When you look at very simple for comprehensions, the map/foreach alternatives look, indeed, better. Once you start composing them, though, you can easily get lost in parenthesis and nesting levels. When that happens, for comprehensions are usually much clearer.
I'll show one simple example, and intentionally omit any explanation. You can decide which syntax was easier to understand.
l.flatMap(sl => sl.filter(el => el > 0).map(el => el.toString.length))
或
for {
sl <- l
el <- sl
if el > 0
} yield el.toString.length
for (x <- List.range(1, 10); if x % 2 == 1 && !found)
if (x == 5) found = true else println(x)
for (x <- Stream.range(1, 10); if x % 2 == 1 && !found)
if (x == 5) found = true else println(x)
val aList = List( 1,2,3,4,5 )
val res3 = for ( al <- aList if al > 3 ) yield al + 1
val res4 = aList.filter(_ > 3).map(_ + 1)
println( res3 )
println( res4 )
这两段代码是等价的。
val res3 = for (al <- aList) yield al + 1 > 3
val res4 = aList.map( _+ 1 > 3 )
println( res3 )
println( res4 )
scala> val nums = Seq(1,2,3)
nums: Seq[Int] = List(1, 2, 3)
scala> val letters = Seq('a', 'b', 'c')
letters: Seq[Char] = List(a, b, c)
scala> val res = for {
| n <- nums
| c <- letters
| } yield (n, c)
