Example

Example: Get a Stream of 30 elements, containing 21st to 50th (inclusive) element of a collection.

final long n = 20L; // the number of elements to skip
final long maxSize = 30L; // the number of elements the stream should be limited to
final Stream<T> slice = collection.stream().skip(n).limit(maxSize);

Notes:

IllegalArgumentException is thrown if n is negative or maxSize is negative
both skip(long) and limit(long) are intermediate operations
if a stream contains fewer than n elements then skip(n) returns an empty stream
both skip(long) and limit(long) are cheap operations on sequential stream pipelines, but can be quite expensive on ordered parallel pipelines
