What is flatmap in scala?



What is flatmap in scala?..

Answer / Rahul Gautam

FlatMap in Scala operates similarly to Java's FlatMap. It takes a function that returns a sequence (such as an Iterable or Stream) for each input element, concatenates all resulting sequences into one, and returns it. The primary purpose is to transform collections of collections or iterables into a single collection or iterable.
