Transform: Skip, Take, First, and Last

Learn about the skip, take, first, and last operators.

Skip

Other handy operators allow us to consume only a subset of the items emitted by the sequence.

The .skip(n) operator ignores the first n items emitted by the sequence and emits the remainder of the sequence. The .skip() operator is also overloaded with .skip(time, timeUnit), which skips any item(s) emitted before the specified time window.
