If we want to create unlimited streams of pseudorandom values, we can rely on the methods of Random, such as ints(), longs(), and doubles(). For example, an unlimited stream of pseudorandom integer values can be declared as follows (the generated integers will be in the [1, 100] range):
IntStream rndInfStream = new Random().ints(1, 100);
Trying to fetch a list of 10 even pseudorandom integer values can rely on this stream:
List<Integer> result = rndInfStream .filter(i -> i % 2 == 0) .limit(10) .boxed() .collect(Collectors.toList());
One possible output is as follows:
8, 24, 82, 42, 90, 18, 26, 96, 86, 86
This time, it is harder to say how many numbers were actually generated until the aforementioned ...
