Stream forEach(Consumer action) performs an action for each element of the stream. Stream forEach(Consumer action) is a terminal operation i.e, it may traverse the stream to produce a result or a side-effect.
Syntax :
void forEach(Consumer<? super T> action) Where, Consumer is a functional interface and T is the type of stream elements.
Note : The behavior of this operation is explicitly nondeterministic. Also, for any given element, the action may be performed at whatever time and in whatever thread the library chooses.
Example 1 : To perform print operation on each element of reversely sorted stream.
// Java code for forEach // (Consumer action) in Java 8 import java.util.*;   class GFG {       // Driver code     public static void main(String[] args)     {           // Creating a list of Integers         List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList( 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 );           // Using forEach(Consumer action) to         // print the elements of stream         // in reverse order         list.stream().sorted(Comparator.reverseOrder()).forEach(System.out::println);     } } |

Example 2 : To perform print operation on each element of string stream.
// Java code for forEach // (Consumer action) in Java 8 import java.util.*;   class GFG {       // Driver code     public static void main(String[] args)     {           // Creating a list of Strings         List<String> list = Arrays.asList( "GFG" , "Geeks" ,                                           "for" , "Lazyroar" );           // Using forEach(Consumer action) to         // print the elements of stream         list.stream().forEach(System.out::println);     } } |
GFG Geeks for Lazyroar
Example 3 : To perform print operation on each element of reversely sorted string stream.
// Java code for forEach // (Consumer action) in Java 8 import java.util.*; import java.util.stream.Stream;   class GFG {       // Driver code     public static void main(String[] args)     {           // Creating a Stream of Strings         Stream<String> stream = Stream.of( "GFG" , "Geeks" ,                                           "for" , "Lazyroar" );           // Using forEach(Consumer action) to print         // Character at index 1 in reverse order         stream.sorted(Comparator.reverseOrder())             .flatMap(str -> Stream.of(str.charAt( 1 )))             .forEach(System.out::println);     } } |
