How can I filter string value with starting letter?

Let’s say the following is our String List −

List list = Arrays.asList("Jonny", "David", "Tony", "Jacob", "Smith", "Bravo", "Gayle", "John");

Now filter the string value with starting letter −

Stream stream = list.stream().filter(name -> name.startsWith("J"));

The following is an example to filter string value with starting letter −

Example

import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; import java.util.stream.Stream; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       List list = Arrays.asList("Jonny", "David", "Tony", "Jacob", "Smith",          "Bravo", "Gayle", "John");       System.out.println("List with elements...");       for (String res : list) {          System.out.print(res+" ");       }       Stream stream = list.stream().filter(name -> name.startsWith("J"));       System.out.println("\nGetting strings beginning with letter J =        "+stream.collect(Collectors.toList()));    } }

Output

List with elements... Jonny David Tony Jacob Smith Bravo Gayle John Getting strings beginning with letter J = [Jonny, Jacob, John]
