Lambda Expressions with Collections

Collection is nothing but a group of objects represented as a single entity.
The important Collection types are:

1. List(I)
2. Set(I)
3. Map(I)

1. List(I):
If we want to represent a group of objects as a single entity where duplicate objects are allowed
and insertion order is preserved then we shoud go for List.

1. Insertion order is preserved

2. Duplicate objects are allowed

The main implementation classes of List interface are:

1. ArrayList 2. LinkedList 3. Vector 4. Stack

Demo Program to describe List Properties:

1) import java.util.ArrayList;
2) class Test
3) {
4) public static void main(String[] args)
5) {
6) ArrayList<String> l = new ArrayList<String>();
7) l.add("Sunny");
8) l.add("Bunny");
9) l.add("Chinny");
10) l.add("Sunny");
11) System.out.println(l);
12) }
13) }

Output:[Sunny, Bunny, Chinny, Sunny]

Note: List(may be ArrayList,LinkedList,Vector or Stack) never talks about sorting order. If we want
sorting for the list then we should use Collections class sort() method.

Collecttions.sort(list)==>meant for Default Natural Sorting Order

Collections.sort(list,Comparator)==>meant for Customized Sorting Order

2. Set(I):
If we want to represent a group of individual objects as a single entity where duplicate objects are
not allowed and insertion order is not preserved then we should go for Set.

1. Insertion order is not preserved

2. Duplicates are not allowed.If we are trying to add duplicates then we won't get any error, just
add() method returns false.

The following are important Set implementation classes

1. HashSet 2.TreeSet etc

Demo Program for Set:

1) import java.util.HashSet;
2) class Test
3) {
4) public static void main(String[] args)
5) {
6) HashSet<String> l = new HashSet<String>();
7) l.add("Sunny");
8) l.add("Bunny");
9) l.add("Chinny");
10) l.add("Sunny");
11) System.out.println(l);
12) }
13) }

Output: [Chinny, Bunny, Sunny]

Note: In the case of Set, if we want sorting order then we should go for: TreeSet

3. Map(I):
If we want to represent objects as key-value pairs then we should go for
Map

Eg:
Rollno-->Name
mobilenumber-->address

The important implementation classes of Map are:

1. HashMap 2. TreeMap etc

2) class Test
3) {
4) public static void main(String[] args)
5) {
6) HashMap<String,String> m= new HashMap<String,String>();
7) m.put("A","Apple");
8) m.put("Z","Zebra");
9) m.put("Durga","Java");
10) m.put("B","Boy");
11) m.put("T","Tiger");
12) System.out.println(m);
13) }
14) }

Output: {A=Apple, B=Boy, T=Tiger, Z=Zebra, Durga=Java}

Sorted Collections:
1. Sorted List
2. Sorted Set
3. Sorted Map

1. Sorted List:
List(may be ArrayList,LinkedList,Vector or Stack) never talks about sorting order. If we want
sorting for the list then we should use Collections class sort() method.

Collecttions.sort(list)==>meant for Default Natural Sorting Order

For String objects: Alphabetical Order

For Numbers : Ascending order

Instead of Default natural sorting order if we want customized sorting order then we should go for
Comparator interface.

Comparator interface contains only one abstract method: compare()

Hence it is Functional interface.

public int compare(obj1,obj2)

returns -ve iff obj1 has to come before obj2
returns +ve iff obj1 has to come after obj2
returns 0 iff obj1 and obj2 are equal

Collections.sort(list,Comparator)==>meant for Customized Sorting Order

Sorting with Lambda Expressions:

As Comparator is Functional interface, we can replace its implementation with Lambda Expression

Collections.sort(l,(I1,I2)->(I1<I2)?1:(I1>I2)?-1:0);

Demo Program to Sort elements of ArrayList according to Customized Sorting Order By

using Lambda Expressions(Descending Order):

1) import java.util.ArrayList;
2) import java.util.Collections;
3) class Test
4) {
5) public static void main(String[] args)
6) {
7) ArrayList<Integer> l= new ArrayList<Integer>();
8) l.add(10);
9) l.add(0);
10) l.add(15);
11) l.add(5);
12) l.add(20);
13) System.out.println("Before Sorting:"+l);
14) Collections.sort(l,(I1,I2)->(I1<I2)?1:(I1>I2)?-1:0);
15) System.out.println("After Sorting:"+l);
16) }
17) }

Output:
Before Sorting:[10, 0, 15, 5, 20]
After Sorting:[20, 15, 10, 5, 0]

2. Sorted Set
In the case of Set, if we want Sorting order then we should go for TreeSet

1. TreeSet t = new TreeSet();

This TreeSet object meant for default natural sorting order

2. TreeSet t = new TreeSet(Comparator c);

This TreeSet object meant for Customized Sorting Order

Demo Program for Default Natural Sorting Order(Ascending Order):

1) import java.util.TreeSet;
2) class Test
3) {
4) public static void main(String[] args)

11) t.add(20);
12) System.out.println(t);
13) }
14) }

Output: [0, 5, 10, 15, 20]

Demo Program for Customized Sorting Order(Descending Order):

1) import java.util.TreeSet;
2) class Test
3) {
4) public static void main(String[] args)
5) {
6) TreeSet<Integer> t = new TreeSet<Integer>((I1,I2)->(I1>I2)?-1:(I1<I2)?1:0);
7) t.add(10);
8) t.add(0);
9) t.add(15);
10) t.add(25);
11) t.add(5);
12) t.add(20);
13) System.out.println(t);
14) }
15) }

Output: [25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 0]

3. Sorted Map:
In the case of Map, if we want default natural sorting order of keys then we should go for
TreeMap.

1. TreeMap m = new TreeMap();

This TreeMap object meant for default natural sorting order of keys

2. TreeMap t = new TreeMap(Comparator c);

This TreeMap object meant for Customized Sorting Order of keys
