Question

consider this piece of code:

Welcome to Scala version 2.8.0.r0-b20100714201327 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_20).
scala> val a = IntMap((1,1))
a: scala.collection.immutable.IntMap[Int] = IntMap((1,1))
scala> a.map(x => (x._1,x._2 + 1))
res23: scala.collection.immutable.Map[Int,Int] = Map((1,2))

header of IntMap.map says this

 def   map  [B]  (f: ((Int, T)) ⇒ B)  : immutable.IntMap[B]

[use case] Builds a new collection by applying a function to all elements
of this immutable integer map.

How should I construct the lambda to return IntMap?

Answer 1

Under Scala 2.8, I get

scala> a.map(x => (x._1,x._2 + 1))
res0: scala.collection.immutable.IntMap[Int] = IntMap((1,2))
