How to do it...

We will walk you through the sequence of practical steps that demonstrate how to use the preceding methods and classes:

  1. Write an example of the usage of the R collect(Supplier<R> supplier, BiConsumer<R,T> accumulator, BiConsumer<R,R> combiner) operation of the Stream<T> interface that produces the List<T> object:
 List<Person> list =     Stream.of(new Person(30, "John"), new Person(20, "Jill"))    .collect(ArrayList::new,             List::add,      //same as: (a,p)-> a.add(p),             List::addAll    //same as: (r, r1)-> r.addAll(r1)    ); System.out.println(list);   //prints: [Person{name:John,age:30}, Person{name:Jill,age:20}]  

In the preceding example, the comments to the accumulator and the combiner demonstrate how these functions can be presented as lambda ...
