Java 8 Streams map() with examples

In Java 8 you can make use of the Streams API if you want to iterate over collections and perform operations over them.

Using stream.map() you can apply a function over the elements of a collection like List and get back a stream that contains the result after applying the function.

✌️The Stream map() function is known as the intermediate operation.

<R> Stream<R> map(Function<? super T, ? extends R> mapper);

Example 1: Add bonus to Salary using Stream.map()

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        List<Integer> salaries = new ArrayList<>();

        salaries.add(4000);
        salaries.add(10000);
        salaries.add(3000);
        salaries.add(12000);
        salaries.add(6000);
        salaries.add(7000);
        salaries.add(5000);

        System.out.println("Salaries: "+salaries);
        //map as intermediate operation to add bonus to salaries
        List newSalary = salaries.stream().map(n -> n+ ((n*10)/100)).collect(Collectors.toList());
        System.out.println("Salaries + 10% Bonus: "+ newSalary);

    }
}

Salaries: [4000, 10000, 3000, 12000, 6000, 7000, 5000]
Salaries + 10% Bonus: [4400, 11000, 3300, 13200, 6600, 7700, 5500]

Example 2: Convert to lowercase using Stream.map()

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

/**

 */
public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        List<String> names = new ArrayList<>();
        names.add("Mike");
        names.add("Alex");
        names.add("Bryan");
        names.add("Tiffany");
        names.add("Andrew");
        
        List lowerCaseNames = names.stream().map(name -> name.toLowerCase()).collect(Collectors.toList());
        System.out.println("Lower case names: " + lowerCaseNames);

    }
}

Lower case names: [mike, alex, bryan, tiffany, andrew]

Example 3: String ArrayList to Integer ArrayList

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

/**

 * Author: Code2care.org
 * Date: 17-Apr-2022
 * Ver: v1.0
 *
 */
public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        List<String> intStringList = new ArrayList<>();
        intStringList.add("1");
        intStringList.add("2");
        intStringList.add("3");
        intStringList.add("4");
        intStringList.add("5");

        ArrayList intArrayList = (ArrayList<Integer>) intStringList.stream().map(strInt -> Integer.parseInt(strInt)).collect(Collectors.toList());
        System.out.println("Integer ArrayList: " + intArrayList);

    }
}

|Integer ArrayList: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]HBE|
