For a primitive stream like IntStream, IntStream.of() works in
similar way (also the empty method). IntStream.of(new int[]{}) also returns an empty stream.
The Arrays class has stream creation methods which accept an
array of primitives or an object type. This can be used to create
an empty stream; e.g.,: System.out.println(Arrays.stream(new int[]{}).count()); prints zero.
Any stream created from a collection (like a List or Set) with
zero elements can return an empty stream; for example: new ArrayList<Integer>().stream() returns an empty stream of type Integer.
