To use the Collectors
class in Java, you will need to import it from the java.util.stream
package. Here is an example of how you can do this in your code:
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
Once you have imported the Collectors
class, you can use it to perform various operations on streams, such as collecting elements from a stream into a list or set, or performing reduction operations. Here is an example of using the Collectors
class to collect the elements of a stream into a list:
List<String> words = Stream.of("apple", "banana", "cherry") .collect(Collectors.toList());
The Collectors
class provides many static factory methods for creating common types of collectors, such as toList
, toSet
, and toMap
. You can also use the Collectors
class to create custom collectors by using its reducing
and groupingBy
methods.
