then indicating their positions in the stated iterator.
-
Method Definition:
def indexOf(elem: B): Int
Where, elem is the element to be searched.
-
Return Type:
It returns the index of the first occurrence of the element elem in the stated Scala iterator.
Example :
// Scala program of indexOf() // method // Creating object object GfG { // Main method def main(args : Array[String]) { // Declaring an iterator val iter = Iterator( 2 , 3 , 4 , 9 , 6 ) // Applying indexOf method val result = iter.indexOf( 9 ) // Displays output println(result) } } |
3
Here, the value 9 in the indexOf method is present in the third position of the iterator so, it returns three.
Example :
// Scala program of indexOf() // method // Creating object object GfG { // Main method def main(args : Array[String]) { // Declaring an iterator val iter = Iterator( 2 , 3 , 4 , 9 , 6 ) // Applying indexOf method val result = iter.indexOf( 7 ) // Displays output println(result) } } |
-1
Here, the value stated in the method indexOf is not present in the iterator so, it returns -1.
Note: If the value given in the indexOf method is not present in the stated iterator then this method will return -1.
