What is the best way to filter a Java Collection?

Question

I want to filter a java.util.Collection based on a predicate.

Answer 1

In Java 8, You can directly use this filter method and then do that.

 List lines = Arrays.asList("java", "pramod", "example");

 List result = lines.stream()              
         .filter(line -> !"pramod".equals(line))     
         .collect(Collectors.toList());              

 result.forEach(System.out::println);
