Base interface for streams, which are sequences of elements supporting sequential and parallel aggregate operations. The following example illustrates an aggregate operation using the stream types Stream and IntStream, computing the sum of the weights of the red widgets:

    int sum = widgets.stream()
                     .filter(w -> w.getColor() == RED)
                     .mapToInt(w -> w.getWeight())
                     .sum();
See the class documentation for Stream and the package documentation for java.util.stream for additional specification of streams, stream operations, stream pipelines, and parallelism, which governs the behavior of all stream types.
Type parameters:
  • <T> – the type of the stream elements
  • <S> – the type of the stream implementing BaseStream

Returns an iterator for the elements of this stream.

This is a terminal operation.

Returns:the element iterator for this stream
/** * Returns an iterator for the elements of this stream. * * <p>This is a <a href="package-summary.html#StreamOps">terminal * operation</a>. * * @return the element iterator for this stream */
Iterator<T> iterator();
Returns a spliterator for the elements of this stream.

This is a terminal operation.

The returned spliterator should report the set of characteristics derived from the stream pipeline (namely the characteristics derived from the stream source spliterator and the intermediate operations). Implementations may report a sub-set of those characteristics. For example, it may be too expensive to compute the entire set for some or all possible stream pipelines.

Returns:the element spliterator for this stream

Spliterator<T> spliterator();
Returns whether this stream, if a terminal operation were to be executed, would execute in parallel. Calling this method after invoking an terminal stream operation method may yield unpredictable results.
Returns:true if this stream would execute in parallel if executed
/** * Returns whether this stream, if a terminal operation were to be executed, * would execute in parallel. Calling this method after invoking an * terminal stream operation method may yield unpredictable results. * * @return {@code true} if this stream would execute in parallel if executed */
boolean isParallel();
Returns an equivalent stream that is sequential. May return itself, either because the stream was already sequential, or because the underlying stream state was modified to be sequential.

This is an intermediate operation.

Returns:a sequential stream
/** * Returns an equivalent stream that is sequential. May return * itself, either because the stream was already sequential, or because * the underlying stream state was modified to be sequential. * * <p>This is an <a href="package-summary.html#StreamOps">intermediate * operation</a>. * * @return a sequential stream */
S sequential();
Returns an equivalent stream that is parallel. May return itself, either because the stream was already parallel, or because the underlying stream state was modified to be parallel.

This is an intermediate operation.

Returns:a parallel stream
/** * Returns an equivalent stream that is parallel.

S parallel();
Returns an equivalent stream that is unordered. May return itself, either because the stream was already unordered, or because the underlying stream state was modified to be unordered.

This is an intermediate operation.

Returns:an unordered stream
/** * Returns an equivalent stream that is * <a href="package-summary.html#Ordering">unordered</a>. May return * itself, either because the stream was already unordered, or because * the underlying stream state was modified to be unordered. * * <p>This is an <a href="package-summary.html#StreamOps">intermediate * operation</a>. * * @return an unordered stream */
S unordered();
Returns an equivalent stream with an additional close handler. Close handlers are run when the close() method is called on the stream, and are executed in the order they were added. All close handlers are run, even if earlier close handlers throw exceptions. If any close handler throws an exception, the first exception thrown will be relayed to the caller of close(), with any remaining exceptions added to that exception as suppressed exceptions (unless one of the remaining exceptions is the same exception as the first exception, since an exception cannot suppress itself.) May return itself.

This is an intermediate operation.

Params:
  • closeHandler – A task to execute when the stream is closed
Returns:a stream with a handler that is run if the stream is closed
/** * Returns an equivalent stream with an additional close handler.
