The Java 8 release of Java Programming language was a game-changer version. It not only provided some useful methods but totally changed the way you write programs in Java. The most significant change it brings in the mindset of Java developers was to think functional and supported that by providing critical features like lambda expression and Stream API, which takes advantage of parallel processing and functional operations like filter, map, flatMap, etc. Since then, a lot of Java developers are trying their hands to learn those significant changes like lambda expression, method reference, new Date and Time classes, and, more importantly, Stream API for bulk data operations.
How to debug Java 8 Stream Pipeline - peek() method Example Tutorial
Hello guys, I have been writing about some important methods from Java SE 8 like map(), flatMap(), collect(), etc for quite some time, and today I'll share my experience with another useful method peek() from java.utill.stream.Stream class. The peek() method of the Stream class can be very useful to debug and understand streams in Java 8. You can use the peek() method to see the elements as they flow from one step to another like when you use the filter() method for filtering, you can actually see how filtering is working like lazy evaluation as well as which elements are filtered.
How to convert ArrayList to HashMap and LinkedHashMap in Java 8 - Example Tutorial
One of the common tasks in Java is to convert a List of objects, like a List<T> into a Map, I mean Map<K, V>, where K is some property of the object and V is the actual object. For example, suppose you have a List<Order>, and you want to convert it into a Map, e.g. Map<OrderId, Order>, how do you that? Well, the simplest way to achieve this is iterating over List and add each element to the Map by extracting keys and using the actual element as an object. This is exactly what many of us do in the pre-Java 8 world, but JDK 8 has made it even simpler.
Java 8 Stream map() function Example with Explanation
The map is a well-known functional programming concept that is incorporated into Java 8. Map is a function defined in java.util.stream.Streams class, which is used to transform each element of the stream by applying a function to each element. Because of this property, you can use a map() in Java 8 to transform a Collection, List, Set, or Map. For example, if you have a list of String and you want to convert all of them into upper case, how will you do this? Prior to Java 8, there is no function to do this.
