How in the world do you get just an element at index i from the List in scala?
I tried get(i)
, and [i]
- nothing works. Googling only returns how to "find" an element in the list. But I already know the index of the element!
Here is the code that does not compile:
def buildTree(data: List[Data2D]):Node ={
if(data.length == 1){
var point:Data2D = data[0] //Nope - does not work
}
return null
}
Looking at the List api does not help, as my eyes just cross.
Use parentheses:
data(2)
But you don't really want to do that with lists very often, since linked lists take time to traverse. If you want to index into a collection, use Vector
(immutable) or ArrayBuffer
(mutable) or possibly Array
(which is just a Java array, except again you index into it with (i)
instead of [i]
).
