You don’t know Java Streams in-practice , Do You?
Why You Should Learn Java Streams Today
I’m a Java developer , and I recently got a code review comment that I should use Java Streams API to write a piece of code that took me 10 lines to write. I was hesitant at first, but I eventually tried it out and found that my reviewer was right. Not only does it make the code more concise, but it’s also much more powerful.
If you’re not familiar with Java Streams, it is a powerful tool introduced Java 8 onwards, that can help you write more concise, readable, and efficient code. It is also a great way to learn about functional programming concepts.
I know Java Streams can be a bit daunting at first, but I created this article to help you get started. I’ll walk you through 15 coding questions that should help you deal with Java Streams.
Ensure you don’t miss the surprise waiting for you at the end of this article — read on for an extra dose of excitement and a surprise announcement.
Anyway by the end of this article, you will be able to:
- Use Streams to solve common problems as a beginner
- Write more concise and readable code
- Have a good revision of Streams if you are an experienced developer.

Now let’s start with the 15 Streams-based questions and their code snippets.
1. Find the sum of all even numbers in a list of integers.
2. Find and print the count of strings that have length greater than 5.
3. Implement a function that takes a list of integers as input and returns a new list containing the square of each element.
4. Find the maximum element in a list of integers.
5. Concatenate all the strings in a list into a single string.
6. Convert each string to uppercase and then sort them in alphabetical order.
7. Find the average of all the numbers in a list of doubles using Streams.
8. Create a new list that contains only unique words (remove duplicates).
9. Check if all elements in a List satisfy a given condition using streams.
10. Check if a list contains a specific element using streams.
11. Find the longest string in a list using streams.
12. Remove null values from a list using streams.
13. Problem Statement: GROUP BY Department and Find Max Salary
You have been tasked with analyzing a dataset of employee information to determine the maximum salary in each department. The dataset consists of a list of Employee objects, where each employee has a name, department, and salary. You need to group the employees by their respective departments and identify the maximum salary within each department.
14. Find Second Smallest Element in a List
15. Find Intersection of Two Lists
