Interface IDrop

All Known Implementing Classes:

LongRange, PersistentArrayMap, PersistentVector, PersistentVector.ChunkedSeq, Repeat, StringSeq

public interface IDrop

Persistent or algorithmically defined collections can implement IDrop to provide a means of dropping N items that is more efficient than sequential walking.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Sequential	drop(int n) Returns a collection that is Sequential, ISeq, and IReduceInit.

Method Detail

drop

Sequential drop(int n)

Returns a collection that is Sequential, ISeq, and IReduceInit. It is also useful if the returned coll implements IDrop for subsequent use in a partition-like scenario.

Parameters:

n - Items to drop, must be > 0

Returns:

Collection that is Sequential, ISeq, and IReduceInit, or null if past the end
