T - the type of the stream elementspublic interface Stream<T> extends BaseStream<T,Stream<T>>
Stream and IntStream:
int sum = widgets.stream()
.filter(w -> w.getColor() == RED)
.mapToInt(w -> w.getWeight())
.sum();
widgets is a Collection<Widget>. We create
a stream of Widget objects via Collection.stream(),
filter it to produce a stream containing only the red widgets, and then
transform it into a stream of int values representing the weight of
each red widget. Then this stream is summed to produce a total weight.
In addition to Stream, which is a stream of object references,
there are primitive specializations for IntStream, LongStream,
and DoubleStream, all of which are referred to as "streams" and
conform to the characteristics and restrictions described here.
To perform a computation, stream
operations are composed into a
stream pipeline. A stream pipeline consists of a source (which
might be an array, a collection, a generator function, an I/O channel,
etc), zero or more intermediate operations (which transform a
stream into another stream, such as filter(Predicate)), and a
terminal operation (which produces a result or side-effect, such
as count() or forEach(Consumer)).
Streams are lazy; computation on the source data is only performed when the
terminal operation is initiated, and source elements are consumed only
as needed.
Collections and streams, while bearing some superficial similarities,
have different goals. Collections are primarily concerned with the efficient
management of, and access to, their elements. By contrast, streams do not
provide a means to directly access or manipulate their elements, and are
instead concerned with declaratively describing their source and the
computational operations which will be performed in aggregate on that source.
However, if the provided stream operations do not offer the desired
functionality, the BaseStream.iterator() and BaseStream.spliterator() operations
can be used to perform a controlled traversal.
A stream pipeline, like the "widgets" example above, can be viewed as
a query on the stream source. Unless the source was explicitly
designed for concurrent modification (such as a ConcurrentHashMap),
unpredictable or erroneous behavior may result from modifying the stream
source while it is being queried.
Most stream operations accept parameters that describe user-specified
behavior, such as the lambda expression w -> w.getWeight() passed to
mapToInt in the example above. To preserve correct behavior,
these behavioral parameters:
Such parameters are always instances of a
functional interface such
as Function, and are often lambda expressions or
method references. Unless otherwise specified these parameters must be
non-null.
A stream should be operated on (invoking an intermediate or terminal stream
operation) only once. This rules out, for example, "forked" streams, where
the same source feeds two or more pipelines, or multiple traversals of the
same stream. A stream implementation may throw IllegalStateException
if it detects that the stream is being reused. However, since some stream
operations may return their receiver rather than a new stream object, it may
not be possible to detect reuse in all cases.
Streams have a BaseStream.close() method and implement AutoCloseable,
but nearly all stream instances do not actually need to be closed after use.
Generally, only streams whose source is an IO channel (such as those returned
by Files.lines(Path, Charset)) will require closing. Most streams
are backed by collections, arrays, or generating functions, which require no
special resource management. (If a stream does require closing, it can be
declared as a resource in a try-with-resources statement.)
Stream pipelines may execute either sequentially or in
parallel. This
execution mode is a property of the stream. Streams are created
with an initial choice of sequential or parallel execution. (For example,
Collection.stream() creates a sequential stream,
and Collection.parallelStream() creates
a parallel one.) This choice of execution mode may be modified by the
BaseStream.sequential() or BaseStream.parallel() methods, and may be queried with
the BaseStream.isParallel() method.

an empty stream is used, instead.)
This is an intermediate operation.
flatMap() operation has the effect of applying a one-to-many
transformation to the elements of the stream, and then flattening the
resulting elements into a new stream.
Examples.
If orders is a stream of purchase orders, and each purchase
order contains a collection of line items, then the following produces a
stream containing all the line items in all the orders:
orders.flatMap(order -> order.getLineItems().stream())...
If path is the path to a file, then the following produces a
stream of the words contained in that file:
Stream<String> lines = Files.lines(path, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
Stream<String> words = lines.flatMap(line -> Stream.of(line.split(" +")));
mapper function passed to flatMap splits a line,
using a simple regular expression, into an array of words, and then
creates a stream of words from that array.R - The element type of the new streammapper - a non-interfering,

For ordered streams, the selection of distinct elements is stable (for duplicated elements, the element appearing first in the encounter order is preserved.) For unordered streams, no stability guarantees are made.
This is a stateful intermediate operation.
distinct() in parallel pipelines is
relatively expensive (requires that the operation act as a full barrier,
with substantial buffering overhead), and stability is often not needed.
Using an unordered stream source (such as generate(Supplier))
or removing the ordering constraint with BaseStream.unordered() may result
in significantly more efficient execution for distinct() in parallel
pipelines, if the semantics of your situation permit. If consistency
with encounter order is required, and you are experiencing poor performance
or memory utilization with distinct() in parallel pipelines,
switching to sequential execution with BaseStream.sequential() may improve
performance.Stream<T> sorted()
Comparable, a java.lang.ClassCastException may be thrown
when the terminal operation is executed.
For ordered streams, the sort is stable. For unordered streams, no stability guarantees are made.
This is a stateful intermediate operation.

For ordered streams, the sort is stable. For unordered streams, no stability guarantees are made.

Comparator to be used to compare stream elementsStream<T> peek(Consumer<? super T> action)
This is an intermediate operation.
For parallel stream pipelines, the action may be called at whatever time and in whatever thread the element is made available by the upstream operation. If the action modifies shared state, it is responsible for providing the required synchronization.
Stream.of("one", "two", "three", "four")
.filter(e -> e.length() > 3)
.peek(e -> System.out.println("Filtered value: " + e))
.map(String::toUpperCase)

.collect(Collectors.toList());
action - a
non-interfering action to perform on the elements as
they are consumed from the streamStream<T> limit(long maxSize)
maxSize in length.
limit() is generally a cheap operation on sequential
stream pipelines, it can be quite expensive on ordered parallel pipelines,
especially for large values of maxSize, since limit(n)
is constrained to return not just any n elements, but the
first n elements in the encounter order. Using an unordered
stream source (such as generate(Supplier)) or removing the
ordering constraint with BaseStream.unordered() may result in significant
speedups of limit() in parallel pipelines, if the semantics of
your situation permit. If consistency with encounter order is required,
and you are experiencing poor performance or memory utilization with
limit() in parallel pipelines, switching to sequential execution
with BaseStream.sequential() may improve performance.maxSize - the number of elements the stream should be limited toIllegalArgumentException - if maxSize is negativeStream<T> skip(long n)
n elements of the stream.
If this stream contains fewer than n elements then an
empty stream will be returned.
This is a stateful intermediate operation.
skip() is generally a cheap operation on sequential
stream pipelines, it can be quite expensive on ordered parallel pipelines,
especially for large values of n, since skip(n)
is constrained to skip not just any n elements, but the
first n elements in the encounter order. Using an unordered
stream source (such as generate(Supplier)) or removing the
ordering constraint with BaseStream.unordered() may result in significant
speedups of skip() in parallel pipelines, if the semantics of
your situation permit. If consistency with encounter order is required,
and you are experiencing poor performance or memory utilization with
skip() in parallel pipelines, switching to sequential execution
with BaseStream.sequential() may improve performance.n - the number of leading elements to skipIllegalArgumentException - if n is negativevoid forEach(Consumer<? super T> action)
This is a terminal operation.
The behavior of this operation is explicitly nondeterministic. For parallel stream pipelines, this operation does not guarantee to respect the encounter order of the stream, as doing so would sacrifice the benefit of parallelism. For any given element, the action may be performed at whatever time and in whatever thread the library chooses. If the action accesses shared state, it is responsible for providing the required synchronization.

This operation processes the elements one at a time, in encounter order if one exists. Performing the action for one element happens-before performing the action for subsequent elements, but for any given element, the action may be performed in whatever thread the library chooses.

The identity value must be an identity for the accumulator

accumulator.apply(identity, t) is equal to t.
The accumulator function must be an
associative function.
This is a terminal operation.
Integer sum = integers.reduce(0, (a, b) -> a+b);
Integer sum = integers.reduce(0, Integer::sum);
While this may seem a more roundabout way to perform an aggregation compared to simply mutating a running total in a loop, reduction operations parallelize more gracefully, without needing additional synchronization and with greatly reduced risk of data races.

produces a result equivalent to:

For example, the following will accumulate strings into an ArrayList:

Collector. A Collector
encapsulates the functions used as arguments to
collect(Supplier, BiConsumer, BiConsumer), allowing for reuse of
collection strategies and composition of collect operations such as
multiple-level grouping or partitioning.
If the stream is parallel, and the Collector
is concurrent, and
either the stream is unordered or the collector is
unordered,
then a concurrent reduction will be performed (see Collector for
details on concurrent reduction.)
This is a terminal operation.
When executed in parallel, multiple intermediate results may be
instantiated, populated, and merged so as to maintain isolation of
mutable data structures. Therefore, even when executed in parallel
with non-thread-safe data structures (such as ArrayList), no
additional synchronization is needed for a parallel reduction.
