#1 double colon notation ::
The new double colon (::) operator that Java 8 has to convert a normal method into lambda expression. So,
Instead of:
|
1 |
list.forEach(n -> System.out.println(n)); |
You can do:
|
1 |
list.forEach(System.out::println); |
#2 Why is stream::iterator used?
“lines::iterator” where iterator() is an instance method on “BaseStream<T,Stream<T>>” from which java.util.Stream<T> extends. The “iterator()” returns an “Iterator<T>”. The for each loop works on Iterable<T>.
|
1 |
for (element : iterable); |
So, given a Stream s, the following results in an Iterable:
|
1 |
s::iterator |
If you want to use this directly in an enhanced-for loop, you have to apply a cast in order to establish a target type for the method reference.
|
1 |
for( String line : (Iterable<String>) lines::iterator ) |
#3 Iterator Vs Iterable difference?
An Iterable<T> is a simple representation of a series of elements that can be iterated over, and it does not have any iteration state such as a “current element”. Instead, it has a “iterator()” method that produces an Iterator. Implementing this interface allows an object to be the target of the “for-each loop” statement.
An Iterator<T> is the object with iteration state to let you check if it has more elements using hasNext() and move to the next() element.

Note: filter() is an intermediate operation, returning a Stream, and findFirst() is a terminal operation.
Count lines

Output:

count lines=2 |
Note: count() is a terminal operation as it does not return a stream.
