List.replaceAll(UnaryOperator<E> operator) method in Java

The replaceAll() method of the List interface accept an object of the UnaryOperator representing a particular operation, performs the specified operation on all the elements of the current list and replaces the existing values in the list with their respective results.

Example

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.function.UnaryOperator;
class Op implements UnaryOperator<String> {
   public String apply(String str) {
      return str.toUpperCase();
   }
}
public class Test {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws CloneNotSupportedException {
      ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
      list.add("Java");
      list.add("JavaScript");
      list.add("CoffeeScript");
      list.add("HBase");
      list.add("OpenNLP");
      System.out.println("Contents of the list: "+list);
      list.replaceAll(new Op());
      System.out.println("Contents of the list after replace operation: \n"+list);
   }
}

Output

Contents of the list: [Java, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, HBase, OpenNLP]
Contents of the list after replace operation:[JAVA, JAVASCRIPT, COFFEESCRIPT, HBASE, OPENNLP]
