Why doesn't Stream.limit work as expected in this snippet?

Question

List integer = Stream.generate(new Supplier() {
    int i = 0 ;

    @Override
    public Integer get() {
        return ++i;
    }
}).         


        

Answer 1

If you want to stop either if number 5 is reached or 10 elements are collected, there's Stream.takeWhile() method added in Java-9:

List integer = Stream.generate(new Supplier() {
    int i = 0 ;

    @Override
    public Integer get() {
        return ++i;
    }
}).takeWhile(j -> j < 5).limit(10).collect(Collectors.toList());
