Range Over Channels in Minitab

Based on the provided input, here’s the translation of the Go code to Java, formatted in Markdown suitable for Hugo:

Our example demonstrates how to iterate over values received from a channel-like structure in Java. Since Java doesn’t have built-in channels like Go, we’ll use a BlockingQueue to simulate similar behavior.

import java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue;
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue;

public class RangeOverChannels {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        // We'll iterate over 2 values in the queue.
        BlockingQueue<String> queue = new LinkedBlockingQueue<>(2);
        queue.put("one");
        queue.put("two");

        // This loop iterates over each element as it's received from queue.
        // Because we don't add any more elements after the initial two,
        // the iteration terminates after receiving the 2 elements.
        while (!queue.isEmpty()) {
            String elem = queue.take();
            System.out.println(elem);
        }
    }
}

To run the program:

$ javac RangeOverChannels.java
$ java RangeOverChannels
one
two

This example also shows that it’s possible to iterate over a non-empty queue and still process all the remaining values. In Java, we use a while loop to check if the queue is empty, which is analogous to the channel being closed in the Go example.

Note that Java’s BlockingQueue doesn’t have a direct equivalent to Go’s channel closing mechanism. If you need to signal that no more items will be added, you might use a separate flag or a poison pill object to indicate the end of the queue.
