Creating Streams

The document provides an overview of creating streams in Java, detailing methods such as Arrays.stream(), Collection.stream(), Stream.of(), and Files.lines() for different data sources. It also discusses the processing of stream data using the forEach() method and introduces the concept of infinite streams, which can be limited to finite streams using the limit() operation. Additionally, it highlights the importance of variable scope in lambda expressions.

Creating a Stream from an Array
• Arrays.stream() can be used to stream an array.

Creating a Stream from a Collection
• The default Collection interface method stream() is used.

Creating a Stream with Stream.of()
• Stream.of() is a static generically-typed utility method that
accepts a varargs parameter and returns an ordered stream of
those values.

Creating a Stream from a File
• The Files.lines() method can be used to stream a file. It
provides one line at a time from the file as a data element in
the stream.

• To process the data from the stream, we use the Stream


interfaces’ forEach() method, which is a terminal operation.

• Similar to the forEach() for collections, it takes a


Consumer, which enables us to process each line from the
file.

Output

Note that inside the lambda expression, variables from the enclosing scope are either final or effectively final.
This means that while we can add elements to ‘cats’ we cannot change what ‘cats’ refers to i.e. we cannot say
cats=new ArrayList<>();
