Is there a concise way to iterate over a stream with indices in Java 8?

Question

Is there a concise way to iterate over a stream whilst having access to the index in the stream?

String[] names = {\"Sam\",\"Pamela\", \"Dave\", \"Pascal\",          


        

Answer 1

You can create a static inner class to encapsulate the indexer as I needed to do in example below:

static class Indexer {
    int i = 0;
}

public static String getRegex() {
    EnumSet range = EnumSet.allOf(MeasureUnit.class);
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    Indexer indexer = new Indexer();
    range.stream().forEach(
            measureUnit -> {
                sb.append(measureUnit.acronym);
                if (indexer.i < range.size() - 1)
                    sb.append("|");

                indexer.i++;
            }
    );
    return sb.toString();
}
