map/filter/reduce

Learn core Stream operations: map, filter, reduce.

map/filter/reduce is a free Java Academy lesson on CoddyKit — lesson 2 of 3. You can read the complete lesson below for free — then practise it hands-on in the browser with a built-in code editor and a 24/7 AI tutor. It is part of the Java Academy learning path, one of 3 lessons in the course, and your progress syncs across the web and the CoddyKit app.

Intro

map transforms data, filter selects items, reduce combines results into one.

map

map: apply a function to each element to produce a new Stream.

Code: map

This maps each string to uppercase.

import java.util.*;import java.util.stream.*;public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    List<String> names = Arrays.asList("ada", "bob");
    names.stream().map(String::toUpperCase).forEach(System.out::println);
  }
}

filter

filter: keep only elements that match a condition.

Code: filter

This filters even numbers from a list.

import java.util.*;import java.util.stream.*;public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    List<Integer> nums = Arrays.asList(1,2,3,4,5);
    nums.stream().filter(n -> n % 2 == 0).forEach(System.out::println);
  }
}

Code: reduce

reduce combines elements, here summing numbers.

import java.util.*;import java.util.stream.*;public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    List<Integer> nums = Arrays.asList(1,2,3,4);
    int sum = nums.stream().reduce(0, (a,b) -> a+b);
    System.out.println("Sum = " + sum);
  }
}

Recap

Recap: map transforms, filter selects, reduce combines. These are core Stream tools.
