# take method

Iterable<E> take (int count)

Returns a lazy iterable of the `count` first elements of this iterable.

The returned `Iterable` may contain fewer than `count` elements, if `this` contains fewer than `count` elements.

The elements can be computed by stepping through iterator until `count` elements have been seen.

The `count` must not be negative.

## Implementation

    Iterable<E> take(int count) => new SubListIterable<E>(this, 0, count);
