    • The expected result is random. The change will produce better randomness. If an application expects a specific sequence produced from a specific seed then they may experience issues. However, this is only likely in testing environments.

      Summary

      The salting function for random spliterators produces a constant (same) result.

      Problem

      The implementation has a "not equals" condition in the iteration portion of the algorithm when it should be "equals".

      Solution

      Correct the condition.
