Java-8 Lambda Expression Tutorial - Iterate Over List Using Lambda Expression

Iterate Over List Using Lambda Expression

In Normal way we iterate over list using for each loop But Java 8 provide another way to iterate over list using lambda expression.

package com.kodemaker;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class IterateListUsingLambdaExpression {
 
 public static void main(String[] args) {
   
   List<String> iterateList = new ArrayList<String>();
   iterateList.add("1");
   iterateList.add("2");
   iterateList.add("3");
   iterateList.add("4");
   iterateList.add("5");
   
   System.out.println("Simple for each example");
   
   for(String currentElement :iterateList){
    System.out.println("Item in List "+currentElement);
   }
   
   System.out.println("for each example using lambda expression");
   
   iterateList.forEach(currentElement ->System.out.println("Item in List "+currentElement ));
 }
 
}

Simple for each example
