Exercises Streams 1

The document describes a series of exercises using Java streams to process lists of strings. The exercises include: 1) Printing each string on a new line with/without spacing; 2) Transforming lists by uppercasing, adding punctuation, etc. using map; 3) Filtering lists using criteria like length or containing a substring using filter; 4) Combining filtering and mapping to selectively transform strings; 5) Demonstrating lazy evaluation; and 6) Converting the stream output to an array.

Exercises: Streams Part 1

For all the exercises, start with a List of Strings similar to this:
• List<String> words = Arrays.asList("hi", "hello", ...);

1. Loop down the words and print each on a separate line, with two spaces in front of each word.
Don’t use map.

2. Repeat the previous problem, but without the two spaces in front. This is trivial if you use the same
approach as in #1, so the point is to use a method reference here, as opposed to an explicit lambda
in problem 1.

3. In the previous exercise, we produced transformed lists like this:


• List<String> excitingWords = StringUtils.transformedList(words, s -> s + "!");
• List<String> eyeWords = StringUtils.transformedList(words, s -> s.replace("i", "eye"));
• List<String> upperCaseWords = StringUtils.transformedList(words, String::toUpperCase);
Produce the same lists as above, but this time use streams and the builtin “map” method.

4. In the previous exercise, we produced filtered lists like this:


• List<String> shortWords = StringUtils.allMatches(words, s -> s.length() < 4);
• List<String> wordsWithB = StringUtils.allMatches(words, s -> s.contains("b"));
• List<String> evenLengthWords = StringUtils.allMatches(words, s -> (s.length() % 2) == 0);
Produce the same lists as above, but this time use “filter”.

5. Turn the strings into uppercase, keep only the ones that are shorter than 4 characters, of what is
remaining, keep only the ones that contain “E”, and print the first result. Repeat the process, except
checking for a “Q” instead of an “E”. When checking for the “Q”, try to avoid repeating all the
code from when you checked for an “E”.

6. The above example uses lazy evaluation, but it is not easy to see that it is doing so. Make a varia-
tion of the above example that proves that it is doing lazy evaluation. One way to do this is to track
which entries are turned into upper case.

7. Take one of the previous examples where you produced a List, but this time output the final result
as an array instead of a List. This is super-easy once you know how, and the class notes show this.
But, the syntax looks very odd when you first see it.
