Suppose we want to attach the feed author’s name to feeds; we can store it as a key-value pair in a Map:
| | val feeds = Map("Andy Hunt" -> "blog.toolshed.com", |
| | "Dave Thomas" -> "pragdave.me", |
| | "NFJS" -> "nofluffjuststuff.com/blog") |
If we want to get a Map of feeds for folks whose name starts with “D,” we can use the filterKeys method:
| | val filterNameStartWithD = feeds filterKeys( _ startsWith "D" ) |
| | println(s"# of Filtered: ${filterNameStartWithD.size}") |
Here’s the result:
| | # of Filtered: 1 |
On the other hand, if we want to filter on the values, in addition to or instead of the keys, we can use the filter method. The function value we provide to filter receives a (key, value) tuple, and we can use it as ...
