Java 8: preferred way to count iterations of a lambda?

Question

I face the same problem often. I need to count the runs of a lambda for use outside the lambda.

E.g.:

myStream.stream().filter(...).forEa         


        

Answer 1

AtomicInteger runCount = new AtomicInteger(0);

elements.stream()
  //...
  .peek(runCount.incrementAndGet())
  .collect(Collectors.toList());

// runCount.get() should have the num of times lambda code was executed
