比较列表中2个不同对象属性的最有效方法

Question

I have 2 ArrayLists of custom objects. I am making a nested loops to compare them and find matches.

However, is there anything better? I read something about retainAll for primitive types, but I can't find a way how to apply it here. I also read something about overriding the equals() , can't get that either, as this is two different objects.

for (String email : emailsOfContactsWhoFitDynConFilter) {
            for (Contact contact : emailClicks.items) { 
                if (email.equals(contact.EmailAddress) && (contact.link).split("\\?")[0].equals(linkInDynamicContent.split("\\?")[0])) {
                    count++;
                    break;
                }
        }

Answer 1

I wouldn't pretend this is the most efficient way , but I'd do something like that:

Set<String> emails = new HashSet<>(emailsOfContactsWhoFitDynConFilter);
String token = linkInDynamicContent.split("\\?")[0];
int count = items.stream().parallel()
        .filter(contact -> emails.contains(contact.EmailAddress))
        .filter(contact -> contact.link.split("\\?")[0].equals(token))
        .count();
