JAVA STREAMS – 100% INTERVIEW GUIDE

1. Stream Basics

Stream is a sequence of elements supporting functional operations. It does NOT store data. Lazy
evaluation and processed once.

2. Stream Creation

[Link](), [Link](), [Link](arr), [Link](), [Link](),


[Link]()

3. Intermediate Operations

filter(Predicate) map(Function) mapToObj() mapToInt()/mapToDouble() flatMap() distinct() sorted()


limit() skip() peek()

4. Terminal Operations

forEach() collect() count() reduce() findFirst() findAny() anyMatch() allMatch() noneMatch()

5. Collectors Deep Dive

[Link](), toSet(), toMap() joining() groupingBy() partitioningBy() mapping()


collectingAndThen()

6. partitioningBy vs groupingBy

partitioningBy → 2 groups (true/false) groupingBy → multiple keys

7. reduce() Explained

Used for aggregation Example: sum, multiplication, custom logic

8. Parallel Streams

Use parallelStream() Faster but not always safe Avoid shared mutable state

9. Common Interview Questions

Find duplicates Count frequency First non-repeating char Group by length Sort map by value
10. Performance Tips

Use primitive streams when possible Avoid unnecessary boxing Use Set for faster lookup Prefer
single stream over multiple

11. Common Mistakes

Forgetting terminal operation Using streams multiple times Not handling null Wrong use of parallel
streams

12. Full Example Flow

String → chars() → mapToObj() → filter() → collect()

13. Key Interview Lines

Streams are lazy Collectors transform streams into final result mapToObj converts primitive to
object partitioningBy splits into two groups
