5 Ways of Creating a Stream in Java 8

String[] arr = { "program", "creek", "program", "creek", "java", "web",
		"program" };
stream = Stream.of(arr);

String[] arr = { "program", "creek", "program", "creek", "java", "web", "program" }; stream = Stream.of(arr);

stream = Stream.of("program", "creek", "program", "creek", "java",
		"web", "program");

stream = Stream.of("program", "creek", "program", "creek", "java", "web", "program");

String[] stringArr = {"a", "b", "c", "d"};
Stream<String> stream = Arrays.stream(stringArr);

String[] stringArr = {"a", "b", "c", "d"}; Stream<String> stream = Arrays.stream(stringArr);

// from collection
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("java");
list.add("php");
list.add("python");
stream = list.stream();

// from collection List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(); list.add("java"); list.add("php"); list.add("python"); stream = list.stream();

// generate()
Stream<String> stream = Stream.generate(() -> "test").limit(10);
String[] strArr = stream.toArray(String[]::new);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(strArr));

// generate() Stream<String> stream = Stream.generate(() -> "test").limit(10); String[] strArr = stream.toArray(String[]::new); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(strArr));

// iterate()
Stream<BigInteger> bigIntStream = Stream.iterate(BigInteger.ZERO, n -> n.add(BigInteger.ONE)).limit(10);
BigInteger[] bigIntArr = bigIntStream.toArray(BigInteger[]::new);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(bigIntArr));

// iterate() Stream<BigInteger> bigIntStream = Stream.iterate(BigInteger.ZERO, n -> n.add(BigInteger.ONE)).limit(10); BigInteger[] bigIntArr = bigIntStream.toArray(BigInteger[]::new); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(bigIntArr));

// stream method from APIs
String sentence = "Program creek is a Java site.";
Stream<String> wordStream = Pattern.compile("\\W").splitAsStream(sentence);
String[] wordArr = wordStream.toArray(String[]::new);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(wordArr));

// stream method from APIs String sentence = "Program creek is a Java site."; Stream<String> wordStream = Pattern.compile("\\W").splitAsStream(sentence); String[] wordArr = wordStream.toArray(String[]::new); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(wordArr));
