A sequence of primitive long-valued elements supporting sequential and parallel aggregate operations. This is the long primitive specialization of Stream.

The following example illustrates an aggregate operation using Stream and LongStream, computing the sum of the weights of the red widgets:

long sum = widgets.stream()
                      .filter(w -> w.getColor() == RED)
                      .mapToLong(w -> w.getWeight())
                      .sum();

Method Detail

allMatchback to summary
public boolean allMatch(LongPredicate predicate)

Returns whether all elements of this stream match the provided predicate. May not evaluate the predicate on all elements if not necessary for determining the result. If the stream is empty then true is returned and the predicate is not evaluated.

This is a short-circuiting terminal operation.

API Note

This method evaluates the universal quantification of the predicate over the elements of the stream (for all x P(x)). If the stream is empty, the quantification is said to be vacuously satisfied and is always true (regardless of P(x)).

Parameters
predicate:LongPredicate

a non-interfering, stateless predicate to apply to elements of this stream

Returns:boolean

true if either all elements of the stream match the provided predicate or the stream is empty, otherwise false

anyMatchback to summary
public boolean anyMatch(LongPredicate predicate)

Returns whether any elements of this stream match the provided predicate. May not evaluate the predicate on all elements if not necessary for determining the result. If the stream is empty then false is returned and the predicate is not evaluated.

This is a short-circuiting terminal operation.

API Note

This method evaluates the existential quantification of the predicate over the elements of the stream (for some x P(x)).

Parameters
predicate:LongPredicate

a non-interfering, stateless predicate to apply to elements of this stream

Returns:boolean

true if any elements of the stream match the provided predicate, otherwise false

asDoubleStreamback to summary
public DoubleStream asDoubleStream()

Returns a DoubleStream consisting of the elements of this stream, converted to double.

This is an intermediate operation.

Returns:DoubleStream

a DoubleStream consisting of the elements of this stream, converted to double

averageback to summary
public OptionalDouble average()

Returns an OptionalDouble describing the arithmetic mean of elements of this stream, or an empty optional if this stream is empty. This is a special case of a reduction.

This is a terminal operation.

Returns:OptionalDouble

an OptionalDouble containing the average element of this stream, or an empty optional if the stream is empty

boxedback to summary
public Stream<Long> boxed()

Returns a Stream consisting of the elements of this stream, each boxed to a Long.

This is an intermediate operation.

Returns:Stream<Long>

a Stream consistent of the elements of this stream, each boxed to Long

builderback to summary
public static LongStream.Builder builder()

Returns a builder for a LongStream.

Returns:LongStream.Builder

a stream builder

collectback to summary
public <R> R collect(Supplier<R> supplier, ObjLongConsumer<R> accumulator, BiConsumer<R, R> combiner)

Performs a mutable reduction operation on the elements of this stream. A mutable reduction is one in which the reduced value is a mutable result container, such as an ArrayList, and elements are incorporated by updating the state of the result rather than by replacing the result. This produces a result equivalent to:

R result = supplier.get();
    for (long element : this stream)
        accumulator.accept(result, element);
    return result;

Like reduce(long, LongBinaryOperator), collect operations can be parallelized without requiring additional synchronization.

This is a terminal operation.

Parameters
<R>
the type of the mutable result container
supplier:Supplier<R>

a function that creates a new mutable result container. For a parallel execution, this function may be called multiple times and must return a fresh value each time.

accumulator:ObjLongConsumer<R>

an associative, non-interfering, stateless function that must fold an element into a result container.

combiner:BiConsumer<R, R>

an associative, non-interfering, stateless function that accepts two partial result containers and merges them, which must be compatible with the accumulator function. The combiner function must fold the elements from the second result container into the first result container.

Returns:R

the result of the reduction

See Also
Stream#collect(Supplier, BiConsumer, BiConsumer)
concatback to summary
public static LongStream concat(LongStream a, LongStream b)

Creates a lazily concatenated stream whose elements are all the elements of the first stream followed by all the elements of the second stream. The resulting stream is ordered if both of the input streams are ordered, and parallel if either of the input streams is parallel. When the resulting stream is closed, the close handlers for both input streams are invoked.

This method operates on the two input streams and binds each stream to its source. As a result subsequent modifications to an input stream source may not be reflected in the concatenated stream result.

Implementation Note

Use caution when constructing streams from repeated concatenation. Accessing an element of a deeply concatenated stream can result in deep call chains, or even StackOverflowError.

API Note

To preserve optimization opportunities this method binds each stream to its source and accepts only two streams as parameters. For example, the exact size of the concatenated stream source can be computed if the exact size of each input stream source is known. To concatenate more streams without binding, or without nested calls to this method, try creating a stream of streams and flat-mapping with the identity function, for example:

LongStream concat = Stream.of(s1, s2, s3, s4).flatMapToLong(s -> s);
Parameters
a:LongStream

the first stream

b:LongStream

the second stream

Returns:LongStream

the concatenation of the two input streams

countback to summary
public long count()

Returns the count of elements in this stream. This is a special case of a reduction and is equivalent to:

return map(e -> 1L).sum();

This is a terminal operation.

API Note

An implementation may choose to not execute the stream pipeline (either sequentially or in parallel) if it is capable of computing the count directly from the stream source. In such cases no source elements will be traversed and no intermediate operations will be evaluated. Behavioral parameters with side-effects, which are strongly discouraged except for harmless cases such as debugging, may be affected. For example, consider the following stream:

LongStream s = LongStream.of(1, 2, 3, 4);
    long count = s.peek(System.out::println).count();
The number of elements covered by the stream source is known and the intermediate operation, peek, does not inject into or remove elements from the stream (as may be the case for flatMap or filter operations). Thus the count is 4 and there is no need to execute the pipeline and, as a side-effect, print out the elements.
Returns:long

the count of elements in this stream

distinctback to summary
public LongStream distinct()

Returns a stream consisting of the distinct elements of this stream.

This is a stateful intermediate operation.

Returns:LongStream

the new stream

dropWhileback to summary
public default LongStream dropWhile(LongPredicate predicate)

Returns, if this stream is ordered, a stream consisting of the remaining elements of this stream after dropping the longest prefix of elements that match the given predicate. Otherwise returns, if this stream is unordered, a stream consisting of the remaining elements of this stream after dropping a subset of elements that match the given predicate.

If this stream is ordered then the longest prefix is a contiguous sequence of elements of this stream that match the given predicate. The first element of the sequence is the first element of this stream, and the element immediately following the last element of the sequence does not match the given predicate.

If this stream is unordered, and some (but not all) elements of this stream match the given predicate, then the behavior of this operation is nondeterministic; it is free to drop any subset of matching elements (which includes the empty set).

Independent of whether this stream is ordered or unordered if all elements of this stream match the given predicate then this operation drops all elements (the result is an empty stream), or if no elements of the stream match the given predicate then no elements are dropped (the result is the same as the input).

This is a stateful intermediate operation.

Implementation Specification

The default implementation obtains the spliterator of this stream, wraps that spliterator so as to support the semantics of this operation on traversal, and returns a new stream associated with the wrapped spliterator. The returned stream preserves the execution characteristics of this stream (namely parallel or sequential execution as per isParallel()) but the wrapped spliterator may choose to not support splitting. When the returned stream is closed, the close handlers for both the returned and this stream are invoked.

API Note

While dropWhile() is generally a cheap operation on sequential stream pipelines, it can be quite expensive on ordered parallel pipelines, since the operation is constrained to return not just any valid prefix, but the longest prefix of elements in the encounter order. Using an unordered stream source (such as generate(LongSupplier)) or removing the ordering constraint with unordered() may result in significant speedups of dropWhile() in parallel pipelines, if the semantics of your situation permit. If consistency with encounter order is required, and you are experiencing poor performance or memory utilization with dropWhile() in parallel pipelines, switching to sequential execution with sequential() may improve performance.

Parameters
predicate:LongPredicate

a non-interfering, stateless predicate to apply to elements to determine the longest prefix of elements.

Returns:LongStream

the new stream

emptyback to summary
public static LongStream empty()

Returns:LongStream

an empty sequential stream

filterback to summary
public LongStream filter(LongPredicate predicate)

Returns a stream consisting of the elements of this stream that match the given predicate.

This is an intermediate operation.

Parameters
predicate:LongPredicate

Returns:LongStream

the new stream

findAnyback to summary
public OptionalLong findAny()

Returns an OptionalLong describing some element of the stream, or an empty OptionalLong if the stream is empty.

This is a short-circuiting terminal operation.

The behavior of this operation is explicitly nondeterministic; it is free to select any element in the stream. This is to allow for maximal performance in parallel operations; the cost is that multiple invocations on the same source may not return the same result. (If a stable result is desired, use findFirst() instead.)

Returns:OptionalLong

an OptionalLong describing some element of this stream, or an empty OptionalLong if the stream is empty

See Also
findFirst()
findFirstback to summary
public OptionalLong findFirst()

Returns an OptionalLong describing the first element of this stream, or an empty OptionalLong if the stream is empty. If the stream has no encounter order, then any element may be returned.

This is a short-circuiting terminal operation.

Returns:OptionalLong

an OptionalLong describing the first element of this stream, or an empty OptionalLong if the stream is empty

flatMapback to summary
public LongStream flatMap(LongFunction<? extends LongStream> mapper)

Returns a stream consisting of the results of replacing each element of this stream with the contents of a mapped stream produced by applying the provided mapping function to each element. Each mapped stream is closed after its contents have been placed into this stream. (If a mapped stream is null an empty stream is used, instead.)

This is an intermediate operation.

Parameters
mapper:LongFunction<? extends LongStream>

a non-interfering, stateless function to apply to each element which produces a LongStream of new values

Returns:LongStream

the new stream

See Also
Stream#flatMap(Function)
forEachback to summary
public void forEach(LongConsumer action)

Performs an action for each element of this stream.

This is a terminal operation.

For parallel stream pipelines, this operation does not guarantee to respect the encounter order of the stream, as doing so would sacrifice the benefit of parallelism. For any given element, the action may be performed at whatever time and in whatever thread the library chooses. If the action accesses shared state, it is responsible for providing the required synchronization.

Parameters
action:LongConsumer

a non-interfering action to perform on the elements

forEachOrderedback to summary
public void forEachOrdered(LongConsumer action)

Performs an action for each element of this stream, guaranteeing that each element is processed in encounter order for streams that have a defined encounter order.

This is a terminal operation.

Parameters
action:LongConsumer

a non-interfering action to perform on the elements

See Also
forEach(LongConsumer)
generateback to summary
public static LongStream generate(LongSupplier s)

Returns an infinite sequential unordered stream where each element is generated by the provided LongSupplier. This is suitable for generating constant streams, streams of random elements, etc.

Parameters
s:LongSupplier

the LongSupplier for generated elements

Returns:LongStream

a new infinite sequential unordered LongStream

iterateback to summary
public static LongStream iterate(final long seed, final LongUnaryOperator f)

Returns an infinite sequential ordered LongStream produced by iterative application of a function f to an initial element seed, producing a Stream consisting of seed, f(seed), f(f(seed)), etc.

The first element (position 0) in the LongStream will be the provided seed. For n > 0, the element at position n, will be the result of applying the function f to the element at position n - 1.

The action of applying f for one element happens-before the action of applying f for subsequent elements. For any given element the action may be performed in whatever thread the library chooses.

Parameters
seed:long

the initial element

f:LongUnaryOperator

a function to be applied to the previous element to produce a new element

Returns:LongStream

a new sequential LongStream

iterateback to summary
public static LongStream iterate(long seed, LongPredicate hasNext, LongUnaryOperator next)

Returns a sequential ordered LongStream produced by iterative application of the given next function to an initial element, conditioned on satisfying the given hasNext predicate. The stream terminates as soon as the hasNext predicate returns false.

LongStream.iterate should produce the same sequence of elements as produced by the corresponding for-loop:

for (long index=seed; hasNext.test(index); index = next.applyAsLong(index)) {
        ...
    }

The resulting sequence may be empty if the hasNext predicate does not hold on the seed value. Otherwise the first element will be the supplied seed value, the next element (if present) will be the result of applying the next function to the seed value, and so on iteratively until the hasNext predicate indicates that the stream should terminate.

The action of applying the hasNext predicate to an element happens-before the action of applying the next function to that element. The action of applying the next function for one element happens-before the action of applying the hasNext predicate for subsequent elements. For any given element an action may be performed in whatever thread the library chooses.

Parameters
seed:long

the initial element

hasNext:LongPredicate

a predicate to apply to elements to determine when the stream must terminate.

next:LongUnaryOperator

a function to be applied to the previous element to produce a new element

Returns:LongStream

a new sequential LongStream

Returns an iterator for the elements of this stream.

This is a terminal operation.

Annotations
@Override
limitback to summary
public LongStream limit(long maxSize)

Returns a stream consisting of the elements of this stream, truncated to be no longer than maxSize in length.

This is a short-circuiting stateful intermediate operation.

API Note

While limit() is generally a cheap operation on sequential stream pipelines, it can be quite expensive on ordered parallel pipelines, especially for large values of maxSize, since limit(n) is constrained to return not just any n elements, but the first n elements in the encounter order. Using an unordered stream source (such as generate(LongSupplier)) or removing the ordering constraint with unordered() may result in significant speedups of limit() in parallel pipelines, if the semantics of your situation permit. If consistency with encounter order is required, and you are experiencing poor performance or memory utilization with limit() in parallel pipelines, switching to sequential execution with sequential() may improve performance.

Parameters
maxSize:long

the number of elements the stream should be limited to

Returns:LongStream

the new stream

Exceptions
IllegalArgumentException:
if maxSize is negative
mapback to summary
public LongStream map(LongUnaryOperator mapper)

Returns a stream consisting of the results of applying the given function to the elements of this stream.

This is an intermediate operation.

Parameters
mapper:LongUnaryOperator

a non-interfering, stateless function to apply to each element

Returns:LongStream

the new stream

mapMultiback to summary
public default LongStream mapMulti(LongStream.LongMapMultiConsumer mapper)

Returns a stream consisting of the results of replacing each element of this stream with multiple elements, specifically zero or more elements. Replacement is performed by applying the provided mapping function to each element in conjunction with a consumer argument that accepts replacement elements. The mapping function calls the consumer zero or more times to provide the replacement elements.

This is an intermediate operation.

If the consumer argument is used outside the scope of its application to the mapping function, the results are undefined.

Implementation Specification

The default implementation invokes flatMap on this stream, passing a function that behaves as follows. First, it calls the mapper function with a LongConsumer that accumulates replacement elements into a newly created internal buffer. When the mapper function returns, it creates a LongStream from the internal buffer. Finally, it returns this stream to flatMap.

Parameters
mapper:LongStream.LongMapMultiConsumer

a non-interfering, stateless function that generates replacement elements

Returns:LongStream

the new stream

the new stream

maxback to summary
public OptionalLong max()

Returns an OptionalLong describing the maximum element of this stream, or an empty optional if this stream is empty. This is a special case of a reduction and is equivalent to:

return reduce(Long::max);

This is a terminal operation.

Returns:OptionalLong

an OptionalLong containing the maximum element of this stream, or an empty OptionalLong if the stream is empty

minback to summary
public OptionalLong min()

Returns an OptionalLong describing the minimum element of this stream, or an empty optional if this stream is empty. This is a special case of a reduction and is equivalent to:

return reduce(Long::min);

This is a terminal operation.

Returns:OptionalLong

an OptionalLong containing the minimum element of this stream, or an empty OptionalLong if the stream is empty

noneMatchback to summary
public boolean noneMatch(LongPredicate predicate)

Returns whether no elements of this stream match the provided predicate. May not evaluate the predicate on all elements if not necessary for determining the result. If the stream is empty then true is returned and the predicate is not evaluated.

This is a short-circuiting terminal operation.

API Note

This method evaluates the universal quantification of the negated predicate over the elements of the stream (for all x ~P(x)). If the stream is empty, the quantification is said to be vacuously satisfied and is always true, regardless of P(x).

Parameters
predicate:LongPredicate

a non-interfering, stateless predicate to apply to elements of this stream

Returns:boolean

true if either no elements of the stream match the provided predicate or the stream is empty, otherwise false

ofback to summary
public static LongStream of(long t)

Returns a sequential LongStream containing a single element.

Parameters
t:long

the single element

Returns:LongStream

a singleton sequential stream

ofback to summary
public static LongStream of(long... values)

Returns a sequential ordered stream whose elements are the specified values.

Parameters
values:long[]

the elements of the new stream

Returns:LongStream

the new stream

parallelback to summary
public LongStream parallel()

Redeclares java.util.stream.BaseStream.parallel.

Doc from java.util.stream.BaseStream.parallel.

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:LongStream

a parallel stream

Annotations
@Override
peekback to summary
public LongStream peek(LongConsumer action)

Returns a stream consisting of the elements of this stream, additionally performing the provided action on each element as elements are consumed from the resulting stream.

This is an intermediate operation.

For parallel stream pipelines, the action may be called at whatever time and in whatever thread the element is made available by the upstream operation. If the action modifies shared state, it is responsible for providing the required synchronization.

API Note

This method exists mainly to support debugging, where you want to see the elements as they flow past a certain point in a pipeline:

LongStream.of(1, 2, 3, 4)
        .filter(e -> e > 2)
        .peek(e -> System.out.println("Filtered value: " + e))
        .map(e -> e * e)
        .peek(e -> System.out.println("Mapped value: " + e))
        .sum();

In cases where the stream implementation is able to optimize away the production of some or all the elements (such as with short-circuiting operations like findFirst, or in the example described in count), the action will not be invoked for those elements.

Parameters
action:LongConsumer

a non-interfering action to perform on the elements as they are consumed from the stream

Returns:LongStream

the new stream

rangeback to summary
public static LongStream range(long startInclusive, final long endExclusive)

Returns a sequential ordered LongStream from startInclusive (inclusive) to endExclusive (exclusive) by an incremental step of 1.

API Note

An equivalent sequence of increasing values can be produced sequentially using a for loop as follows:

for (long i = startInclusive; i < endExclusive ; i++) { ... }
Parameters
startInclusive:long

the (inclusive) initial value

endExclusive:long

the exclusive upper bound

Returns:LongStream

a sequential LongStream for the range of long elements

rangeClosedback to summary
public static LongStream rangeClosed(long startInclusive, final long endInclusive)

Returns a sequential ordered LongStream from startInclusive (inclusive) to endInclusive (inclusive) by an incremental step of 1.

API Note

An equivalent sequence of increasing values can be produced sequentially using a for loop as follows:

for (long i = startInclusive; i <= endInclusive ; i++) { ... }
Parameters
startInclusive:long

the (inclusive) initial value

endInclusive:long

the inclusive upper bound

Returns:LongStream

a sequential LongStream for the range of long elements

reduceback to summary
public long reduce(long identity, LongBinaryOperator op)

Performs a reduction on the elements of this stream, using the provided identity value and an associative accumulation function, and returns the reduced value. This is equivalent to:

long result = identity;
    for (long element : this stream)
        result = accumulator.applyAsLong(result, element)
    return result;
but is not constrained to execute sequentially.

The identity value must be an identity for the accumulator function. This means that for all x, accumulator.apply(identity, x) is equal to x. The accumulator function must be an associative function.

This is a terminal operation.

API Note

Sum, min, max, and average are all special cases of reduction. Summing a stream of numbers can be expressed as:

long sum = integers.reduce(0, (a, b) -> a+b);
or more compactly:
long sum = integers.reduce(0, Long::sum);

While this may seem a more roundabout way to perform an aggregation compared to simply mutating a running total in a loop, reduction operations parallelize more gracefully, without needing additional synchronization and with greatly reduced risk of data races.

Parameters
identity:long

the identity value for the accumulating function

op:LongBinaryOperator

an associative, non-interfering, stateless function for combining two values

Returns:long

the result of the reduction

sum(), min(), max(), average()
reduceback to summary
public OptionalLong reduce(LongBinaryOperator op)

Performs a reduction on the elements of this stream, using an associative accumulation function, and returns an OptionalLong describing the reduced value, if any. This is equivalent to:

boolean foundAny = false;
    long result = null;
    for (long element : this stream) {
        if (!foundAny) {
            foundAny = true;
            result = element;
        }
        else
            result = accumulator.applyAsLong(result, element);
    }
    return foundAny ? OptionalLong.of(result) : OptionalLong.empty();
but is not constrained to execute sequentially.

The accumulator function must be an associative function.

This is a terminal operation.

Parameters
op:LongBinaryOperator

an associative, non-interfering, stateless function for combining two values

Returns:OptionalLong

the result of the reduction

reduce(long, LongBinaryOperator)
sequentialback to summary
public LongStream sequential()

Redeclares java.util.stream.BaseStream.sequential.

Doc from java.util.stream.BaseStream.sequential.

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:LongStream

a sequential stream

Annotations
@Override
skipback to summary
public LongStream skip(long n)

Returns a stream consisting of the remaining elements of this stream after discarding the first n elements of the stream. If this stream contains fewer than n elements then an empty stream will be returned.

This is a stateful intermediate operation.

API Note

While skip() is generally a cheap operation on sequential stream pipelines, it can be quite expensive on ordered parallel pipelines, especially for large values of n, since skip(n) is constrained to skip not just any n elements, but the first n elements in the encounter order. Using an unordered stream source (such as generate(LongSupplier)) or removing the ordering constraint with unordered() may result in significant speedups of skip() in parallel pipelines, if the semantics of your situation permit. If consistency with encounter order is required, and you are experiencing poor performance or memory utilization with skip() in parallel pipelines, switching to sequential execution with sequential() may improve performance.

Parameters
n:long

the number of leading elements to skip

Returns:LongStream

the new stream

Exceptions
IllegalArgumentException:
if n is negative
sortedback to summary
public LongStream sorted()

Returns a stream consisting of the elements of this stream in sorted order.

public Spliterator.OfLong spliterator()

Redeclares java.util.stream.BaseStream.spliterator.

Doc from java.util.stream.BaseStream.spliterator.

Returns a spliterator for the elements of this stream.

This is a terminal operation.

Returns:Spliterator.OfLong

Annotations
@Override
sumback to summary
public long sum()

Returns the sum of elements in this stream. This is a special case of a reduction and is equivalent to:

return reduce(0, Long::sum);

This is a terminal operation.

Returns:long

the sum of elements in this stream

summaryStatisticsback to summary
public LongSummaryStatistics summaryStatistics()

Returns a LongSummaryStatistics describing various summary data about the elements of this stream. This is a special case of a reduction.

This is a terminal operation.

Returns:LongSummaryStatistics

a LongSummaryStatistics describing various summary data about the elements of this stream

takeWhileback to summary
public default LongStream takeWhile(LongPredicate predicate)

Returns, if this stream is ordered, a stream consisting of the longest prefix of elements taken from this stream that match the given predicate. Otherwise returns, if this stream is unordered, a stream consisting of a subset of elements taken from this stream that match the given predicate.

If this stream is ordered then the longest prefix is a contiguous sequence of elements of this stream that match the given predicate. The first element of the sequence is the first element of this stream, and the element immediately following the last element of the sequence does not match the given predicate.

If this stream is unordered, and some (but not all) elements of this stream match the given predicate, then the behavior of this operation is nondeterministic; it is free to take any subset of matching elements (which includes the empty set).

Independent of whether this stream is ordered or unordered if all elements of this stream match the given predicate then this operation takes all elements (the result is the same as the input), or if no elements of the stream match the given predicate then no elements are taken (the result is an empty stream).

This is a short-circuiting stateful intermediate operation.

Implementation Specification

The default implementation obtains the spliterator of this stream, wraps that spliterator so as to support the semantics of this operation on traversal, and returns a new stream associated with the wrapped spliterator. The returned stream preserves the execution characteristics of this stream (namely parallel or sequential execution as per isParallel()) but the wrapped spliterator may choose to not support splitting. When the returned stream is closed, the close handlers for both the returned and this stream are invoked.

API Note

While takeWhile() is generally a cheap operation on sequential stream pipelines, it can be quite expensive on ordered parallel pipelines, since the operation is constrained to return not just any valid prefix, but the longest prefix of elements in the encounter order. Using an unordered stream source (such as generate(LongSupplier)) or removing the ordering constraint with unordered() may result in significant speedups of takeWhile() in parallel pipelines, if the semantics of your situation permit. If consistency with encounter order is required, and you are experiencing poor performance or memory utilization with takeWhile() in parallel pipelines, switching to sequential execution with sequential() may improve performance.

Parameters
predicate:LongPredicate

a non-interfering, stateless predicate to apply to elements to determine the longest prefix of elements.

Returns:LongStream

public Interface LongStream.Builder

extends LongConsumer
Known Direct Implementers
java.util.stream.Streams.LongStreamBuilderImpl

A mutable builder for a LongStream.

A stream builder has a lifecycle, which starts in a building phase, during which elements can be added, and then transitions to a built phase, after which elements may not be added. The built phase begins begins when the build() method is called, which creates an ordered stream whose elements are the elements that were added to the stream builder, in the order they were added.
