Java Stream API: Overview and Operations

The Java Stream API, introduced in Java 8, allows for the processing of collections of objects using Streams and Lambda functions for cleaner code. It consists of three main components: creating streams from various data sources, intermediate operations that transform streams lazily, and terminal operations that trigger processing and produce results. Once a terminal operation is invoked, the stream is consumed and cannot be further modified.

Java stream API

Stream API was introduced in Java 8. It is used to process the collections of objects. With the
help of Streams and Lambda functions, we can write clean, concise and understandable code.

Stream API has three major components:

1. Creating Streams: You can create a stream from various data sources, such as collections,
arrays, or by using Stream factories like [Link]() or [Link](). For example:
2. Intermediate Operations: Intermediate operations are operations that transform an existing
stream into a new one. These operations are lazy, meaning they don’t perform any processing
until a terminal operation is invoked
3. Terminal Operations: Terminal operations trigger the processing of the stream and produce a
result or a side effect.

1. Creating streams:
There are many ways to create a stream instance of different sources. Once created, the instance
will not modify its source, therefore allowing the creation of multiple instances from a single
source.
2. Intermediate Operations:

[Link] operations : Terminal operations in Java streams are the final operations
that trigger the processing of the stream elements and produce a result. Once a
terminal operation is invoked on a stream, the stream is considered consumed, and
no further intermediate operations can be applied to it.
