Takes a specified number of elements from the beginning of an async iterable.

import { take } from "./take.ts";
import { count } from "./infinite.ts";

const iterable = take(count(0, 5), 3);
for await (const value of iterable) {
  console.log(value);
}

The above example will print the following 3 lines:

0
5
10

If the iterable is shorter than the specified number, the whole elements are taken.

import { take } from "./take.ts";

async function* gen() { yield "foo"; yield "bar"; yield "baz"; }
const iterable = take(gen(), 5);
for await (const value of iterable) console.log(value);

The above example will print only 3 elements, because gen() yields only 3 elements:

foo
bar
baz
