ArrayList spliterator() method in Java

The spliterator() method of ArrayList returns a Spliterator of the same elements as ArrayList but created Spliterator is late-binding and fail-fast. A late-binding Spliterator binds to the source of elements. It means that Arraylist at the point of first traversal, first split, or first query for estimated size, rather than at the time the Spliterator is created. It can be used with Streams in Java 8. Also it can traverse elements individually and in bulk too. Spliterator is better way to traverse over element because it provides more control on elements.

Syntax:

public Spliterator<E> spliterator()

Returns: This method returns a Spliterator over the elements in ArrayList.

Below programs illustrate spliterator() method of ArrayList:

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