Trying to get my head round the Java 8 streams syntax with a simple example. Had a look at the other similar questions on this topic, but could not find any solutions that would match my example and would work for me. Basically I am trying to refactor the following snippet with two nested loops to use the new stream API:
List<Car> filteredCars = new ArrayList<>();
for (Car car : cars) {
for (Wheel wheel : wheels) {
if (car.getColor() == wheel.getColor() &&
wheel.isWorking() == true ) {
filteredCars.add(car);
break;
}
}
}
return filteredCars;
Managed to come up with this which returns void:
return cars.stream().forEach(
car -> wheels.stream()
.filter(wheel -> wheel.getColor() == car.getColor() &&
wheel.isWorking() == true)
.collect(Collectors.toList()));
What is wrong with the stream syntax above and what am I missing?
