To Stream.slice(fromInclusive, toExclusive) or Stream.slice(toSkip, limit) that is the question

[Sam Pullara]

Couldn't a negative limit be seen the same way if we wanted it to?

I think slice(offset, offset+size) works fine here, as well.   By the way, slice(start, end) has another potential advantage in that negative values for the 'end' argument can be interpreted as an offset from the end -- skipping the final x entries.   --Joe  On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 10:34 AM, Brian Goetz <brian.goetz at oracle.com> wrote: If you have a non-indexed stream, why would you ever skip(start).limit(count) instead of simply limit(count)?     Here's one use case: Paging.  You've got a stream of results, and you want to display them by pages.    Stream results = input.skip((pageNo-1)* pageSize).limit(pageSize);
