different ways to create stream in java with example
Certainly! Here are several different ways to create a Stream in Java along with examples:
1. **From a Collection:**
List<Integer> numbers = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
Stream<Integer> streamFromCollection = numbers.stream();
2. **From an Array:**
String[] array = {"apple", "banana", "orange"};
Stream<String> streamFromArray = Arrays.stream(array);
3. **Using Stream.of() for Individual Elements:**
Stream<String> streamOfElements = Stream.of("apple", "banana", "orange");
4. **Generating Streams with Stream.generate():**
Stream<String> generatedStream = Stream.generate(() -> "Hello");
5. **Iterating with Stream.iterate():**
Stream<Integer> iteratedStream = Stream.iterate(0, n -> n + 2).limit(5);
6. **From a Range of Values:**
IntStream rangeStream = IntStream.range(1, 6);ca
7. **From a Range of Values (Inclusive):**
IntStream rangeClosedStream = IntStream.rangeClosed(1, 5);
8. **Creating an Empty Stream:**
Stream<Object> emptyStream = Stream.empty();
How to iterate/print a stream:
To iterate or print the elements of a Stream in Java, you can use various methods provided by the
Stream API. Here are a few common approaches:
1. **Using forEach():**
You can use the forEach() method to perform an action for each element in the stream.
Stream<String> stream = Stream.of("apple", "banana", "orange");
stream.forEach(System.out::println);
2. **Using forEachOrdered():**
This method is similar to forEach(), but it guarantees that the elements are processed in the order
specified by the stream.
Stream<String> stream = Stream.of("apple", "banana", "orange");
stream.forEachOrdered(System.out::println);
3. **Converting to List and Using Iterator:**
You can convert the stream to a List and then use an Iterator to iterate over the elements.
Stream<String> stream = Stream.of("apple", "banana", "orange");
List<String> list = stream.collect(Collectors.toList());
Iterator<String> iterator = list.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(iterator.next());
}
