Java 8 Streams

Sum stream elements

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;
public class App {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int[] nums = {0,1,2,3,4,5,0,1,2,3,4,5};
		int sum1 = IntStream.of(nums).sum(); // Or IntStream.of(0,1,2,3,4,5,0,1,2,3,4,5).sum();
		int sum2 = Arrays.stream(nums).sum();
		System.out.println(sum1 + "," + (sum1==sum2));  // 30,true
	}
}

range() and rangeClosed()

public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       System.out.println("Sum :"+IntStream.range(1, 5).sum());  // Sum :10
       System.out.println("Sum :"+IntStream.rangeClosed(1, 5).sum());  // Sum :15
    }
}

Removing duplicates

import java.util.stream.IntStream;
public class App {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int[] nums = {0,1,2,3,4,5,0,1,2,3,4,5};
		IntStream.of(nums)
		         .distinct()
		         .forEach((num) -> System.out.print(num+", ")); // 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
	}
}

Filter elements

import java.util.stream.IntStream;
public class App {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int[] nums = {0,1,2,3,4,5,0,1,2,3,4,5};
		IntStream.of(nums)
		         .distinct()
		         .filter((num) -> num % 2 == 0)
		         .forEach((num) -> System.out.print(num+", ")); // 0, 2, 4, 
	}
}

Using map() and collecting the proccessed list

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
public class App {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		List<String> words = Arrays.asList("Java", "8", "Streams");
		List<Integer> wordLengths = 
		    words.stream()
		         .map(str -> str.length())
		         .collect(Collectors.toList());
		System.out.println(wordLengths); // [4,1,7]
	}
}

Stream of Objects

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
public class App {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		List<Integer> numbers = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8);
		List<Integer> twoEvenSquares = 
		    numbers.stream()
		           .filter(n -> {
		                    System.out.println("filtering " + n); 
		                    return n % 2 == 0;
		                  })
		           .map(n -> {
		                    System.out.println("mapping " + n);
		                    return n * n;
		                  })
		           .limit(2)
		           .collect(Collectors.toList());
		System.out.println("Output :"+twoEvenSquares);
	}
}

Output

filtering 1
filtering 2
mapping 2
filtering 3
filtering 4
mapping 4
Output :[4, 16]

Using flatMap() to flatten a stream of nested collection objects e.g. List<List> listOfLists

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
public class App {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		 // List of lists of integers
        List<List<Integer>> listOfLists = Arrays.asList(
            Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3),
            Arrays.asList(4, 5, 6),
            Arrays.asList(7, 8, 9)
        );

        // Using flatMap to flatten the list of lists into a single list
        List<Integer> flattenedList = 
        		listOfLists.stream()
                           .flatMap(list -> list.stream()) // Flatten the inner lists
                           .collect(Collectors.toList());

        // Print the flattened list
        System.out.println(flattenedList); //[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
	}
}

Using flatMap() to create stream of single(atomic) elements e.g. number, string etc.

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
public class App {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		List<String> sentences = Arrays.asList("Hello World", "Java Streams", "flatMap Example");
		List<String> words = sentences.stream()
		                              .flatMap(sentence -> Arrays.stream(sentence.split(" ")))
		                              .collect(Collectors.toList());

		System.out.println(words); // [Hello, World, Java, Streams, flatMap, Example]
	}
}

Using toMap() Collector to create a Map after processing the stream

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

class Employee {
    private int id;
    private String name;
    private String department;
    public Employee(int id, String name, String department) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.department = department;
    }
    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public String getDepartment() {
        return department;
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "{id=" + id + ", name='" + name + "', department='" + department + "'}";
    }
}

public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Employee> employees = Arrays.asList(
            new Employee(101, "Alice", "HR"),
            new Employee(102, "Bob", "Finance"),
            new Employee(103, "Charlie", "IT"),
            new Employee(104, "David", "HR")
        );

        // Convert the list to a map with employee ID as key and employee name as value
        Map<Integer, String> employeeMap = employees.stream()
            .collect(Collectors.toMap((emp) -> emp.getId(), (emp) -> emp.getName()));

        System.out.println("Employee Map: " + employeeMap);
        // Employee Map: {101=Alice, 102=Bob, 103=Charlie, 104=David}

        // Another use case: Creating a map with employee ID as key and the whole Employee object as value
        Map<Integer, Employee> employeeDetailMap = employees.stream()
            .collect(Collectors.toMap((emp) -> emp.getId(), (emp) -> emp));

        System.out.println("Employee Detail Map: " + employeeDetailMap);
        // Employee Detail Map: {101={id=101, name='Alice', department='HR'}, 102={id=102, name='Bob', department='Finance'}, 103={id=103, name='Charlie', department='IT'}, 104={id=104, name='David', department='HR'}}
    }
