Method Detail

stream

public static <T> Stream<T> stream(Collection<? extends T> c)

Creates a new sequential Stream using either the given collection's Collection.iterator() as the source of elements for an internally created Spliterator which will report the collection's Collection.size() as its initial size or a specialized Spliterator implementation (effectively the same one that Java 8 uses) if the passed Collection is one of the types listed below.

• java.util.ArrayList
• java.util.Arrays.ArrayList
• java.util.ArrayDeque
• java.util.Vector
• java.util.LinkedList
• java.util.HashSet
• java.util.LinkedHashSet
• java.util.PriorityQueue
• java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue
• java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue
• java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque
• java.util.concurrent.PriorityBlockingQueue
• java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList
• java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArraySet
• The collections returned from the java.util.HashMap methods #keySet(), #entrySet() and #values()

The Spliterators for CopyOnWriteArrayList and CopyOnWriteArraySet provide a snapshot of the state of the collection when the Stream was created, otherwise the created spliterator is late-binding, inherits the fail-fast properties of the collection's iterator, and implements trySplit to permit limited parallelism.

The created spliterator is only traversed, split, or queried for estimated size after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

Type Parameters:

T - Type of elements

Parameters:

c - The collection

Returns:

a new sequential Stream

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given collection is null

parallelStream

public static <T> Stream<T> parallelStream(Collection<? extends T> c)

Creates a new possibly parallel Stream using either the given collection's Collection.iterator() as the source of elements for an internally created Spliterator which will report the collection's Collection.size() as its initial size or a specialized Spliterator implementation (effectively the same one that Java 8 uses) if the passed Collection is one of the types listed below.

• java.util.ArrayList
• java.util.Arrays.ArrayList
• java.util.ArrayDeque
• java.util.Vector
• java.util.LinkedList
• java.util.HashSet
• java.util.LinkedHashSet
• java.util.PriorityQueue
• java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue
• java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue
• java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque
• java.util.concurrent.PriorityBlockingQueue
• java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList
• java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArraySet
• The collections returned from the java.util.HashMap methods #keySet(), #entrySet() and #values()

The Spliterators for CopyOnWriteArrayList and CopyOnWriteArraySet provide a snapshot of the state of the collection when the Stream was created, otherwise the created spliterator is late-binding, inherits the fail-fast properties of the collection's iterator, and implements trySplit to permit limited parallelism.

The created spliterator is only traversed, split, or queried for estimated size after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

Type Parameters:

T - Type of elements

Parameters:

c - The collection

Returns:

a new possibly parallel Stream

Throws:

stream

public static <T> Stream<T> stream(Collection<? extends T> c,
                                   int characteristics)

Creates a new sequential Stream using the given collection's Collection.iterator() as the source of elements for an internally created Spliterator which will report the collection's Collection.size() as its initial size.

The created spliterator is late-binding, inherits the fail-fast properties of the collection's iterator, and implements trySplit to permit limited parallelism.

The created spliterator is only traversed, split, or queried for estimated size after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

If the collection is immutable it is recommended to report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE. The characteristics SIZED and SUBSIZED are additionally (automatically) reported unless CONCURRENT is supplied.

Type Parameters:

T - Type of elements

Parameters:

c - The collection

characteristics - Characteristics of the source collection's iterator or elements. The characteristics SIZED and SUBSIZED are additionally reported unless CONCURRENT is supplied.

Returns:

a new sequential Stream

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given collection is null

stream

public static <T> Stream<T> stream(Collection<? extends T> c,
                                   int characteristics,
                                   boolean parallel)

Creates a new sequential or parallel Stream using the given collection's Collection.iterator() as the source of elements for an internally created Spliterator which will report the collection's Collection.size() as its initial size.

The created spliterator is late-binding, inherits the fail-fast properties of the collection's iterator, and implements trySplit to permit limited parallelism.

The created spliterator is only traversed, split, or queried for estimated size after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

If possible for the collection, it is strongly recommended to report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT especially if you want a parallel Stream. The characteristics SIZED and SUBSIZED are additionally (automatically) reported unless CONCURRENT is supplied.

Type Parameters:

T - Type of elements

Parameters:

c - The collection

characteristics - Characteristics of the source collection's iterator or elements. The characteristics SIZED and SUBSIZED are additionally reported unless CONCURRENT is supplied.

parallel - if true then the returned stream is a parallel stream; if false the returned stream is a sequential stream.

Returns:

a new sequential or parallel Stream

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given collection is null

stream

public static <T> Stream<T> stream(Spliterator<T> spliterator,
                                   boolean parallel)

Creates a new sequential or parallel Stream from a Spliterator.

The spliterator is only traversed, split, or queried for estimated size after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

It is strongly recommended the spliterator report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT, or be late-binding. Otherwise, stream(java8.util.function.Supplier, int, boolean) should be used to reduce the scope of potential interference with the source. See Non-Interference for more details.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of stream elements

Parameters:

spliterator - a Spliterator describing the stream elements

parallel - if true then the returned stream is a parallel stream; if false the returned stream is a sequential stream.

Returns:

a new sequential or parallel Stream

stream

public static <T> Stream<T> stream(Supplier<? extends Spliterator<T>> supplier,
                                   int characteristics,
                                   boolean parallel)

Creates a new sequential or parallel Stream from a Supplier of Spliterator.

The Supplier.get() method will be invoked on the supplier no more than once, and only after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

For spliterators that report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT, or that are late-binding, it is likely more efficient to use stream(java8.util.Spliterator, boolean) instead.

The use of a Supplier in this form provides a level of indirection that reduces the scope of potential interference with the source. Since the supplier is only invoked after the terminal operation commences, any modifications to the source up to the start of the terminal operation are reflected in the stream result. See Non-Interference for more details.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of stream elements

Parameters:

supplier - a Supplier of a Spliterator

characteristics - Spliterator characteristics of the supplied Spliterator. The characteristics must be equal to supplier.get().characteristics(), otherwise undefined behavior may occur when terminal operation commences.

parallel - if true then the returned stream is a parallel stream; if false the returned stream is a sequential stream.

Returns:

a new sequential or parallel Stream

                                  boolean parallel)

Creates a new sequential or parallel IntStream from a Spliterator.OfInt.

The spliterator is only traversed, split, or queried for estimated size after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

It is strongly recommended the spliterator report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT, or be late-binding. Otherwise, intStream(java8.util.function.Supplier, int, boolean) should be used to reduce the scope of potential interference with the source. See Non-Interference for more details.

Parameters:

spliterator - a Spliterator.OfInt describing the stream elements

parallel - if true then the returned stream is a parallel stream; if false the returned stream is a sequential stream.
