Java 8 Streams - DoubleStream.skip Examples

[Last Updated: Nov 8, 2025]

Interface:

java.util.stream.DoubleStream

Method:

DoubleStream skip(long n)

This stateful intermediate operation 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.

Examples

package com.logicbig.example.doublestream;

import java.util.stream.DoubleStream;

public class SkipExample {

    public static void main(String... args) {

        System.out.println("-- sequential --");
        DoubleStream.of(1.0, 1.2, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0)
                    .skip(2)
                    .forEach(System.out::println);

        System.out.println("-- parallel --");
        DoubleStream.of(1.0, 1.2, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0)
                    .parallel()
                    .skip(2)
                    .forEach(System.out::println);

        System.out.println("-- unordered parallel --");
        DoubleStream.of(1.0, 1.2, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0)
                    .unordered()
                    .parallel()
                    .skip(2)
                    .forEach(System.out::println);
    }
}

Output

-- sequential --
2.0
2.4
3.0
-- parallel --
2.4
3.0
2.0
-- unordered parallel --
2.4
2.0
3.0
