Java Coding Problems

91. Using LVTI to break up nested/large chains of expressions

Large/nested expressions are usually snippets of codes that look pretty impressive and are intimidating. They are commonly seen as pieces of smart or clever code. It is controversial as to whether this is good or bad, but most likely, the balance tends to be in favor of those who claim that such code should be avoided. For example, check out the following expression:

List<Integer> ints = List.of(1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 2, 1, 5, 4, 5);// Avoidint result = ints.stream()  .collect(Collectors.partitioningBy(i -> i % 2 == 0))  .values()  .stream()  .max(Comparator.comparing(List::size))  .orElse(Collections.emptyList())  .stream()  .mapToInt(Integer::intValue)  .sum();

Such expressions can be ...
