Convert elements to strings and concatenate them, separated by commas

// Java: String joined = things.stream() .map(Object::toString) .collect(Collectors.joining(", ")); // Kotlin: val joined = things.joinToString() // ", " is used as separator, by default

Filter a list to another list

// Java: List<String> filtered = items.stream() .filter( item -> item.startsWith("o") ) .collect(Collectors.toList()); // Kotlin: val filtered = items.filter { item.startsWith('o') }

Different Kinds of Streams #4 - iterate an array, map the values, calculate the average

// Java: Arrays.stream(new int[] {1, 2, 3}) .map(n -> 2 * n + 1) .average() .ifPresent(System.out::println); // 5.0 // Kotlin: arrayOf(1,2,3).map { 2 * it + 1}.average().apply(::println)

Different Kinds of Streams #5 - lazily iterate a list of strings, map the values, convert to Int, find max

// Java: Stream.of("a1", "a2", "a3") .map(s -> s.substring(1)) .mapToInt(Integer::parseInt) .max() .ifPresent(System.out::println); // 3 // Kotlin: sequenceOf("a1", "a2", "a3") .map { it.substring(1) } ...

Different Kinds of Streams #6 - lazily iterate a stream of Ints, map the values, print results

// Java: IntStream.range(1, 4) .mapToObj(i -> "a" + i) .forEach(System.out::println); // a1 // a2 // a3 // Kotlin: (inclusive range) (1..3).map { "a$it" }.forEach(::println)

How streams work - filter, upper case, then sort a list

// Java: List<String> myList = Arrays.asList("a1", "a2", "b1", "c2", "c1"); myList.stream() .filter(s -> s.startsWith("c")) .map(String::toUpperCase) .sorted() .forEach(System.out::println); // C1 ...

Collect example #6 - group people by age, print age and names together

// Java: Map<Integer, String> map = persons .stream() .collect(Collectors.toMap( p -> p.age, p -> p.name, (name1, name2) -> name1 + ";" + name2)); System.out.println(map); // {18=Max, 23=Peter;Pamela, ...

Collect example #7a - Map names, join together with delimiter

The Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (CRTP)

CRTP is a powerful, static alternative to virtual functions and traditional inheritance that can be used to give types properties at compile time. It works by having a base class template which takes, as one of its template parameters, the derived class. This permits it to legally perform a static_c...

Creating a shared link for a file using the Dropbox Java library

This uses the Dropbox Java SDK to create a shared link for a file at the Dropbox path /test.txt: try { SharedLinkMetadata sharedLinkMetadata = client.sharing().createSharedLinkWithSettings("/test.txt"); System.out.println(sharedLinkMetadata.getUrl()); } catch (CreateSharedLinkW...

Getting a shared link for a file using the Dropbox .NET library

This example uses the Dropbox .NET library to get a shared link for a file, either by creating a new one, or retrieving an existing one: SharedLinkMetadata sharedLinkMetadata; try { sharedLinkMetadata = await this.client.Sharing.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync (path); } catch (ApiException...

Padding the output

String can be formatted to accept a padding parameter that will specify how many character positions the inserted string will use : ${value, padding} NOTE: Positive padding values indicate left padding and negative padding values indicate right padding. Left Padding A left padding of 5 (a...

Link to a page on the same site

You can use a relative path to link to pages on the same website. <a href="/example">Text Here</a> The above example would go to the file example at the root directory (/) of the server. If this link was on http://example.com, the following two links would bring the user...

Iterating the elements of a map

import fmt people := map[string]int{ "john": 30, "jane": 29, "mark": 11, } for key, value := range people { fmt.Println("Name:", key, "Age:", value) } Note that when iterating over a map with a range loop, the iteration order i...

Iterating the keys of a map

people := map[string]int{ "john": 30, "jane": 29, "mark": 11, } for key, _ := range people { fmt.Println("Name:", key) } If you are just looking for the keys, since they are the first value, you can simply drop the underscore: for key := r...

Negate a Bool with the prefix ! operator

The prefix ! operator returns the logical negation of its argument. That is, !true returns false, and !false returns true. print(!true) // prints "false" print(!false) // prints "true" func test(_ someBoolean: Bool) { if !someBoolean { print("someBoolean ...

Recurse the whole pattern

The construct (?R) is equivalent to (?0) (or \g<0>) - it lets you recurse the whole pattern: <(?>[^<>]+|(?R))+> This will match properly balanced angle brackets with any text in-between the brackets, like <a<b>c<d>e>.
