Using a stream to iterate n times instead of using a for loop to create n items

Question

Say I want to create n items. Pre Java 8, I would write:

List list = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    list.add(new My         


        

Answer 1

You could use Stream#generate with limit:

Stream.generate(MyClass::new).limit(10);
