Intermediate Operations

The document discusses various intermediate operations in streams, including filter(), distinct(), limit(), map(), flatMap(), and sorted(). Each operation has specific functionalities, such as removing duplicates, transforming data, and sorting elements. These operations are stateful and produce a stream as a result, unlike terminal operations.

Streams

Intermediate Operations

Copyright © Seán Kennedy


Intermediate Operations
filter()

• Unlike a terminal operation, an intermediate operation


produces a stream as a result.

Intermediate Operations
distinct()

• distinct() returns a stream with duplicate values removed.


• equals() is used i.e. case sensitive.

• distinct() is a stateful intermediate operation.


• it behaves like a filter – if it has not seen the object previously, it
passes it on and remembers it; if it has seen it already, it filters it
out.

Intermediate Operations
limit()
• limit() is a short-circuiting stateful intermediate operation.

Intermediate Operations
map()
• map() creates a one-to-one mapping between elements in
the stream and elements in the next stage of the stream.

• map() is for transforming data.

Intermediate Operations
flatMap()
• flatMap() takes each element in the stream
e.g. Stream<List<String>> and makes any elements it contains
top-level elements in a single stream e.g. Stream<String>.

Intermediate Operations
sorted()
• sorted() returns a stream with the elements sorted.

• Just like sorting arrays, Java uses natural ordering unless we


provide a comparator.

• sorted() is a stateful intermediate operation; it needs to see


all of the data before it can sort it.
