50/**
51 * A sequence of elements supporting sequential and parallel aggregate
52 * operations.  The following example illustrates an aggregate operation using
53 * {@link Stream} and {@link IntStream}:
54 *
55 * <pre>{@code
56 *     int sum = widgets.stream()
57 *                      .filter(w -> w.getColor() == RED)
58 *                      .mapToInt(w -> w.getWeight())
59 *                      .sum();
60 * }</pre>
61 *
62 * In this example, {@code widgets} is a {@code Collection<Widget>}.  We create
63 * a stream of {@code Widget} objects via {@link Collection#stream Collection.stream()},
64 * filter it to produce a stream containing only the red widgets, and then
65 * transform it into a stream of {@code int} values representing the weight of
66 * each red widget. Then this stream is summed to produce a total weight.
67 *
68 * <p>In addition to {@code Stream}, which is a stream of object references,
69 * there are primitive specializations for {@link IntStream}, {@link LongStream},
70 * and {@link DoubleStream}, all of which are referred to as "streams" and
71 * conform to the characteristics and restrictions described here.
72 *
73 * <p>To perform a computation, stream
74 * <a href="package-summary.html#StreamOps">operations</a> are composed into a
75 * <em>stream pipeline</em>.  A stream pipeline consists of a source (which
76 * might be an array, a collection, a generator function, an I/O channel,
77 * etc), zero or more <em>intermediate operations</em> (which transform a
78 * stream into another stream, such as {@link Stream#filter(Predicate)}), and a
79 * <em>terminal operation</em> (which produces a result or side-effect, such
80 * as {@link Stream#count()} or {@link Stream#forEach(Consumer)}).
81 * Streams are lazy; computation on the source data is only performed when the
82 * terminal operation is initiated, and source elements are consumed only
83 * as needed.
84 *
85 * <p>A stream implementation is permitted significant latitude in optimizing
86 * the computation of the result.  For example, a stream implementation is free
87 * to elide operations (or entire stages) from a stream pipeline -- and
88 * therefore elide invocation of behavioral parameters -- if it can prove that
89 * it would not affect the result of the computation.  This means that
90 * side-effects of behavioral parameters may not always be executed and should
91 * not be relied upon, unless otherwise specified (such as by the terminal
92 * operations {@code forEach} and {@code forEachOrdered}). (For a specific
93 * example of such an optimization, see the API note documented on the
94 * {@link #count} operation.  For more detail, see the
95 * <a href="package-summary.html#SideEffects">side-effects</a> section of the
96 * stream package documentation.)
97 *
98 * <p>Collections and streams, while bearing some superficial similarities,
99 * have different goals.  Collections are primarily concerned with the efficient
100 * management of, and access to, their elements.  By contrast, streams do not
101 * provide a means to directly access or manipulate their elements, and are
102 * instead concerned with declaratively describing their source and the
103 * computational operations which will be performed in aggregate on that source.
104 * However, if the provided stream operations do not offer the desired
105 * functionality, the {@link #iterator()} and {@link #spliterator()} operations
106 * can be used to perform a controlled traversal.
107 *
108 * <p>A stream pipeline, like the "widgets" example above, can be viewed as
109 * a <em>query</em> on the stream source.  Unless the source was explicitly
110 * designed for concurrent modification (such as a {@link ConcurrentHashMap}),
111 * unpredictable or erroneous behavior may result from modifying the stream
112 * source while it is being queried.
113 *
114 * <p>Most stream operations accept parameters that describe user-specified
115 * behavior, such as the lambda expression {@code w -> w.getWeight()} passed to
116 * {@code mapToInt} in the example above.  To preserve correct behavior,
117 * these <em>behavioral parameters</em>:
118 * <ul>
119 * <li>must be <a href="package-summary.html#NonInterference">non-interfering</a>
120 * (they do not modify the stream source); and</li>
121 * <li>in most cases must be <a href="package-summary.html#Statelessness">stateless</a>
122 * (their result should not depend on any state that might change during execution
123 * of the stream pipeline).</li>
124 * </ul>
125 *
126 * <p>Such parameters are always instances of a
127 * <a href="../function/package-summary.html">functional interface</a> such
128 * as {@link java.util.function.Function}, and are often lambda expressions or
129 * method references.  Unless otherwise specified these parameters must be
130 * <em>non-null</em>.
131 *
132 * <p>A stream should be operated on (invoking an intermediate or terminal stream
133 * operation) only once.  This rules out, for example, "forked" streams, where
134 * the same source feeds two or more pipelines, or multiple traversals of the
135 * same stream.  A stream implementation may throw {@link IllegalStateException}
136 * if it detects that the stream is being reused. However, since some stream
137 * operations may return their receiver rather than a new stream object, it may
138 * not be possible to detect reuse in all cases.
139 *
140 * <p>Streams have a {@link #close()} method and implement {@link AutoCloseable}.
141 * Operating on a stream after it has been closed will throw {@link IllegalStateException}.
142 * Most stream instances do not actually need to be closed after use, as they
143 * are backed by collections, arrays, or generating functions, which require no
144 * special resource management. Generally, only streams whose source is an IO channel,
145 * such as those returned by {@link Files#lines(Path)}, will require closing. If a
146 * stream does require closing, it must be opened as a resource within a try-with-resources
147 * statement or similar control structure to ensure that it is closed promptly after its
148 * operations have completed.
149 *
150 * <p>Stream pipelines may execute either sequentially or in
151 * <a href="package-summary.html#Parallelism">parallel</a>.  This
152 * execution mode is a property of the stream.  Streams are created
153 * with an initial choice of sequential or parallel execution.  (For example,
154 * {@link Collection#stream() Collection.stream()} creates a sequential stream,
155 * and {@link Collection#parallelStream() Collection.parallelStream()} creates
156 * a parallel one.)  This choice of execution mode may be modified by the
157 * {@link #sequential()} or {@link #parallel()} methods, and may be queried with
158 * the {@link #isParallel()} method.
