Modify property value of the objects in list using Java 8 streams

In this tutorial, we will see how to change object property one by one using stream api that is provided in Java 8.

So for that first we need to create POJO class. So lets create one User class and add two properties

  1. Name and 
  2. Salary

User.java

package Java8;

public class User {
    
    private String name;
    private Integer salary;
    
    public User(String name, Integer salary) {
        this.name = name;
        this.salary = salary;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public Integer getSalary() {
        return salary;
    }
    public void setSalary(Integer salary) {
        this.salary = salary;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "User [name = " + name + ", salary = " + salary + "]";
    }
     
}

Add getter, setter and toString method in User class.

Now we creating another java class where we can perform our modify operation in User object.

In following example we are changing the name of user Object from lowercase to UPPERCASE using stream.

ModifyObjectProperty.java

package Java8;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class ModifyObjectProperty {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        List<User> list = new ArrayList<User>();
        list.add(new User("user 1", 10000));
        list.add(new User("user 2", 50000));
        list.add(new User("user 3", 25000));
        list.add(new User("user 4", 20000));
        list.add(new User("user 5", 15000));
        
        System.out.println("Before Changing the User Object");
        System.out.println(list);
        
        // Changing the User object name property 
        // from lowercase to UPPERCASE using stream
        List<User> newList = list.stream()
            .map(user -> new User(user.getName().toUpperCase(), user.getSalary()))
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
        
        System.out.println("After Changing the User Object");
        System.out.println(newList);
    }

}

Output :-

Before Changing the User Object
[User [name = user 1, salary = 10000], User [name = user 2, salary = 50000], 
User [name = user 3, salary = 25000], User [name = user 4, salary = 20000], 
User [name = user 5, salary = 15000]]

After Changing the User Object
[User [name = USER 1, salary = 10000], User [name = USER 2, salary = 50000], 
User [name = USER 3, salary = 25000], User [name = USER 4, salary = 20000], 
User [name = USER 5, salary = 15000]]

Explanation :-

We are modifying the User name form lower to upper using java 8 stream map() method. We are storing modified User names in newList list.

Learn more about java 8 stream map() method.

In above example we are string modified value in new list. but what if we want to change in same list.

So we can use forEach() method for that. Let's see how we can done that.

ModifyObjectProperty.java

package Java8;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class ModifyObjectProperty {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        List<User> list = new ArrayList<User>();
        list.add(new User("user 1", 10000));
        list.add(new User("user 2", 50000));
        list.add(new User("user 3", 25000));
        list.add(new User("user 4", 20000));
        list.add(new User("user 5", 15000));
        
        System.out.println("Before Changing the User Object");
        System.out.println(list);

        // Changing User object salary property as 
	// adding 500 using forEach
	list.forEach(user -> user.setSalary(user.getSalary() + 500));
        
        System.out.println("After Changing the User Object");
        System.out.println(list);
        
    }
}

Output :-

Before Changing the User Object
[User [name = user 1, salary = 10000], User [name = user 2, salary = 50000], 
User [name = user 3, salary = 25000], User [name = user 4, salary = 20000], 
User [name = user 5, salary = 15000]]

After Changing the User Object
[User [name = user 1, salary = 10500], User [name = user 2, salary = 50500], 
User [name = user 3, salary = 25500], User [name = user 4, salary = 20500], 
User [name = user 5, salary = 15500]]

In above example, we are adding 500 in salary property for modify object using forEach. We are modifying salary property in same list.

 

Happy Coding.

Sales by Match HackerRank Solution | Java Solution

HackerRank Sales by Match problem solution in Java   Problem Description : Alex works at a clothing store. There is a large pile of socks that must be paired by color for sale. Given an array of integers representing the color of each sock, determine how many pairs of socks with matching colors there are. For example, there are n=7 socks with colors socks = [1,2,1,2,1,3,2]. There is one pair of color 1 and one of color 2 . There are three odd socks left, one of each color. The number of pairs is 2 .   Example 1 : Input : n = 6 arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Output : 0 Explanation : We have 6 socks with all different colors, So print 0. Example 2 : Input : n = 10 arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4, 2, 7, 9, 9] Output : 4 Explanation : We have 10 socks. There is pair of color 1, 2, 4 and 9, So print 4. This problem easily solved by HashMap . Store all pair of socks one by one in Map and check if any pair is present in Map or not. If pair is present then increment ans variable by 1 ...

Flipping the Matrix HackerRank Solution in Java with Explanation

Java Solution for Flipping the Matrix | Find Highest Sum of Upper-Left Quadrant of Matrix Problem Description : Sean invented a game involving a 2n * 2n matrix where each cell of the matrix contains an integer. He can reverse any of its rows or columns any number of times. The goal of the game is to maximize the sum of the elements in the n *n submatrix located in the upper-left quadrant of the matrix. Given the initial configurations for q matrices, help Sean reverse the rows and columns of each matrix in the best possible way so that the sum of the elements in the matrix's upper-left quadrant is maximal.  Input : matrix = [[1, 2], [3, 4]] Output : 4 Input : matrix = [[112, 42, 83, 119], [56, 125, 56, 49], [15, 78, 101, 43], [62, 98, 114, 108]] Output : 119 + 114 + 56 + 125 = 414 Full Problem Description : Flipping the Matrix Problem Description   Here we can find solution using following pattern, So simply we have to find Max of same number of box like (1,1,1,1).
