Java Arrays stream(T[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex) Method

Description

The Java Arrays stream(T[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex) method returns a Stream covering the specified range of the specified array.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.util.Arrays.stream(T[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex) method

 public static <T> Stream<T> stream(T[] array, int fromIndex, int toIndex) 

Parameters

• a − This is the array, assumed to be unmodified during use.

• fromIndex − This is the index of the first element, inclusive, to be covered.

• toIndex − This is the index of the last element, exclusive, to be covered

Return Value

This method returns a stream for the array elements.

Exception

• ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException − if fromIndex < 0 or toIndex > array.length

Getting stream of Array of Objects Example

The following example shows the usage of Java Arrays stream(T[]) method. First, we've created an array of student objects. Using stream() method, array is printed thereafter.

 package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Arrays; public class ArrayDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // initialize array Student arr[] = { new Student(1, "Julie"), new Student(2, "Robert"), new Student(3, "Adam"), new Student(4, "Jene") }; System.out.print("Array: [ "); // use the stream to print each item Arrays.stream(arr).forEach(i -> System.out.print(i + " ")); System.out.print("]"); } } class Student { int rollNo; String name; Student(int rollNo, String name){ this.rollNo = rollNo; this.name = name; } @Override public String toString() { return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]"; } } 

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

 Array: [ [ 1, Julie ] [ 2, Robert ] [ 3, Adam ] [ 4, Jene ] ] 

Getting stream of Array of Objects using Range Example

The following example shows the usage of Java Arrays stream(T[], int, int) method. First, we've created an array of student objects. Using stream() method, array is printed thereafter.

 package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Arrays; public class ArrayDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // initialize array Student arr[] = { new Student(1, "Julie"), new Student(2, "Robert"), new Student(3, "Adam"), new Student(4, "Jene") }; System.out.print("Array: [ "); // use the stream to print each item Arrays.stream(arr, 0, arr.length).forEach(i -> System.out.print(i + " ")); System.out.print("]"); } } class Student { int rollNo; String name; Student(int rollNo, String name){ this.rollNo = rollNo; this.name = name; } @Override public String toString() { return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]"; } } 

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

 Array: [ [ 1, Julie ] [ 2, Robert ] [ 3, Adam ] [ 4, Jene ] ] 

Getting stream of Sub-Array of Objects Example

The following example shows the usage of Java Arrays stream(T[], int, int) method. First, we've created an array of student objects. Using stream() method, a sub-array is printed thereafter.

 package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Arrays; public class ArrayDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // initialize array Student arr[] = { new Student(1, "Julie"), new Student(2, "Robert"), new Student(3, "Adam"), new Student(4, "Jene") }; System.out.print("Array: [ "); // use the stream to print each item Arrays.stream(arr, 0, 3).forEach(i -> System.out.print(i + " ")); System.out.print("]"); } } class Student { int rollNo; String name; Student(int rollNo, String name){ this.rollNo = rollNo; this.name = name; } @Override public String toString() { return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]"; } } 

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

 Array: [ [ 1, Julie ] [ 2, Robert ] [ 3, Adam ] ]
