183. Finding elements in a stream

Besides using filter(), which allows us to filter elements of a stream by a predicate, we can find an element in a stream via anyFirst() and findFirst().

Let's assume that we have the following list wrapped in a stream:

List<String> melons = Arrays.asList(  "Gac", "Cantaloupe", "Hemi", "Gac", "Gac",     "Hemi", "Cantaloupe", "Horned", "Hemi", "Hemi");
