fun CharSequence.windowedSequence(
    size: Int,
    step: Int = 1,
    partialWindows: Boolean = false
): Sequence<String>

(source)

Returns a sequence of snapshots of the window of the given size sliding along this char sequence with the given step, where each snapshot is a string.

Several last strings may have fewer characters than the given size.

Both size and step must be positive and can be greater than the number of elements in this char sequence.

import kotlin.test.*

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val sequence = generateSequence(1) { it + 1 }

val windows = sequence.windowed(size = 5, step = 1)
println(windows.take(4).toList()) // [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], [3, 4, 5, 6, 7], [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]]

val moreSparseWindows = sequence.windowed(size = 5, step = 3)
println(moreSparseWindows.take(4).toList()) // [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6, 7, 8], [7, 8, 9, 10, 11], [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]]

val fullWindows = sequence.take(10).windowed(size = 5, step = 3)
println(fullWindows.toList()) // [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]]

val partialWindows = sequence.take(10).windowed(size = 5, step = 3, partialWindows = true)
println(partialWindows.toList()) // [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6, 7, 8], [7, 8, 9, 10], [10]]
//sampleEnd
}

Parameters

size - the number of elements to take in each window

step - the number of elements to move the window forward by on an each step, by default 1

partialWindows - controls whether or not to keep partial windows in the end if any, by default false which means partial windows won't be preserved

fun <R> CharSequence.windowedSequence(
    size: Int,
    step: Int = 1,
    partialWindows: Boolean = false,
    transform: (CharSequence) -> R
): Sequence<R>

(source)

Returns a sequence of results of applying the given transform function to an each char sequence representing a view over the window of the given size sliding along this char sequence with the given step.

Note that the char sequence passed to the transform function is ephemeral and is valid only inside that function. You should not store it or allow it to escape in some way, unless you made a snapshot of it. Several last char sequences may have fewer characters than the given size.

Both size and step must be positive and can be greater than the number of elements in this char sequence.

import kotlin.test.*

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val dataPoints = sequenceOf(10, 15, 18, 25, 19, 21, 14, 8, 5)

val averaged = dataPoints.windowed(size = 4, step = 1, partialWindows = true) { window -> window.average() }
println(averaged.toList()) // [17.0, 19.25, 20.75, 19.75, 15.5, 12.0, 9.0, 6.5, 5.0]

val averagedNoPartialWindows = dataPoints.windowed(size = 4, step = 1).map { it.average() }
println(averagedNoPartialWindows.toList()) // [17.0, 19.25, 20.75, 19.75, 15.5, 12.0]
//sampleEnd
}

Parameters

size - the number of elements to take in each window

step - the number of elements to move the window forward by on an each step, by default 1

partialWindows - controls whether or not to keep partial windows in the end if any, by default false which means partial windows won't be preserved
