[英]What's the purpose of the IntStream.empty() method?
During a tutorial about the new JDK8 stream API I ran across the static .empty()
method of IntStream
, DoubleStream
and LongStream
. 在关于新JDK8流API的教程中,我遇到了
IntStream
, DoubleStream
和LongStream
的静态.empty()
方法。
So when does it make sense to use this methods? 那么什么时候使用这种方法有意义呢?
A good example is to create the IntStream
from the OptionalInt
: you want a singleton stream if the optional is present and an empty stream if the optional is absent: 一个很好的例子是从
OptionalInt
创建IntStream
:如果存在可选项,则需要单例流;如果不存在可选项,则需要空流:
public static IntStream ofOptional(OptionalInt optional) {
return optional.isPresent() ? IntStream.of(optional.get()) : IntStream.empty();
}
Actually such method is already added to JDK9. 实际上这种方法已经添加到JDK9中。
(You had asked about the empty()
method on IntStream
, LongStream
, and DoubleStream
, but this method is also on the Stream
interface for reference types.) (您曾询问过
IntStream
, LongStream
和DoubleStream
上的empty()
方法,但此方法也在Stream
接口上用于引用类型。)
The general answer is that empty()
is useful as a stream source for passing to an API that takes a stream -- either as an argument or as a return value -- and when you have no values to pass. 一般的答案是,
empty()
可用作传递给获取流的API的流源 - 无论是作为参数还是作为返回值 - 以及没有要传递的值。 In most cases you can't pass null
, you have to pass a stream of some sort. 在大多数情况下,您不能传递
null
,您必须传递某种类型的流。 The way to get a stream that has no values is to use Stream.empty()
and friends. 获取没有值的流的方法是使用
Stream.empty()
和朋友。
Here's an example that repeats even numbers and drops odd numbers and collects them into a list: 这是一个重复偶数并丢弃奇数并将它们收集到列表中的示例:
List<Integer> list =
IntStream.range(0, 10)
.flatMap(i -> (i & 1) == 0 ? IntStream.of(i, i) : IntStream.empty())
.boxed()
.collect(Collectors.toList());
The result is 结果是
[0, 0, 2, 2, 4, 4, 6, 6, 8, 8]
as one would expect. 正如人们所料。 The main point is that
flatMap()
passes in a single value and expects to receive an arbitrary number of values, including zero values. 重点是
flatMap()
传递一个值,并期望接收任意数量的值,包括零值。 The way this is done is to to have the flat-mapping operation return a stream of values. 这样做的方法是让flat-mapping操作返回一个值流。 To have it return zero values, it returns an empty stream.
要使其返回零值,它将返回一个空流。
You can use to initialize an empty Stream, of any of the types mentioned by you. 您可以使用初始化您提到的任何类型的空Stream。 I see it as a another way how to construct a new object.
我将其视为构建新对象的另一种方式。 Simple as that.
就那么简单。
