What is a Stream?#

A Stream is a sequence of elements processed in a functional style.

Key Characteristics of Streams

  1. Not a Data Structure: Unlike collections (e.g., List, Set), a Stream does not store elements. Instead, it provides a way to process elements from a source.

  2. Lazy Evaluation: Stream operations are performed lazily, meaning they are not executed until a terminal operation (like collect, forEach, or reduce) is invoked.

  3. Functional Style: Streams rely on functional-style operations, such as filter, map, and reduce, which can be chained together to form a pipeline of operations.

  4. Parallel Processing: Streams can be processed in parallel, making it easier to write parallel code and improve performance.
