Scala Iterator toIterable() method with example

The toIterable() belongs to the concrete value members of the Class AbstractIterator. It is defined in the classes TraversableOnce and GenTraversableOnce. It converts the stated traversable or iterator to an iterable collection. It won’t end for infinite-sized collections.

Method Definition : def toIterable: Iterable[A]

Return Type : It returns an Iterable containing all elements of the stated traversable or iterator.

Example :

// Scala program of toIterable()
// method

// Creating object
object GfG
{

    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {

        // Declaring an iterator
        val iter = Iterator(3, 2, 5, 9)

        // Applying toIterable method
        val result = iter.toIterable

        // Displays output
        println(result)

    }
}

Output:

Stream(3, ?)

Here, a Stream is returned from the stated iterator.

Example :

// Scala program of toIterable()
// method

// Creating object
object GfG
{

    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {

        // Declaring an empty-iterator
        val iter = Iterator()

        // Applying toIterable method
        val result = iter.toIterable

        // Displays output
        println(result)

    }
}

Output:

Stream()

Here, an empty Stream is returned from an empty-iterator.
