Chapter 1: Getting started with java-stream
Remarks
This section provides an overview of what java-stream is, and why a developer might want to use
it.

It should also mention any large subjects within java-stream, and link out to the related topics.
Since the Documentation for java-stream is new, you may need to create initial versions of those
related topics.

What is the Stream API ?

Stream is a new abstract layer introduced in Java 8. A

stream is a sequence of elements (objects, primitive types)
from the stream source. Therefore, stream is not a data
structure and it doesn’t store the elements it works with. It
can be of a finite or infinite size and allow effortless code
parallelism
Advantage's:

• It helps in using data in a declarative way. We can make use of Database functions like Max,

 Min etc., without running a full iteration.
• It makes good use of multi-core architectures without worrying about multi-threading code.
• We can create a pipeline of data operations with Java Stream that can run in a sequence or
in parallel.
• It provides support for group by, order by etc. operations.
• It supports writing for code in Functional programming style.
• It provides parallel processing of data.

How streams work :

Normal Approach (Without using Stream Api) :

List<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<>();

numbers.addAll(Arrays.asList(1, 20, 3, 10, 20, 30, 4, 50, 80, 1, 2));//adding dummy data

int i = 0;
List<String> number_str = new ArrayList<>();
for (Integer num : numbers) {
if (i >= 5)//after 5 loop will stop
break;

if (num >= 10) // check number greater than or equal to 10

{
number_str.add(String.format("Number %d", num));//Typecast Integer to String then
add to String List
i++;//increment i count
}
}

number_str.sort(Comparator.naturalOrder());//sort the list

In Above code we created Integer List and add some data's

then Iterate using for loop. On each loop execution we check
loop count(i >= 5) and num >=10. finally sort the string list.
Now, let’s rewrite the code using Java’s 8 Stream API:

List<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<>();

numbers.addAll(Arrays.asList(1, 20, 3, 10, 20, 30, 4, 50, 80, 1, 2));

List<String> number_str = numbers.stream()

.filter(num -> num >= 10)//check num greater than 10
.limit(5)//stop loop at 5
.sorted()//sort the list
.map(num -> String.format("Number %d", num))//typecast into String List
.collect(Collectors.toList());

Chapter 2: Java 8 – Convert Map to List
Introduction
Convert Map to List in java 8 using stream api

Examples
Java 8 – Convert Map to List

public class ConvertMapToList {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<>();

map.put(10, "apple");
map.put(20, "orange");
map.put(30, "banana");
map.put(40, "watermelon");
map.put(50, "dragonfruit");

System.out.println("\n1. Export Map Key as List of Integrer method 1");

List<Integer> methodOneIntegers= map.entrySet().stream()

.map(x -> x.getKey())
.collect(Collectors.toList());

methodOneIntegers.forEach(System.out::println);

System.out.println("\n1. Export Map Key as List of Integrer method 2");

List<Integer> methodTwoIntegers= map.keySet().stream()

.collect(Collectors.toList());

methodOneIntegers.forEach(System.out::println);

System.out.println("\n2. Export Map Value as List of String method 1");

List<String> methodOneStrings= map.entrySet().stream()

.map(x -> x.getValue())
.collect(Collectors.toList());

methodOneStrings.forEach(System.out::println);

System.out.println("\n2. Export Map Value as List of String method 2");

List<String> methodTwoStrings= map.values().stream()

.map(x -> x.getValue())
.collect(Collectors.toList());

methodTwoStrings.forEach(System.out::println);
