To fill a two-dimensional array with data using a Stream in Java, you can use the map() method to transform each element of the stream into an array, and then use the toArray() method to collect the elements into a two-dimensional array.
Here's an example of how to do it:
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a list of lists
List<List<Integer>> list = Arrays.asList(
Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3),
Arrays.asList(4, 5, 6),
Arrays.asList(7, 8, 9)
);
// Convert the list to a stream and map each element to an array
Stream<int[]> stream = list.stream().map(l -> l.stream().mapToInt(i -> i).toArray());
// Collect the stream into a two-dimensional array
int[][] array = stream.toArray(int[][]::new);
// Print the array
for (int[] row : array) {
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(row));
}
}
}
This code creates a list of lists, and then converts it to a stream of arrays using the map() method. The toArray() method is used to collect the elements of the stream into a two-dimensional array.
Note that the toArray() method takes a IntFunction as an argument, which is used to create the array. In this case, we use int[][]::new to create a two-dimensional array of ints.
You can use a similar approach to fill a two-dimensional array with any type of data, as long as you use the appropriate method to convert the data to an array.
