LongStream rangeClosed() in Java

LongStream rangeClosed(long startInclusive, long endInclusive) returns an LongStream from startInclusive (inclusive) to endInclusive (inclusive) by an incremental step of 1.

Syntax :

static LongStream rangeClosed(long startInclusive, long endInclusive)

Parameters :

1. LongStream : A sequence of primitive long-valued elements.
2. startInclusive : The inclusive initial value.
3. endInclusive : The inclusive upper bound.

Return Value : A sequential LongStream for the range of long elements.

Example :

// Implementation of LongStream rangeClosed
// (long startInclusive, long endInclusive)
import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.LongStream;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Creating an LongStream
        LongStream stream = LongStream.rangeClosed(-4L, 3L);

        // Displaying the elements in range
        // including the lower and upper bound
        stream.forEach(System.out::println);
    }
}

Output:

-4
-3
-2
-1
0
1
2
3

Note : LongStream rangeClosed(long startInclusive, long endInclusive) basically works like a for loop. An equivalent sequence of increasing values can be produced sequentially as :

for (int i = startInclusive; i <= endInclusive ; i++) 
{
 ...
 ...
 ...
}
