I would like a simple example for Java 8 Streams
to understand it. I have this code that returns a free taxi. I would like to replace this for loop with equivalent code that uses Java 8 streams :
private List<Taxi> taxis = new ArrayList<Taxi>();
Taxi scheduleTaxi(){
for (Taxi taxi : taxis) {
if (taxi.isFree()) {
return taxi;
}
}
return null;
}
I iterate over a list of taxis
, and evaluate if taxi
respects the condition. If the condition applies, I stop the loop and return taxi
.
Any suggestions?

Using the newest IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3 EAP (either Community edition or Ultimate edition), you can convert it automatically. Just put the cursor on your for-loop:
Press the Alt-Enter and select "Replace with findFirst()":
Voila, it's done!
