Lernen Checking Stream Elements Against a Condition with allMatch()

When working with data streams, you often need to check whether elements meet certain conditions. For example, you might want to verify that all items in a shopping cart are in stock, that at least one item is discounted, or that there are no canceled orders.

To handle these cases, Stream API provides three useful methods: allMatch(), anyMatch(), and noneMatch(). These methods allow you to quickly check whether stream elements satisfy a given predicate.

allMatch() Method

The allMatch() method checks whether all elements in a stream satisfy a given predicate. If at least one element does not meet the condition, the method returns false.

boolean allMatch(Predicate<? super T> predicate)

This method takes a predicate—a function that returns a boolean—and applies it to each element in the stream. If all elements satisfy the condition, it returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Practical Example

In an online store, free shipping is available if all items in the cart cost more than $10. You need to check whether free shipping applies to the current order.

Main.java


              1234567891011121314151617
            
package com.example;

import java.util.List;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Integer> prices = List.of(15, 20, 12, 9); // Item prices

        boolean freeShipping = prices.stream().allMatch(price -> price > 10);

        if (freeShipping) {
            System.out.println("Free shipping applied.");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Not all items qualify for free shipping.");
        }
    }
}

In this code, you create a list of item prices: [15, 20, 12, 9]. The method allMatch(price -> price > 10) checks if all items cost more than $10. If they do, a message about successful free shipping is displayed; otherwise, a message indicating that not all items qualify appears.

anyMatch() Method

The anyMatch() method checks whether at least one element in a stream satisfies a given predicate. If at least one element meets the condition, the method returns true and stops processing.

boolean anyMatch(Predicate<? super T> predicate)

This method takes a predicate and applies it to each element in the stream. As soon as it finds a matching element, it returns true and stops execution.

Practical Example

An online store offers a VIP program if at least one item in the cart costs more than $500. You need to check if the customer qualifies for VIP status.

Main.java


              1234567891011121314151617
            
package com.example;

import java.util.List;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Integer> prices = List.of(530, 300, 40, 120); // Item prices

        boolean hasExpensiveItem = prices.stream().anyMatch(price -> price > 500);

        if (hasExpensiveItem) {
            System.out.println("Customer qualifies for VIP status.");
        } else {
            System.out.println("No expensive items in the cart.");
        }
    }
}

Here, the method anyMatch(price -> price > 500) checks whether there is at least one item priced over $500. If found, hasExpensiveItem becomes true, and a message about qualifying for VIP status is printed; otherwise, a message indicating no expensive items in the cart appears.

noneMatch() Method

The noneMatch() method checks whether none of the elements in a stream satisfy a given predicate. If no elements match the condition, the method returns true.

boolean noneMatch(Predicate<? super T> predicate)

This method takes a predicate and applies it to each element in the stream. If no elements meet the condition, it returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Practical Example

An online store does not allow items with a price below zero. You need to check if there are any such items in the cart.

Main.java


              1234567891011121314151617
            
package com.example;

import java.util.List;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Integer> prices = List.of(1500, 2000, 3000, 0); // Item prices

        boolean noFreeItems = prices.stream().noneMatch(price -> price < 0);

        if (noFreeItems) {
            System.out.println("All items have valid prices.");
        } else {
            System.out.println("The cart contains an item with a zero price.");
        }
    }
}

In this example, noneMatch(price -> price < 0) checks if there are no items priced below $0. If all items have a valid price, a message confirming this is printed; otherwise, a message indicating the presence of an item with an invalid price appears.

1. Which method checks if at least one element in the stream satisfies a condition?

2. Which method should you use to ensure there are no values less than zero in a list?

War alles klar?
