We have a Employee Object with following fields – empId,salary,empAge,totalExp,empName,location,pincode. Now we are going to do following operations in the List containing Employee Object.

import java.util.function.Predicate;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class MatchEgs {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Employee objEmp1 = new Employee(101, "Mugil", 30, "Chennai", "600018", 5, 5000);

Check if people match the criteria by passing predicate to anyMatch, noneMatch and allMatch

        Predicate<Employee> empAgeGreaterThan35 = employee -> employee.getEmpAge() > 35;
        Predicate<Employee> empAgeGreaterThan30 = employee -> employee.getEmpAge() > 30;

        //Check if Some Employee Age is Greater 30
        System.out.println(arrEmployee.stream().anyMatch(empAgeGreaterThan35));

        //Check if all Employee Age is above 30
        System.out.println(arrEmployee.stream().allMatch(empAgeGreaterThan30));

        //Check if any Employee Location in Delhi

FindFirst Employee who matches criteria and FindAny who matches criteria. Both takes predicate as input.

findAny – Returns an Optional describing some element of the stream, or an empty Optional if the stream is empty.it is free to select any element in the stream. This is to allow for maximal performance in parallel operations;

How to Search for Product with least cost from List? I have a List of Speakers in List. I want to get the speaker with the least cost.

Speakers.java

package com.mugil.bean;

public class Speakers {
 private Integer speakerID;
 private String companyName;
 private Integer price;
 private String sellerName;

 public Speakers(Integer pSpeakerId, String pcompanyName, Integer pPrice, String psellerName) {
  this.speakerID = pSpeakerId;
  this.companyName = pcompanyName;
  this.price = pPrice;
  this.sellerName = psellerName;
 }

 public int getSpeakerID() {
  return speakerID;
 }
 public void setSpeakerID(int speakerID) {
  this.speakerID = speakerID;
 }
 public String getCompanyName() {
  return companyName;
 }
 public void setCompanyName(String companyName) {
  this.companyName = companyName;
 }
 public int getPrice() {
  return price;
 }
 public void setPrice(int price) {
  this.price = price;
 }

 public String getSellerName() {
  return sellerName;
 }

 public void setSellerName(String sellerName) {
  this.sellerName = sellerName;
 }

 @Override
 public String toString() {
  return "Speakers [speakerID=" + speakerID + ", companyName=" + companyName + ", price=" + price +
   ", sellerName=" + sellerName + "]";
 }
}

SearchSpeakers.java

package com.mugil.test;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collector;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

import com.mugil.bean.Speakers;

public class SearchSpeakers {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  Speakers objSpeaker1 = new Speakers(101, "JBL Go", 120, "Amazon");
  Speakers objSpeaker2 = new Speakers(102, "Panasonic", 420, "Amazon");
  Speakers objSpeaker3 = new Speakers(103, "JBL Go", 900, "Flipkart");
  Speakers objSpeaker4 = new Speakers(104, "JBL Go", 120, "Amazon");
  Speakers objSpeaker5 = new Speakers(105, "JBL Go", 350, "Amazon");
  Speakers objSpeaker6 = new Speakers(101, "Philips", 120, "EBay");
  Speakers objSpeaker7 = new Speakers(102, "JBL Go", 125, "Ebay");
  Speakers objSpeaker8 = new Speakers(103, "JBL Go", 35, "Smart Shoppe");
  Speakers objSpeaker9 = new Speakers(104, "Panasonic", 80, "Amazon");
  Speakers objSpeaker10 = new Speakers(105, "Philips", 180, "Amazon");

  List < Speakers > arrSpeakers = new ArrayList < Speakers > ();

  arrSpeakers.add(objSpeaker1);
  arrSpeakers.add(objSpeaker2);
  arrSpeakers.add(objSpeaker3);
  arrSpeakers.add(objSpeaker4);
  arrSpeakers.add(objSpeaker5);
  arrSpeakers.add(objSpeaker6);
  arrSpeakers.add(objSpeaker7);
  arrSpeakers.add(objSpeaker8);
  arrSpeakers.add(objSpeaker9);
  arrSpeakers.add(objSpeaker10);

  Comparator < Speakers > spkComparator = (Speakers objSpeaker1a, Speakers objSpeaker2a) -> objSpeaker1a.getPrice() - objSpeaker2a.getPrice();

  arrSpeakers.stream().sorted(spkComparator).collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Speakers::getCompanyName)).values()
   .stream().forEach(searchedModel -> System.out
    .println("Speaker with Lowest Cost" + searchedModel.stream().findFirst()));
 }
}
arrSpeakers.stream().sorted(spkComparator).collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Speakers::getCompanyName)).values()
   .stream().forEach(searchedModel -> System.out
    .println("Speaker with Lowest Cost" + searchedModel.stream().findFirst()));

arrSpeakers.stream() – Convert to Stream
arrSpeakers.stream().sorted(spkComparator) – Sorts the list by price
arrSpeakers.stream().sorted(spkComparator).collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Speakers::getCompanyName)) – Groups the Sorted List by Company Name
arrSpeakers.stream().sorted(spkComparator).collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Speakers::getCompanyName)).values()
.stream()
– Convert the Sorted List into Stream

The above code could be rewritten as follows

//Sort by Price and group by company name
Stream objStream = arrSpeakers.stream()
                              .sorted(spkComparator)
                              .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Speakers::getCompanyName)).values();

//Loop through Stream of List and print the first one
objStream.forEach(listOfStudent -> System.out.println((ArrayList)listOfStudent.stream().findFirst()));

Output

Speaker with Lowest CostOptional[Speakers [speakerID=101, companyName=Philips, price=120, sellerName=EBay]]
Speaker with Lowest CostOptional[Speakers [speakerID=104, companyName=Panasonic, price=80, sellerName=Amazon]]
Speaker with Lowest CostOptional[Speakers [speakerID=103, companyName=JBL Go, price=35, sellerName=Smart Shoppe]]
