    • spliterator

      public static <T> Spliterator<T> spliterator(Object[] array, int additionalCharacteristics)
      Creates a Spliterator covering the elements of a given array, using a customized set of spliterator characteristics.

      This method is provided as an implementation convenience for Spliterators which store portions of their elements in arrays, and need fine control over Spliterator characteristics. Most other situations in which a Spliterator for an array is needed should use Arrays.spliterator(Object[]).

      The returned spliterator always reports the characteristics SIZED and SUBSIZED. The caller may provide additional characteristics for the spliterator to report; it is common to additionally specify IMMUTABLE and ORDERED.

      Type Parameters:
      T - Type of elements
      Parameters:
      array - The array, assumed to be unmodified during use
      additionalCharacteristics - Additional spliterator characteristics of this spliterator's source or elements beyond SIZED and SUBSIZED which are always reported
      Returns:
      A spliterator for an array
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the given array is null
