Streams can be used to search an item within list.Student student2 = list.stream().filter(s -> {return s.getRollNo() == rollNo);}).findAny().orElse(null);In this example, we're searching a student by roll number.ExampleFollowing is the example showing the usage of streams to search an item in a list −package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; public class CollectionsDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       List list = new ArrayList();       list.add(new Student(1, "Zara"));       list.add(new Student(2, "Mahnaz"));       list.add(new Student(3, "Ayan"));       System.out.println("List: " + list);       final int rollNoToSearch ...

A List extends a collection that is used to store elements in a sequential manner. Let's learn how to remove multiple elements from a list in Java. The following are a few ways to do that: Using a for Loop Using removeAll() Method Using Stream API Using a For Loop To remove multiple elements from a list using a for loop. We will iterate through the list and check if each element is in the list of elements to be removed. If it is, we will remove ... Read More

In Java, a list is a collection that we use for storing elements. In many cases, we need to get the length of a list of lists. In this article, we will learn how to get the length of a list of lists in Java. List provides a method size() to get the count of elements present in the current list. To get the size of each list, we can iterate through each item in the list and add its size to get the count of all elements present in the list of lists. Ways to Get the Length of ... Read More

In this article, we will learn how to find the last occurrence of an element in a Java List. It is a collection in which we can store and access elements in serial order. We can use the following ways to find the last occurrence of an element in a Java List: Using a For Loop LastIndexOf() Method Using Stream API Using a For Loop We would use a for loop to iterate through the list in reverse order and check if the desiredelement is equal ...

In this article, we will explore how to determine if all elements in a Java List are the same. The following are the ways to achieve this: Using a For Loop Using Stream API Using a For Loop We will iterate through the list and compare each element with the first element. If we find any element that is not equal to the first element, we will return false. If we reach the end of the list without finding any different element, we will return true. Example In the below ... Read More

The List provides two methods to convert a List into Array.Way #1Object[] toArray()Returns an array containing all of the elements in this list in proper sequence (from first to last element).Way #2 T[] toArray(T[] a)Returns an array containing all of the elements in this list in proper sequence (from first to last element); the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the list fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this list.Type ParameterT − ...

A list can be converted to a set object using Set constructor. The resultant set will eliminate any duplicate entry present in the list and will contains only the unique values.Set set = new HashSet(list);Or we can use set.addAll() method to add all the elements of the list to the set.set.addAll(list);Using streams as well, we can get a set from a list.set = list.stream().collect(Collectors.toSet());ExampleFollowing is the example showing the list to set conversion via multiple ways −package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.HashSet; import java.util.List; import java.util.Set; import java.util.stream.Collectors; public class CollectionsDemo {    public static void ...

A List of elements can be copied to another List using multiple ways.Way #1Create a List by passing another list as a constructor argument.List copyOflist = new ArrayList(list);Create a List and use addAll() method to add all the elements of the source list.Way #2List copyOfList = new ArrayList(); copyOfList.addAll(list);Way #3Use Collections.copy() method to copy the contents of source list to destination. Existing elements will be overridden by indexes if any.Collections.copy(copyOfList, list);Way #4Use Streams to create a copy of a list.List copyOfList = list.stream().collect(Collectors.toList());ExampleFollowing is the example to explain the creation of copy of List object using multiple ways −package com.tutorialspoint; ...

A list can be converted to a set object using Set constructor. The resultant set will elliminate any duplicate entry present in the list and will contains only the unique values.Set set = new HashSet(list);On similar pattern, we can get a list from a set using its constructor.List list = new ArrayList(set);ExampleFollowing is the example showing the conversion of list to set and set to list −package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.HashSet; import java.util.List; import java.util.Set; public class CollectionsDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       List list = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(1, 2, ...
