Is there a Java 8 stream operation that limits a (potentially infinite) Stream
until the first element fails to match a predicate?
In Java 9 we can use
IntStream.iterate(1, n -> n + 1)
.peek(System.out::println) //it will be executed 9 times
.filter(n->n>=9)
.findAny();
instead of peak you can use mapToObj to return final object or message
IntStream.iterate(1, n -> n + 1)
.mapToObj(n->{ //it will be executed 9 times
if(n<9)
return "";
return "Loop repeats " + n + " times";});
.filter(message->!message.isEmpty())
.findAny()
.ifPresent(System.out::println);
