In this tutorial, I will be sharing the top Java 8 coding and programming interview
questions and answers. I have only used Stream API functions to solve the below
questions. Please bookmark this page as I will keep adding more questions to it.

1. Given a list of integers, find out all the even numbers that exist in the list using
Stream functions?

import [Link].*;
import [Link].*;

public class EvenNumber{

public static void main(String args[]) {
List<Integer> list = [Link](10,15,8,49,25,98,32);
[Link]()
.filter(n -> n%2 == 0)
.forEach([Link]::println);

/* or can also try below method */

/* When numbers are given as Array int[] arr = {10,15,8,49,25,98,32}; */

Map<Boolean, List<Integer>> list = [Link](arr).boxed()

.collect([Link](num -> num % 2 == 0));
[Link](list);
}
}

Output:
10, 8, 98, 32

2. Given a list of integers, find out all the numbers starting with 1 using Stream
functions?

.map(s -> s + "") // Convert integer to String
.filter(s -> [Link]("1"))
.forEach([Link]::println);

/* or can also try below method */

/* When numbers are given as Array int[] arr = {10,15,8,49,25,98,32}; */

[Link]()
.filter(n -> )
.forEach([Link]::println);

If we are adding 3 or more duplicates then it returning those values. instead you can try

Set<Integer> set = [Link]().filter(n->[Link](mylist,n)>1).collect([Link]());

[Link](set);
