Java：从列表中删除以其他列表中的元素开头的元素

Question

Is there a way to do something like:

words.removeIf(specialWords::contains);

But by replacing "contains" by "startWith"

Answer 1

I would try the following:

words.removeIf(value -> specialWords.stream().anyMatch(value::startsWith));

This should remove every item from words that start with any of the specialWords .
