Java 8 Interface and use case
1 -Consumer interface
6 min readSep 11, 2023
A Consumer is an in-build functional interface in the java.util.function package. we use consumers when we need to consume objects, the consumer takes an input value and returns nothing
Consumer interface consists of the following
void accept(T t,)
The BiConsumer interface consists of the following two functions:
void accept(T t, U u)
Only one difference b/w Consumer and BiConsumer argument
void accept(T value);
// We can pass consumer object in to forEach(Consumer<> con);
Consumer<Employee> c1 = s1->sop("Hello Boss"+s1.length());
c1.accept("Sanjay") o/p - Hello Boss 6
how to create consumer object
Consumer<Employee> c1 = s1->sop(s1.getName()+""+s1.getAge());
//use now c1 will pass
list.forEach(c1);
-------------BiConsumer--------
The BiConsumer interface consists of the following two functions:
void accept(T t, U u)
BiConsumer<Integer,Integer> biconsumer = (a,b)->sop("add =" +a+b);
biconsumer.accept(10,20) o/p= add=30
package com.logical.intface.functonal.consumer;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.function.Consumer;
import com.logical.application.java8.Employee;
import com.logical.application.java8.SetDataForEmployee;
public class ConsumerExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<Employee> list = SetDataForEmployee.getEmployeeData();
// print all employee name
Consumer<Employee> c1 = s1 -> System.out.println(s1.getName());
// print all employee gender
Consumer<Employee> c2 = s1 -> System.out.println(s1.getGender());
// print all employee deparment
Consumer<Employee> c3 = s1 -> System.out.println(s1.getDepartment());
// list.forEach(c1);
// System.out.println("1st o/p=======================end");
// list.forEach(c2);
// System.out.println("2st o/p=======================end");
// list.forEach(c3);
// System.out.println("3st o/p=======================end");
// print name gender deparment
list.forEach(c1.andThen(c2).andThen(c3).andThen(c1));
// pass consumer inside forEachLoop
list.forEach(s -> {
if (s.getAge() > 40) {
c1.accept(s);
}
});
}
}2-Predicate interface {Predicate<T> test(T t)}
it is a single argument function which is return true and false
Boolean test(T t)
BiPredicate interface {BiPredicate<T,U> test(T t,U u)}
it is two argument function which is return true and false
Boolean test(T t,U u)
it is only difference b/w BiPredicate and Predicate
Predicate<T>
Boolean test(T t)
Parameters:
t - the input argument
Returns:
true if the input argument matches the predicate, otherwise false
//
Prdecate<Integer> p1 = x->x>10;
sop(p1.test(20)) o/p False
BiPredicate interface
Boolean test(T t,U u)
for example when we can use BiPredicate
if i have employee list and I want to 2 condisan then
BiPredicate bx = (age,deparment)-> deparment==hr && age>20;
if i have employee list and I want to 2 condition then
BiPredicate bx = (age,deparment)-> deparment==hr && age>20;
Map and flatMap —
public class FlatmapExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<User> user = SetDataForUser.setDataWithCity();
List<String> city = user.stream().flatMap(x -> x.getCity().stream()).sorted().collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(city);
Map<String, List<String>> map = user.stream().collect(Collectors.toMap(User::getName, User::getCity));
System.out.println(map);
// use count()
Long l = user.stream().flatMap(x -> x.getCity().stream()).sorted().count();
System.out.println(l);
}
}
input
User user1 = new User(1, "D", "10", 10,Arrays.asList("delhi","agra"));
User user2 = new User(2, "C", "50", 50,Arrays.asList("mirzapur","allahabad"));
User user3 = new User(3, "A", "20",30,Arrays.asList("jaipur","lucknow"));
User user4 = new User(5, "B", "90",20,Arrays.asList("rajsthan","kolkata"));
List<User> list = Arrays.asList(user3, user2, user1, user4);
return list;
o/p
[agra, allahabad, delhi, jaipur, kolkata, lucknow, mirzapur, rajsthan]
{A=[jaipur, lucknow], B=[rajsthan, kolkata], C=[mirzapur, allahabad],
D=[delhi, agra]}

Java Comparator(Cutomize sorting)
package com.logical.intface.functonal.comprator;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import com.logical.application.java8.SetDataForUser;
import com.logical.application.java8.User;
public class CustomizeComprator {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<User> user = SetDataForUser.setDataWithCity();
// Comparator with Lambda
Comparator<User> sortByUserName = Comparator.comparing(User::getName);
Comparator<User> sortByAge = Comparator.comparing(User::getAge);
Comparator<User> firstNamethenAgeComparator = (u1,u2) ->u1.getName()
.compareTo(u2.getAge());
List<User> list = user.stream().sorted(sortByUserName)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
List<User> list2 = user.stream()
.sorted(sortByUserName.thenComparing(sortByAge))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
List<User> list3 = user.stream().sorted(firstNamethenAgeComparator)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(list);
System.out.println(list2);
System.out.println(list3);
List<User> list4 = user.stream().
sorted(Comparator.comparing(User::getAge)).collect(Collectors.toList());
//reversed method
List<User> list5 = user.stream()
.sorted(Comparator.comparing(User::getAge).reversed())
.collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(list4);
System.out.println(list5);
}

[User [id=3, name=A, age=20, sal=30], User [id=5, name=B, age=90, sal=20], User [id=2, name=C, age=50, sal=50], User [id=1, name=D, age=10, sal=10], User [id=1, name=x, age=10, sal=10]]
[User [id=3, name=A, age=20, sal=30], User [id=5, name=B, age=90, sal=20], User [id=2, name=C, age=50, sal=50], User [id=1, name=D, age=10, sal=10], User [id=1, name=x, age=10, sal=10]]

for example
Arrays.asList(1,2,3,4)
if you want sum of all element then we can use reduce()
int x =list.stream().reuce(0,(a,b)->a+b); o/p 10
int x =list.stream().reuce(0,(a,b)->a*b);
explain ==reuce(0,(a,b)->a+b)
0+1=1 (1 will store into place of 0)
1+2=3
3+3=6
6+4=10
I have a Employee list and if I want to sum of all employee sal then
package com.logical.intface.functonal;
import java.util.List;
import com.logical.application.java8.SetDataForUser;
import com.logical.application.java8.User;
public class ReduceMethod {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<User> user = SetDataForUser.setDataWithCity();
int x=user.stream().map(User::getSal).reduce(0,(a,b)->a+b);
System.out.println(x);
}
Use filter+map+reduce
public class ReduceMethod {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<User> user = SetDataForUser.setDataWithCity();
int x=user.stream().map(User::getSal).reduce(0,(a,b)->a+b);
System.out.println(x);
int op =user.stream().filter(a->a.getId()>3).map(User::getSal).reduce(0,(a,b)->a+b);
System.out.println(op);
OR
int opx =user.stream().filter(a->a.getId()>3)
.map(User::getSal).reduce(0,Integer::sum);
System.out.println(op);
}

20max() and reduce() and same way we can use min() also
we can get maximum value from list
we can get min value from list
// -------------------------------------
List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(1, 8, 9, 6, 5);
// how find max from list
int value = list.stream().max(Integer::compareTo).get();
System.out.println(value);
int value2 = list.stream().reduce(0, (a, b) -> a > b ? a : b);
System.out.println(value2);
o/p for both 9limit(), skip()
from list if I want only 5 no then we can use limit (first five get)
from list if I left only 5 and need rest element then use skip (first five left)
List<Integer> value4 = list.stream().limit(3).collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(value4);
List<Integer> value5= list.stream().skip(3).collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(value5);
o/p
[1, 8, 9]
[6, 5]findFirst() and FindAny() — -
findFirst()method returns the first element of a stream
findAny()method returns any element of the stream
Optional<String> person = people.stream()
.filter(x -> x.length() > 4)
.findFirst();
Optional<String> person2 = people.stream()
.filter(x -> x.length() > 4)
.parallel()
.findAny();
Stream Aggregate Functions
Use a Parallel Stream in Java
public class ParallelStreamExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Sum Sequential: " + sumSequentialStream());
System.out.println("Sum Parallel: " + sumParallelStream());
}
public static int sumSequentialStream(){
return IntStream.rangeClosed(0,50000).sum();
}
public static int sumParallelStream(){
return IntStream.rangeClosed(0,50000).parallel().sum();
}
}
-----------------------------performance
package com.modernjava.parallelstream;
import java.util.function.Supplier;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;
public class StreamPerformanceExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int loop = 20;
long result = measurePerformance(StreamPerformanceExample::sumSequentialStream,loop);
System.out.println("Time Taken to process sum in sequential: "
+ result + "in msecs");
result = measurePerformance(StreamPerformanceExample::sumParallelStream,loop);
System.out.println("Time Takes to process sum in Parallel: " + result + " in msecs");
}
public static long measurePerformance (Supplier<Integer> supplier, int numberOfTimes){
long startTime= System.currentTimeMillis();
for (int i=0;i<numberOfTimes;i++)
supplier.get();
return System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
}
