Lazy Evaluation in Streams

Explore how Java 8 streams use lazy evaluation to optimize processing by delaying computation of intermediate operations until a terminal operation is called. Understand this concept through examples that demonstrate efficient filtering and retrieval of elements from collections.

We'll cover the following...

In Java 8 streams the intermediate operations are not evaluated until a terminal operation is invoked.

Each intermediate operation creates a new stream, stores the provided operation/function, and returns the new stream. When a terminal operation is called, the traversal of streams begins and the associated ...
