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

String[] namesArray = {"Sam","Pamela", "Dave", "Pascal", "Erik"};
String completeString
         =  IntStream.range(0,namesArray.length)
           .mapToObj(i -> namesArray[i]) // Converting each array element into Object
           .map(String::valueOf) // Converting object to String again
           .collect(Collectors.joining(",")); // getting a Concat String of all values
        System.out.println(completeString);

OUTPUT : Sam,Pamela,Dave,Pascal,Erik

String[] namesArray = {"Sam","Pamela", "Dave", "Pascal", "Erik"};

IntStream.range(0,namesArray.length)
               .mapToObj(i -> namesArray[i]) // Converting each array element into Object
               .map(String::valueOf) // Converting object to String again
               .forEach(s -> {
                //You can do various operation on each element here
                System.out.println(s);
               }); // getting a Concat String of all 

To Collect in the List:

String[] namesArray = {"Sam","Pamela", "Dave", "Pascal", "Erik"};
 List namesList
                =  IntStream.range(0,namesArray.length)
                .mapToObj(i -> namesArray[i]) // Converting each array element into Object
                .map(String::valueOf) // Converting object to String again
                .collect(Collectors.toList()); // collecting elements in List
        System.out.println(listWithIndex);
