Java_Stream_API_1740049148

The Stream API in Java, introduced in Java 8, allows for functional programming to process sequences of elements in a declarative way, simplifying data manipulation and enhancing readability. It supports both intermediate operations, like filtering and mapping, and terminal operations, such as forEach and collect, while also enabling parallel processing for improved performance. Key features include lazy evaluation, immutability, and the ability to utilize multiple CPU cores.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 API
The Stream API, introduced in Java 8,
provides a functional programming
approach to process sequences of
elements in a declarative manner. It's
not about storing data but rather about
processing it!

1
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 API
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁?
1. Simplifies data manipulation with
functional operations like filtering,
mapping, and reducing.

2. Enhances readability and reduces


boilerplate code.

3. Supports parallel processing to


leverage multi-core processors for
better performance.

2
𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺
Streams can be created from
collections, arrays, or custom sources.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Used to transform or filter data; these


operations are lazy and return a
stream.

● filter(): Filters elements based on a


condition.

● map(): Transforms each element


using a function.

● sorted(): Sorts elements in natural or


custom order.

𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Trigger the processing and return a
non-stream result.

● forEach(): Iterates over elements.

● collect(): Gathers results into a


collection.

● reduce(): Reduces elements to a


single value.

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁-𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴
𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Terminate the stream early for
efficiency.

● limit(): Limits the number of


elements.

● findFirst(): Returns the first element.

What Are Parallel
Streams?
Parallel Streams split a data source
into multiple chunks and process them
concurrently using the Fork/Join
framework. This can significantly
improve performance for large data
sets.

11
When Not to Use
Parallel Streams?
● Small data sets where overhead
outweighs performance gains.

● Non-thread-safe operations, as
parallel streams may lead to race
conditions.

● Operations with dependencies, where


sequential execution is required.

Advantages of Parallel
Streams
● Faster execution for large data sets.

● Utilizes multiple CPU cores.

● Simplifies parallel programming.

14
Advantages of the
Stream API
● Simplifies data processing with less
boilerplate.

● Supports parallel processing for


better performance.

● Encourages functional programming


principles.

15
𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗔𝗣𝗜
● 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲: Supports Functional
programming with lambda
expressions.

● 𝗟𝗮𝘇𝘆 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Operations Are


executed only when a terminal
operation is invoked.

● 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀: Enables Efficient


processing using multiple threads.

● 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Does not Modify the


original data source.
