Java 8 Streams - LongStream.skip Examples

[Last Updated: Nov 8, 2025]

Interface:

java.util.stream.LongStream

Method:

LongStream 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.longstream;

import java.util.stream.LongStream;

public class SkipExample {

    public static void main(String... args) {
        LongStream.of(4, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17)
                  .skip(2)
                  .forEach(System.out::println);
    }
}

Output

Parallel stream:

package com.logicbig.example.longstream;

import java.util.stream.LongStream;

public class SkipExample2 {

    public static void main(String... args) {
        LongStream.of(4, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17)
                  .parallel()
                  .skip(2)
                  .forEach(System.out::println);
    }
}
