Java 8 Streams - LongStream.limit Examples

[Last Updated: Nov 8, 2025]

Interface:

java.util.stream.LongStream

Method:

LongStream limit(long maxSize)

This intermediate operation 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 operation.

Examples

package com.logicbig.example.longstream;

import java.util.stream.LongStream;

public class LimitExample {

    public static void main(String... args) {
        LongStream stream = LongStream.of(4, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17);
        stream.limit(4)
              .forEach(System.out::println);
    }
}

Output

For parallel stream

package com.logicbig.example.longstream;

import java.util.stream.LongStream;

public class LimitExample2 {

    public static void main(String... args) {
        LongStream stream = LongStream.of(4, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17);
        stream.parallel()
              .limit(4)
              .forEach(System.out::println);

    }
}
