Learn Java 8 streams with an example - map() method
The map() function is a method in the Stream class that represents a functional programming concept. In simple words, the map() is utilized to transform one object into another by applying a function.
Example 1: Stream map() function with the operation of converting uppercase to lowercase.
import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
/*Stream map() function with operation of converting
uppercase to lowercase.
*/
public class DriverClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<String> list = Arrays.
asList("SAW", "NUN", "JOKER", "REVENANT", "CAST AWAY");
List<String> result = list.stream().
map(String::toLowerCase). collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(result);
}
}
Example 2: Java program to convert List of String to List of Integers
import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
/*Java program to convert a Stream of Strings
to a Stream of Integers.
*/
public class DriverClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<String> list = Arrays.
asList("1", "3", "6", "22", "12345");
List<Integer> result = list.stream().
map(Integer::valueOf).
collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(result);
}
}
Example 3: Java program to convert List of Employee to List of Integers(Employee Id)
import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
/*Java Stream map example
*/
public class DriverClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Emp emp1 = new Emp(1, "sibin", 23232, "developer");
Emp emp2 = new Emp(2, "sabin", 123232, "developer");
Emp emp3 = new Emp(3, "safin", 443232, "developer");
List<Emp> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add(emp1);
list.add(emp2);
list.add(emp3);
List<Integer> employeeIds = list.stream().
map(e -> e.getId()). collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(employeeIds);
}
}
class Emp {
private int id;
private String name;
private long salary;
private String designation;
public Emp() {
}
public Emp(int id, String name,
long salary, String designation) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
this.salary = salary;
this.designation = designation;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public long getSalary() {
return salary;
}
public void setSalary(long salary) {
this.salary = salary;
}
public String getDesignation() {
return designation;
}
public void setDesignation(String designation) {
this.designation = designation;
}
}
