How to use Stream range, rangeClosed, sum and sorted methods? Java 8 IntStream Examples -

Hello guys, if you want to learn about IntStream in Java 8 and looking for a simple tutorial and example then you have come to the right place. Earlier, I have shared 10 examples of Lambda expression and filter+ map+ collect examples and in this article, I will show you how to use IntStream in Java 8. IntStream is a specialization of Stream class for primitive int values. It allows you to perform a sequential and parallel aggregate operation on a list of values like count() to print the total number of element in stream, min() to find minimum value in the stream, max() to find maximum value in the stream, sum() to find a total of all values and average() to find the average of all numbers in the stream.

It is very useful while you are operating on numeric data. You can create IntStream of specific values by using IntStream.of() static factory method, or you can convert any stream to IntStream by using the mapToInt() function, which is extremely useful to convert numeric String into primitive int and then performing these aggregate and grouping operations.

Stream API also provides a couple of utility method to create a sequence of string in a specific range like IntStream.range(strat, endExclusive) and IntStream.rangeClosed(start, endInclusive) can be used to create a sequence of integers incremented by 1 like range(1, 5) will produce 1, 2, 3, 4 because last value is exclusive, while rangeClosed(1, 5) will produce 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 

That is also the only difference between the range() and rangeClosed() method. Btw, if you are new to Java programming then I highly recommend you to join a comprehensive Java course to learn in a structured way. If you need a recommendation then I suggest you join The Complete Java Masterclass by Tim Buchalaka and his team on Udemy. This 80-hour long course is most up-to-date and also very affordable, you can buy in just $10 on Udemy sales. 




Some important methods of IntStream class

Here are some of the important methods of IntStream class from Java 8:
  • rangeClosed(a,b):  values from a to be are considered by incrementing 1.
  • range(a,b) : values from a to b-1 are considered.
  • sum:  calculates the sum of values.
  • sorted: values are sorted.
  • max - for calculating maximum value
  • min - for minimum value
  • average- for calculating the average. 
You also need to remember that most of the IntStream functions are terminal operations, especially the numeric and aggregation ones and once you apply a terminal function on Stream you cannot reuse it. If you try to perform another operation on stream after performing terminal operation then you will get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: stream has already been operated upon or closed
at java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.(AbstractPipeline.java:203)
at java.util.stream.LongPipeline.(LongPipeline.java:91)
at java.util.stream.LongPipeline$StatelessOp.(LongPipeline.java:572)
at java.util.stream.IntPipeline$5.(IntPipeline.java:261)
at java.util.stream.IntPipeline.mapToLong(IntPipeline.java:260)
at java.util.stream.IntPipeline.count(IntPipeline.java:429)



And, if you want to learn more about Stream API in Java 8, then I highly recommend you to join Learn Java Functional Programming with Lambdas & Streams course by Ranga Karnam from Udemy. It's a great course to learn both Functional programming and Stream API in Java 8.

How to use range, rangeClosed, sum, and sorted() of IntStream in Java 8

Here is our complete Java program to demonstrate how to create IntStream in Java 8 and how to use its variable methods like range() and the rangeClosed() for generating integer sequences and its aggregation and grouping function to calculate maximum, minimum, and average values.

That's all about how to use the IntStream example in Java 8. In this article, I have shown you how you can create a stream of integer values and how you can use IntStream class to calculate aggregation and grouping like calculating maximum, minimum, sum, and average from a list of values.
