The forEach statement in Java8 loops an List and an Map

In this article, I'll show you how to loop an List and an Map with the new Java 8 forEach statement.

1. forEach and Map

1.1. The common method of circulating Map.

Map<String ,Integer> items = new HashMap<>(); 

items.put("A",10); 
items.put("B",20); 
items.put("C",30); 
items.put("D",40); 
items.put("E",50); 
items.put("F",60); 

for(Map.Entry<String Integer> entry : items.entrySet()){ 
 System.out.println("Item : "+enty.getKey() + " Count :" + entry.getVlaue()) 
} 

1.2 In Java 8, you can loop Map with the forEach + lambda expression

Map<String, Integer> items = new HashMap<>(); 
items.put("A", 10); 

items.put("B", 20); 
items.put("C", 30); 
items.put("D", 40); 

items.put("E", 50); 
items.put("F", 60); 
items.forEach((k,v)->System.out.println(" Item : "+ k + " Count : " + v)); 
//items.forEach((k,v)->{System.out.println(" Item : "+ k + " Count : " + v);}); 
items.forEach((k,v)->{ 
 System.out.println("Item : " + k + " Count : " + v); 
 if("E".equals(k)){ 
 System.out.println("Hello E"); 
 } 
}); 

2. forEach and List

2.1. Conventional method of circulating List

 List<String> items = new ArrayList<>(); 
 items.add("Anna"); 
 items.add("Brian"); 
 items.add("Cici"); 
 items.add("Elena"); 
 // Regular cycle List Method of  
 for(String item : items){ 
  System.out.println(item); 
 } 

2.2. In Java 8, you can use forEach + lambda expressions or method calls to loop Map

Map<String, Integer> items = new HashMap<>(); 
items.put("A", 10); 
items.put("B", 20); 
items.put("C", 30); 
items.put("D", 40); 
items.put("E", 50); 
items.put("F", 60); 
// In Java 8 In,   You can use forEach + lambda Expression to loop Map 
// Output above put All lists of  
items.forEach((k,v)->System.out.println(" Item : "+ k + " Count : " + v)); 
//items.forEach((k,v)->{System.out.println(" Item : "+ k + " Count : " + v);}); 
// Output above put All lists of  + Hello E 
items.forEach((k,v)->{ 
 System.out.println("Item : " + k + " Count : " + v); 
 if("E".equals(k)){ 
 System.out.println("Hello E"); 
 } 
}); 
Map
package com.foreach.learn; 
import java.util.HashMap; 
import java.util.Map; 
public class forEachLearnMap { 
 public static void main(String[] args) { 
 //forEach  And  Map 
 Map<String, Integer> items = new HashMap<>(); 
 items.put("A", 10); 
 items.put("B", 20); 
 items.put("C", 30); 
 items.put("D", 40); 
 items.put("E", 50); 
 items.put("F", 60); 
 // Regular cycle Map Method of  
 for(Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry : items.entrySet()) { 
  System.out.println(" Item : "+ entry.getKey() + " Count : " + entry.getValue());  
 } 
 // In Java 8 In,   You can use forEach + lambda Expression to loop Map 
 // Output above put All lists of  
 items.forEach((k,v)->System.out.println(" Item : "+ k + " Count : " + v)); 
 //items.forEach((k,v)->{System.out.println(" Item : "+ k + " Count : " + v);}); 
 // Output above put All lists of  + Hello E 
 items.forEach((k,v)->{ 
  System.out.println("Item : " + k + " Count : " + v); 
 if("E".equals(k)){ 
  System.out.println("Hello E"); 
  } 
 });  

 } 

} 
Lsit:

package com.foreach.learn; 
import java.util.ArrayList; 
import java.util.List; 
public class forEachLearnList { 
 public static void main(String[] args) {  
 List<String> items = new ArrayList<>(); 
 items.add("Anna"); 
 items.add("Brian"); 
 items.add("Cici"); 
 items.add("Elena"); 
 // Regular cycle List Method of  
 for(String item : items){ 
  System.out.println(item); 
 } 
 // In Java 8 In,   You can use forEach + lambda Expression   Or method calls to loop Map 
 //lambda 
 // Output  : Anna, Brian, Cici, Elena 
 items.forEach(item->System.out.println(item)); 
 // Output  Cici 
 items.forEach(item->{ 
 if("Cici".equals(item)){ 
  System.out.println(item); 
  } 
 }); 
 // Method invocation  
 // Output  : Anna, Brian, Cici, Elena 
 items.forEach(System.out::println); 
 //Stream and filter 
 // Output Brian 
 items.stream() 
 .filter(s->s.contains("Brian")) 
 .forEach(System.out::println); 
 }
