distinct()returns a stream consisting of distinct elements in a stream. distinct() is the method of
Streaminterface. This method uses
hashCode()and
equals()methods to get distinct elements. In case of ordered streams, the selection of distinct elements is stable. But, in case of unordered streams, the selection of distinct elements is not necessarily stable and can change. distinct() performs
stateful intermediate operationi.e, it maintains some state internally to accomplish the operation.
Syntax :Stream<T> distinct() Where, Stream is an interface and the function returns a stream consisting of the distinct elements.
Below given are some examples to understand the implementation of the function in a better way.
Example 1 : Java
// Implementation of Stream.distinct()
// to get the distinct elements in the List
import java.util.*;
class GFG {
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating a list of integers
List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5);
System.out.println("The distinct elements are :");
// Displaying the distinct elements in the list
// using Stream.distinct() method
list.stream().distinct().forEach(System.out::println);
}
}
Output :
The distinct elements are : 1 2 3 4 5Example 2 : Java
// Implementation of Stream.distinct()
// to get the distinct elements in the List
import java.util.*;
class GFG {
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating a list of strings
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("Geeks", "for", "Geeks",
"GeeksQuiz", "for", "GeeksforGeeks");
System.out.println("The distinct elements are :");
// Displaying the distinct elements in the list
// using Stream.distinct() method
list.stream().distinct().forEach(System.out::println);
}
}
Output :
The distinct elements are : Geeks for GeeksQuiz GeeksforGeeksExample 3 : Java
// Implementation of Stream.distinct()
// to get the count of distinct elements
// in the List
import java.util.*;
class GFG {
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating a list of strings
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("Geeks", "for", "Geeks",
"GeeksQuiz", "for", "GeeksforGeeks");
// Storing the count of distinct elements
// in the list using Stream.distinct() method
long Count = list.stream().distinct().count();
// Displaying the count of distinct elements
System.out.println("The count of distinct elements is : " + Count);
}
}
Output :
The count of distinct elements is : 4
