How to Convert Stream to ArrayList in Java 8 - Collectors.toCollection() Example

You can use Collectors.toList(), toSet(), and toMap() to get all elements of Stream into any Collection like List, Set or Map, but if you want to get a particular collection e.g. ArrayList, then you need to use Collectors.toCollection(ArrayList::new) method. This method first creates an ArrayList using method reference and then adds all elements of Stream into the ArrayList. It's very useful if you have a long list of String and you want to create a smaller list containing only String starting with the letter "b" like "Bluehost".

3 Examples to Loop over a List in Java - ArrayList, LinkedList or Vector

3 ways to Loop through a List in Java

There are multiple ways to traverse or loop through a List in Java e.g. by using an Iterator, by using an enhanced for loop of Java 5, and not the forEach() method of Java 8. Given a List is an index-based collection if you know the index you can retrieve an object from a List and because of this, you can also use a traditional for loop which keeps count for iterating a List. Now the question is whether should you use the Iterator or enhanced for loop, or the forEach() method of Java 8 for looping over List in Java.

Java 8 - Map and Reduce Example

Hello folks, the map-reduce concept is one of the powerful concepts in computer programming, particularly on functional programming which utilizes the power of distributed and parallel processing to solve a big and heavy problem in a quick time. From Java 8 onwards, Java also got this powerful feature from the functional programming world. Many of the services provided on the internet like Google Search are based on the concept of the map and reduce. In map-reduce, a job is usually split from the input data-set into independent chunks which are processed by the map tasks in a completely parallel manner.

Node.js takes that to the next level by allowing JavaScript to run on a server-side, which means you can now write JavaScript applications that can execute without a browser. Node JS uses Google Chrome's execution engine and asynchronous processing to do this. All you need to is include a node.js script in your application, and you are ready to create server-side applications in JavaScript, which wasn't possible until a few years back.

Difference between private and final class, method, and variables in Java?

Hello guys, one of the common questions among Java beginners is what is the difference between a private and final keyword in Java? The confusion arises because they are very similar and used in a similar context. For example, you can make a class, a method, and variable final as well as private. Both put some kind of restriction like you cannot override a final method in Java and the private method is not even accessible outside the class, so obviously you cannot override it. The main difference between private and final keywords in Java is that private is primarily an access modifier, which controls the visibility of variables, methods, and classes in Java applications, while final is just a modifier that enforces additional constraints on the field, method, and class in Java.
