Stream/stream is an abstraction introduced in JAVA8 that can process similar SQL statement declaration data. For example, consider the following SQL statement.
SELECT Max (Salary), Employee_id,employee_name from employee
The above SQL expression automatically returns the details of the maximum wage employee and does not calculate any final calculations for the developer. Using the collection framework in Java, developers must use loops to make checks repeat. Another notable concern is efficiency, multicore processors can be assured that Java developers must write parallel code processing, but very error-prone.
To solve this problem, JAVA8 introduces the concept of flow, which allows the developer to process the data through a declaration and can leverate the multicore architecture without writing any specific code.
What is Data flow?
The stream represents an object from the sequence that supports the aggregation operation source. The following are the characteristics of the data flow.
