import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
/**
 * Emits only the first `count` values emitted by the source Observable.
 *
 * <span class="informal">Takes the first `count` values from the source, then
 * completes.</span>
 *
 * <img src="./img/take.png" width="100%">
 *
 * `take` returns an Observable that emits only the first `count` values emitted
 * by the source Observable. If the source emits fewer than `count` values then
 * all of its values are emitted. After that, it completes, regardless if the
 * source completes.
 *
 * @example <caption>Take the first 5 seconds of an infinite 1-second interval Observable</caption>
 * var interval = Rx.Observable.interval(1000);
 * var five = interval.take(5);
 * five.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
 *
 * @see {@link takeLast}
 * @see {@link takeUntil}
 * @see {@link takeWhile}
 * @see {@link skip}
 *
 * @throws {ArgumentOutOfRangeError} When using `take(i)`, it delivers an
 * ArgumentOutOrRangeError to the Observer's `error` callback if `i < 0`.
 *
 * @param {number} count The maximum number of `next` values to emit.
 * @return {Observable<T>} An Observable that emits only the first `count`
 * values emitted by the source Observable, or all of the values from the source
 * if the source emits fewer than `count` values.
 * @method take
 * @owner Observable
