How to skip only first element of List in Scala
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( "Beginner" , "For" , "Beginner" , "is" , "a" , "fabulous" , "portal" ) println(mylist.tail) } } |
Output:
List(For, Beginner, 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)
