*. (spread method) operator

The spread method operator maps an iterable of instances through a method, resulting in a new iterable containing the return values of each method invocation.

Usage

{String+} names = {"foo", "bar", "baz"};
{String+} initials = names*.initial(1);

Description

Implementation

You can also spread method references:

Callable<String[], [Integer]> ref = names*.initial;

Definition

See the language specification for more details.

Polymorphism

The *. operator is not polymorphic.
