          | Inherited constants | 
        
          | From class Spliterator
                
                  
                    | Int | CONCURRENT
                         Characteristic value signifying that the element source may be safely concurrently modified (allowing additions, replacements, and/or removals) by multiple threads without external synchronization. If so, the Spliterator is expected to have a documented policy concerning the impact of modifications during traversal.  A top-level Spliterator should not report both CONCURRENTandSIZED, since the finite size, if known, may change if the source is concurrently modified during traversal. Such a Spliterator is inconsistent and no guarantees can be made about any computation using that Spliterator. Sub-spliterators may reportSIZEDif the sub-split size is known and additions or removals to the source are not reflected when traversing. A top-level Spliterator should not report both CONCURRENTandIMMUTABLE, since they are mutually exclusive. Such a Spliterator is inconsistent and no guarantees can be made about any computation using that Spliterator. Sub-spliterators may reportIMMUTABLEif additions or removals to the source are not reflected when traversing. |  
                    | Int | DISTINCT
                         Characteristic value signifying that, for each pair of encountered elements x, y,!x.equals(y). This applies for example, to a Spliterator based on aSet. |  
                    | Int | IMMUTABLE
                         Characteristic value signifying that the element source cannot be structurally modified; that is, elements cannot be added, replaced, or removed, so such changes cannot occur during traversal. A Spliterator that does not report IMMUTABLEorCONCURRENTis expected to have a documented policy (for example throwingConcurrentModificationException) concerning structural interference detected during traversal. |  
                    | Int | NONNULL
                         Characteristic value signifying that the source guarantees that encountered elements will not be null. (This applies, for example, to most concurrent collections, queues, and maps.) |  
                    | Int | ORDERED
                         Characteristic value signifying that an encounter order is defined for elements. If so, this Spliterator guarantees that method trySplitsplits a strict prefix of elements, that methodtryAdvancesteps by one element in prefix order, and thatforEachRemainingperforms actions in encounter order. A Collectionhas an encounter order if the correspondingCollection.iteratordocuments an order. If so, the encounter order is the same as the documented order. Otherwise, a collection does not have an encounter order. |  
                    | Int | SIZED
                         Characteristic value signifying that the value returned from estimateSize()prior to traversal or splitting represents a finite size that, in the absence of structural source modification, represents an exact count of the number of elements that would be encountered by a complete traversal. |  
                    | Int | SORTED
                         Characteristic value signifying that encounter order follows a defined sort order. If so, method getComparator()returns the associated Comparator, ornullif all elements areComparableand are sorted by their natural ordering. A Spliterator that reports SORTEDmust also reportORDERED. |  
                    | Int | SUBSIZED
                         Characteristic value signifying that all Spliterators resulting from trySplit()will be bothSIZEDandSUBSIZED. (This means that all child Spliterators, whether direct or indirect, will beSIZED.) A Spliterator that does not report SIZEDas required bySUBSIZEDis inconsistent and no guarantees can be made about any computation using that Spliterator. |  |

                    | Int | characteristics()
                         Returns a set of characteristics of this Spliterator and its elements. The result is represented as ORed values from ORDERED,DISTINCT,SORTED,SIZED,NONNULL,IMMUTABLE,CONCURRENT,SUBSIZED. Repeated calls tocharacteristics()on a given spliterator, prior to or in-between calls totrySplit, should always return the same result. If a Spliterator reports an inconsistent set of characteristics (either those returned from a single invocation or across multiple invocations), no guarantees can be made about any computation using this Spliterator. |  
                    | Long | estimateSize()
                         Returns an estimate of the number of elements that would be encountered by a forEachRemainingtraversal, or returnsjava.lang.Long#MAX_VALUEif infinite, unknown, or too expensive to compute. If this Spliterator is SIZEDand has not yet been partially traversed or split, or this Spliterator isSUBSIZEDand has not yet been partially traversed, this estimate must be an accurate count of elements that would be encountered by a complete traversal. Otherwise, this estimate may be arbitrarily inaccurate, but must decrease as specified across invocations oftrySplit. |  
                    | Unit | forEachRemaining(action: Consumer<in T>!)
                         Performs the given action for each remaining element, sequentially in the current thread, until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception. If this Spliterator is ORDERED, actions are performed in encounter order. Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.  Subsequent behavior of a spliterator is unspecified if the action throws an exception. |  
                    | Comparator<in T>! | getComparator()
                         If this Spliterator's source is SORTEDby aComparator, returns thatComparator. If the source isSORTEDin natural order, returnsnull. Otherwise, if the source is notSORTED, throwsIllegalStateException. |  
                    | Long | getExactSizeIfKnown()
                         Convenience method that returns estimateSize()if this Spliterator isSIZED, else-1. |  
                    | Boolean | hasCharacteristics(characteristics: Int)
                         Returns trueif this Spliterator'scharacteristicscontain all of the given characteristics. |  
                    | Boolean | tryAdvance(action: Consumer<in T>!)
                         If a remaining element exists: performs the given action on it, returning true; else returnsfalse. If this Spliterator isORDEREDthe action is performed on the next element in encounter order. Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.  Subsequent behavior of a spliterator is unspecified if the action throws an exception. |  |
