IntStream reduce(IntBinaryOperator op) in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 06 Dec, 2018

IntStream reduce(IntBinaryOperator op) performs a reduction on the elements of this stream, using an associative accumulation function, and returns an OptionalInt describing the reduced value, if any. A reduction operation or fold takes a sequence of input elements and combines them into a single summary result, such as finding the sum or maximum of a set of numbers. An operator or function op is associative if the following holds :

(a op b) op c == a op (b op c)

This is a terminal operation i.e, it may traverse the stream to produce a result or a side-effect. After the terminal operation is performed, the stream pipeline is considered consumed, and can no longer be used. Syntax :

OptionalInt reduce(IntBinaryOperator op)

Parameters :

OptionalInt : A container object which may or may not contain a int value. If a value is present, isPresent() will return true and getAsInt() will return the value.
IntBinaryOperator : An operation upon two int-valued operands and producing an int-valued result.
op : An associative, stateless function for combining two values.

Return Value : An OptionalInt describing the reduced value, if any. Example 1 :

Java

// Java code for IntStream reduce
// (IntBinaryOperator op)
import java.util.OptionalInt;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Creating an IntStream
        IntStream stream = IntStream.of(2, 3, 4, 5, 6);

        // Using OptionalInt (a container object which
        // may or may not contain a non-null value)
        // Using IntStream reduce(IntBinaryOperator op)
        OptionalInt answer = stream.reduce(Integer::sum);

        // if the stream is empty, an empty
        // OptionalInt is returned.
        if (answer.isPresent()) {
            System.out.println(answer.getAsInt());
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("no value");
        }
    }
}

Output :

Example 2 :

Java

// Java code for IntStream reduce
// (IntBinaryOperator op)
import java.util.OptionalInt;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Creating an IntStream
        IntStream stream = IntStream.of(2, 3, 4, 5, 6);

        // Using OptionalInt (a container object which
        // may or may not contain a non-null value)
        // Using IntStream reduce(IntBinaryOperator op)
        OptionalInt answer = stream.reduce((a, b) -> (a * b));

        // if the stream is empty, an empty
        // OptionalInt is returned.
        if (answer.isPresent()) {
            System.out.println(answer.getAsInt());
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("no value");
        }
    }
}
