Introduction to Java Streams

Header Image

  1. What are Java Streams?
    • The article provides an introduction to Java Streams, explaining their definition, purpose, advantages over traditional Java collections, performance benefits, and the role they play in writing more reusable and error-free code.
  2. Why use Java Streams?
    • The article discusses the advantages and performance benefits of using Java Streams over traditional Java collections, including concise code and improved performance through the use of parallel processing.
  3. Stream pipelines
    • The article covers the concept of stream pipelines in Java Streams, including their composition, the role of intermediate and terminal operations, and provides an example of their usage in a treasure hunting scenario.
  4. Intermediate and terminal operations
    • This article covers the concepts of intermediate and terminal operations in Java Streams, including their definitions, examples, and how they can be used to manipulate and process data streams.
  5. Lazy evaluation
    • This article explains lazy evaluation in Java Streams, its benefits such as more efficient processing, handling of infinite streams, reduced memory footprint, better error handling, and chaining of multiple intermediate operations, and encourages the use of lazy evaluation to optimize Java Streams code.
