CopyOnWriteArrayList spliterator() method in Java

The spliterator() method of CopyOnWriteArrayList returns an spliterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence. There is no need of synchronization while operating on the spliterator.

Syntax:

public Spliterator spliterator()

Parameters: The function does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: The function returns an spliterator over the elements in the list.

Below programs illustrate the above function:

Program 1:

// Java Program to illustrate the CopyOnWriteArrayList
// spliterator() method in Java
import java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create object of CopyOnWriteArrayList
        CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer> ArrLis
            = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<Integer>();

        // Add elements
        ArrLis.add(32);
        ArrLis.add(67);
        ArrLis.add(67);
        ArrLis.add(100);

        // print CopyOnWriteArrayList
        System.out.println("CopyOnWriteArrayList: " + ArrLis);

        Spliterator<Integer> numbers = ArrLis.spliterator();

        // print result from Spliterator
        System.out.println("list of Numbers:");

        // forEachRemaining method  of Spliterator
        numbers.forEachRemaining((n) -> System.out.println(n));
    }
}

Output:

CopyOnWriteArrayList: [32, 67, 67, 100]
list of Numbers:
32
67
67
100

Program 2:

// Java Program to illustrate the CopyOnWriteArrayList
// spliterator() method in Java
import java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create object of CopyOnWriteArrayList
        CopyOnWriteArrayList<String> ArrLis
            = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<String>();

        // Add elements
        ArrLis.add("gopal");
        ArrLis.add("gfg");
        ArrLis.add("jgec");
        ArrLis.add("sudo");

        // print CopyOnWriteArrayList
        System.out.println("CopyOnWriteArrayList: " + ArrLis);

        Spliterator<String> numbers = ArrLis.spliterator();

        // print result from Spliterator
        System.out.println("list of strings:");

        // forEachRemaining method  of Spliterator
        numbers.forEachRemaining((n) -> System.out.println(n));
    }
}

Output:

CopyOnWriteArrayList: [gopal, gfg, jgec, sudo]
list of strings:
gopal
gfg
jgec
sudo
