Stream generate(Supplier<T> s) returns an infinite sequential unordered stream where each element is generated by the provided Supplier. This is suitable for generating constant streams, streams of random elements, etc.
Syntax :
static <T> Stream<T> generate(Supplier<T> s) Where, Stream is an interface and T is the type of stream elements. s is the Supplier of generated elements and the return value is a new infinite sequential unordered Stream.
Example 1 : To generate stream of random integer.
// Java code for Stream.generate() // to generate an infinite sequential // unordered stream import java.util.*; import java.util.stream.Stream; class GFG { // Driver code public static void main(String[] args) { // using Stream.generate() method // to generate 5 random Integer values Stream.generate( new Random()::nextInt) .limit( 5 ).forEach(System.out::println); } } |
Output :
697197501 50139200 321540264 1042847655 -770409472
Example 2 : To generate stream of random Double.
// Java code for Stream.generate() // to generate an infinite sequential // unordered stream import java.util.*; import java.util.stream.Stream; class GFG { // Driver code public static void main(String[] args) { // using Stream.generate() method // to generate 8 random Double values Stream.generate( new Random()::nextDouble) .limit( 8 ).forEach(System.out::println); } } |
