Stream map() in Java with examples

Stream map(Function mapper) returns a stream consisting of the results of applying the given function to the elements of this stream.

Stream map(Function mapper) is an intermediate operation. These operations are always lazy. Intermediate operations are invoked on a Stream instance and after they finish their processing, they give a Stream instance as output.

Syntax :

<R> Stream<R> map(Function<? super T, ? extends R> mapper)

where, R is the element type of the new stream.
Stream is an interface and T is the type 
of stream elements. mapper is a stateless function 
which is applied to each element and the function
returns the new stream.

Example 1 : Stream map() function with operation of number * 3 on each element of stream.

class GFG {
  
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)

        // Creating a list of Integers
        List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(3, 6, 9, 12, 15);
  
        // Using Stream map(Function mapper) and
        // displaying the corresponding new stream
        list.stream().map(number -> number * 3).forEach(System.out::println);
    }

                        filter_none








Output :


The stream after applying the function is : 
9
18
27
36
45



Example 2 : Stream map() function with operation of converting lowercase to uppercase.
