# Class Collectors

java.lang.Object
java.util.stream.Collectors

public final class Collectors extends Object
Implementations of `Collector` that implement various useful reduction operations, such as accumulating elements into collections, summarizing elements according to various criteria, etc.

The following are examples of using the predefined collectors to perform common mutable reduction tasks:

    // Accumulate names into a List
    List<String> list = people.stream()
      .map(Person::getName)
      .collect(Collectors.toList());

    // Accumulate names into a TreeSet
    Set<String> set = people.stream()
      .map(Person::getName)
      .collect(Collectors.toCollection(TreeSet::new));

    // Convert elements to strings and concatenate them, separated by commas
    String joined = things.stream()
      .map(Object::toString)
      .collect(Collectors.joining(", "));

    // Compute sum of salaries of employee
    int total = employees.stream()
      .collect(Collectors.summingInt(Employee::getSalary));

    // Group employees by department
    Map<Department, List<Employee>> byDept = employees.stream()
      .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Employee::getDepartment));

    // Compute sum of salaries by department
    Map<Department, Integer> totalByDept = employees.stream()
      .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Employee::getDepartment,
                                     Collectors.summingInt(Employee::getSalary)));

    // Partition students into passing and failing
    Map<Boolean, List<Student>> passingFailing = students.stream()
      .collect(Collectors.partitioningBy(s -> s.getGrade() >= PASS_THRESHOLD));

Adapts a `Collector` accepting elements of type `U` to one accepting elements of type `T` by applying a mapping function to each input element before accumulation.

API Note:
  The `mapping()` collectors are most useful when used in a multi-level reduction, such as downstream of a `groupingBy` or `partitioningBy`. For example, given a stream of `Person`, to accumulate the set of last names in each city:

      Map<City, Set<String>> lastNamesByCity
        = people.stream().collect(
          groupingBy(Person::getCity,
                     mapping(Person::getLastName,
                             toSet())));

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `U` - type of elements accepted by downstream collector
  `A` - intermediate accumulation type of the downstream collector
  `R` - result type of collector
Parameters:
  `mapper` - a function to be applied to the input elements
  `downstream` - a collector which will accept mapped values
Returns:
  a collector which applies the mapping function to the input elements and provides the mapped results to the downstream collector

### flatMapping

public static <T,U,A,R> Collector<T,?,R> flatMapping(Function<? super T, ? extends Stream<? extends U>> mapper, Collector<? super U, A, R> downstream)
Adapts a `Collector` accepting elements of type `U` to one accepting elements of type `T` by applying a flat mapping function to each input element before accumulation. The flat mapping function maps an input element to a `stream` covering zero or more output elements that are then accumulated downstream. Each mapped stream is `closed` after its contents have been placed downstream. (If a mapped stream is `null` an empty stream is used, instead.)

API Note:
  The `flatMapping()` collectors are most useful when used in a multi-level reduction, such as downstream of a `groupingBy` or `partitioningBy`. For example, given a stream of `Order`, to accumulate the set of line items for each customer:

      Map<String, Set<LineItem>> itemsByCustomerName
        = orders.stream().collect(
          groupingBy(Order::getCustomerName,
                     flatMapping(order -> order.getLineItems().stream(),
                                 toSet())));

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `U` - type of elements accepted by downstream collector
  `A` - intermediate accumulation type of the downstream collector
  `R` - result type of collector
Parameters:
  `mapper` - a function to be applied to the input elements, which returns a stream of results
  `downstream` - a collector which will receive the elements of the stream returned by mapper
Returns:
  a collector which applies the mapping function to the input elements and provides the flat mapped results to the downstream collector
Since:
  9

### filtering

public static <T,A,R> Collector<T,?,R> filtering(Predicate<? super T> predicate, Collector<? super T, A, R> downstream)
Adapts a `Collector` to one accepting elements of the same type `T` by applying the predicate to each input element and only accumulating if the predicate returns `true`.

API Note:
  The `filtering()` collectors are most useful when used in a multi-level reduction, such as downstream of a `groupingBy` or `partitioningBy`. For example, given a stream of `Employee`, to accumulate the employees in each department that have a salary above a certain threshold:

      Map<Department, Set<Employee>> wellPaidEmployeesByDepartment
        = employees.stream().collect(
          groupingBy(Employee::getDepartment,
                     filtering(e -> e.getSalary() > 2000,
                               toSet())));

  A filtering collector differs from a stream's `filter()` operation. In this example, suppose there are no employees whose salary is above the threshold in some department. Using a filtering collector as shown above would result in a mapping from that department to an empty `Set`. If a stream `filter()` operation were done instead, there would be no mapping for that department at all.
Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `A` - intermediate accumulation type of the downstream collector
  `R` - result type of collector
Parameters:
  `predicate` - a predicate to be applied to the input elements
  `downstream` - a collector which will accept values that match the predicate
Returns:
  a collector which applies the predicate to the input elements and provides matching elements to the downstream collector
Since:
  9

### collectingAndThen

public static <T,A,R,RR> Collector<T,A,RR> collectingAndThen(Collector<T,A,R> downstream, Function<R,RR> finisher)
Adapts a `Collector` to perform an additional finishing transformation. For example, one could adapt the `toList()` collector to always produce an immutable list with:

    List<String> list = people.stream().collect(
      collectingAndThen(toList(),
                        Collections::unmodifiableList));

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `A` - intermediate accumulation type of the downstream collector
  `R` - result type of the downstream collector
  `RR` - result type of the resulting collector
Parameters:
  `downstream` - a collector
  `finisher` - a function to be applied to the final result of the downstream collector
Returns:
  a collector which performs the action of the downstream collector, followed by an additional finishing step

The sum returned can vary depending upon the order in which values are recorded, due to accumulated rounding error in addition of values of differing magnitudes. Values sorted by increasing absolute magnitude tend to yield more accurate results. If any recorded value is a `NaN` or the sum is at any point a `NaN` then the sum will be `NaN`.

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements

### averagingDouble

public static <T> Collector<T,?,Double> averagingDouble(ToDoubleFunction<? super T> mapper)
Returns a `Collector` that produces the arithmetic mean of a double-valued function applied to the input elements. If no elements are present, the result is 0.

The average returned can vary depending upon the order in which values are recorded, due to accumulated rounding error in addition of values of differing magnitudes. Values sorted by increasing absolute magnitude tend to yield more accurate results. If any recorded value is a `NaN` or the sum is at any point a `NaN` then the average will be `NaN`.

Implementation Note:
  The `double` format can represent all consecutive integers in the range -253 to 253. If the pipeline has more than 253 values, the divisor in the average computation will saturate at 253, leading to additional numerical errors.
Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
Parameters:

Returns:
  a `Collector` that produces the arithmetic mean of a derived property

API Note:
  The `reducing()` collectors are most useful when used in a multi-level reduction, downstream of `groupingBy` or `partitioningBy`. To perform a simple reduction on a stream, use `Stream.reduce(BinaryOperator)` instead.

Returns:
  a `Collector` which implements the reduction operation
See Also:
  - `reducing(Object, BinaryOperator)`
  - `reducing(Object, Function, BinaryOperator)`

### reducing

public static <T,U> Collector<T,?,U> reducing(U identity, Function<? super T, ? extends U> mapper, BinaryOperator<U> op)
Returns a `Collector` which performs a reduction of its input elements under a specified mapping function and `BinaryOperator`. This is a generalization of `reducing(Object, BinaryOperator)` which allows a transformation of the elements before reduction.

API Note:
  The `reducing()` collectors are most useful when used in a multi-level reduction, downstream of `groupingBy` or `partitioningBy`. To perform a simple map-reduce on a stream, use `Stream.map(Function)` and `Stream.reduce(Object, BinaryOperator)` instead.

  For example, given a stream of `Person`, to calculate the longest last name of residents in each city:

      Comparator<String> byLength = Comparator.comparing(String::length);
      Map<City, String> longestLastNameByCity
        = people.stream().collect(
          groupingBy(Person::getCity,
                     reducing("",
                              Person::getLastName,
                              BinaryOperator.maxBy(byLength))));

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `U` - the type of the mapped values
Parameters:
  `identity` - the identity value for the reduction (also, the value that is returned when there are no input elements)
  `mapper` - a mapping function to apply to each input value
  `op` - a `BinaryOperator<U>` used to reduce the mapped values
Returns:
  a `Collector` implementing the map-reduce operation
See Also:
  - `reducing(Object, BinaryOperator)`
  - `reducing(BinaryOperator)`

### groupingBy

public static <T,K> Collector<T, ?, Map<K,List<T>>> groupingBy(Function<? super T, ? extends K> classifier)
Returns a `Collector` implementing a "group by" operation on input elements of type `T`, grouping elements according to a classification function, and returning the results in a `Map`.

The classification function maps elements to some key type `K`. The collector produces a `Map<K, List<T>>` whose keys are the values resulting from applying the classification function to the input elements, and whose corresponding values are `List`s containing the input elements which map to the associated key under the classification function.

There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of the `Map` or `List` objects returned.

Implementation Requirements:
  This produces a result similar to:

          groupingBy(classifier, toList());

Implementation Note:
  The returned `Collector` is not concurrent. For parallel stream pipelines, the `combiner` function operates by merging the keys from one map into another, which can be an expensive operation. If preservation of the order in which elements appear in the resulting `Map` collector is not required, using `groupingByConcurrent(Function)` may offer better parallel performance.
Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `K` - the type of the keys
Parameters:
  `classifier` - the classifier function mapping input elements to keys
Returns:
  a `Collector` implementing the group-by operation
See Also:
  - `groupingBy(Function, Collector)`
  - `groupingBy(Function, Supplier, Collector)`
  - `groupingByConcurrent(Function)`

### groupingBy

public static <T,K,A,D> Collector<T,?,Map<K,D>> groupingBy(Function<? super T, ? extends K> classifier, Collector<? super T, A, D> downstream)
Returns a `Collector` implementing a cascaded "group by" operation on input elements of type `T`, grouping elements according to a classification function, and then performing a reduction operation on the values associated with a given key using the specified downstream `Collector`.

The classification function maps elements to some key type `K`. The downstream collector operates on elements of type `T` and produces a result of type `D`. The resulting collector produces a `Map<K, D>`.

There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of the `Map` returned.

For example, to compute the set of last names of people in each city:

    Map<City, Set<String>> namesByCity
      = people.stream().collect(
        groupingBy(Person::getCity,
                   mapping(Person::getLastName,
                           toSet())));

Implementation Note:
  The returned `Collector` is not concurrent. For parallel stream pipelines, the `combiner` function operates by merging the keys from one map into another, which can be an expensive operation. If preservation of the order in which elements are presented to the downstream collector is not required, using `groupingByConcurrent(Function, Collector)` may offer better parallel performance.
Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `K` - the type of the keys
  `A` - the intermediate accumulation type of the downstream collector
  `D` - the result type of the downstream reduction
Parameters:

Returns a `Collector` implementing a cascaded "group by" operation on input elements of type `T`, grouping elements according to a classification function, and then performing a reduction operation on the values associated with a given key using the specified downstream `Collector`. The `Map` produced by the Collector is created with the supplied factory function.

The classification function maps elements to some key type `K`. The downstream collector operates on elements of type `T` and produces a result of type `D`. The resulting collector produces a `Map<K, D>`.

For example, to compute the set of last names of people in each city, where the city names are sorted:

    Map<City, Set<String>> namesByCity
      = people.stream().collect(
        groupingBy(Person::getCity,
                   TreeMap::new,
                   mapping(Person::getLastName,
                           toSet())));

Implementation Note:
  The returned `Collector` is not concurrent. For parallel stream pipelines, the `combiner` function operates by merging the keys from one map into another, which can be an expensive operation. If preservation of the order in which elements are presented to the downstream collector is not required, using `groupingByConcurrent(Function, Supplier, Collector)` may offer better parallel performance.

### groupingByConcurrent

public static <T,K> Collector<T, ?, ConcurrentMap<K,List<T>>> groupingByConcurrent(Function<? super T, ? extends K> classifier)
Returns a concurrent `Collector` implementing a "group by" operation on input elements of type `T`, grouping elements according to a classification function.

This is a `concurrent` and `unordered` Collector.

The classification function maps elements to some key type `K`. The collector produces a `ConcurrentMap<K, List<T>>` whose keys are the values resulting from applying the classification function to the input elements, and whose corresponding values are `List`s containing the input elements which map to the associated key under the classification function.

There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, or serializability of the `ConcurrentMap` or `List` objects returned, or of the thread-safety of the `List` objects returned.

Implementation Requirements:
  This produces a result similar to:

          groupingByConcurrent(classifier, toList());

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `K` - the type of the keys
Parameters:

Returns:
  a `Collector` implementing the partitioning operation

Returns a `Collector` which partitions the input elements according to a `Predicate`, reduces the values in each partition according to another `Collector`, and organizes them into a `Map<Boolean, D>` whose values are the result of the downstream reduction.

The returned `Map` always contains mappings for both `false` and `true` keys. There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of the `Map` returned.

### toMap

Returns a `Collector` that accumulates elements into a `Map` whose keys and values are the result of applying the provided mapping functions to the input elements.

If the mapped keys contain duplicates (according to `Object.equals(Object)`), an `IllegalStateException` is thrown when the collection operation is performed. If the mapped keys might have duplicates, use `toMap(Function, Function, BinaryOperator)` instead.

There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of the `Map` returned.

API Note:
  It is common for either the key or the value to be the input elements. In this case, the utility method `Function.identity()` may be helpful. For example, the following produces a `Map` mapping students to their grade point average:

      Map<Student, Double> studentToGPA
        = students.stream().collect(
          toMap(Function.identity(),
                student -> computeGPA(student)));

  And the following produces a `Map` mapping a unique identifier to students:

      Map<String, Student> studentIdToStudent
        = students.stream().collect(
          toMap(Student::getId,
                Function.identity()));

Implementation Note:
  The returned `Collector` is not concurrent. For parallel stream pipelines, the `combiner` function operates by merging the keys from one map into another, which can be an expensive operation. If it is not required that results are inserted into the `Map` in encounter order, using `toConcurrentMap(Function, Function)` may offer better parallel performance.
Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `K` - the output type of the key mapping function
  `U` - the output type of the value mapping function
Parameters:
  `keyMapper` - a mapping function to produce keys
  `valueMapper` - a mapping function to produce values
Returns:
  a `Collector` which collects elements into a `Map` whose keys and values are the result of applying mapping functions to the input elements

Returns a `Collector` that accumulates the input elements into an unmodifiable Map, whose keys and values are the result of applying the provided mapping functions to the input elements.

If the mapped keys contain duplicates (according to `Object.equals(Object)`), an `IllegalStateException` is thrown when the collection operation is performed. If the mapped keys might have duplicates, use `toUnmodifiableMap(Function, Function, BinaryOperator)` to handle merging of the values.

The returned Collector disallows null keys and values. If either mapping function returns null, `NullPointerException` will be thrown.

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `K` - the output type of the key mapping function
  `U` - the output type of the value mapping function
Parameters:
  `keyMapper` - a mapping function to produce keys, must be non-null

### toMap

public static <T,K,U> Collector<T,?,Map<K,U>> toMap(Function<? super T, ? extends K> keyMapper, Function<? super T, ? extends U> valueMapper, BinaryOperator<U> mergeFunction)
Returns a `Collector` that accumulates elements into a `Map` whose keys and values are the result of applying the provided mapping functions to the input elements.

If the mapped keys contain duplicates (according to `Object.equals(Object)`), the value mapping function is applied to each equal element, and the results are merged using the provided merging function.

There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of the `Map` returned.

API Note:
  There are multiple ways to deal with collisions between multiple elements mapping to the same key. The other forms of `toMap` simply use a merge function that throws unconditionally, but you can easily write more flexible merge policies. For example, if you have a stream of `Person`, and you want to produce a "phone book" mapping name to address, but it is possible that two persons have the same name, you can do as follows to gracefully deal with these collisions, and produce a `Map` mapping names to a concatenated list of addresses:

      Map<String, String> phoneBook
        = people.stream().collect(
          toMap(Person::getName,
                Person::getAddress,
                (s, a) -> s + ", " + a));

Implementation Note:
  The returned `Collector` is not concurrent. For parallel stream pipelines, the `combiner` function operates by merging the keys from one map into another, which can be an expensive operation. If it is not required that results are merged into the `Map` in encounter order, using `toConcurrentMap(Function, Function, BinaryOperator)` may offer better parallel performance.

  `mergeFunction` - a merge function, used to resolve collisions between values associated with the same key, as supplied to `Map.merge(Object, Object, BiFunction)`
Returns:
  a `Collector` which collects elements into a `Map` whose keys are the result of applying a key mapping function to the input elements, and whose values are the result of applying a value mapping function to all input elements equal to the key and combining them using the merge function
See Also:

  `K` - the output type of the key mapping function
  `U` - the output type of the value mapping function
  `M` - the type of the resulting `ConcurrentMap`
Parameters:
  `keyMapper` - a mapping function to produce keys
  `valueMapper` - a mapping function to produce values
  `mergeFunction` - a merge function, used to resolve collisions between values associated with the same key, as supplied to `Map.merge(Object, Object, BiFunction)`
  `mapFactory` - a supplier providing a new empty `ConcurrentMap` into which the results will be inserted
Returns:
  a concurrent, unordered `Collector` which collects elements into a `ConcurrentMap` whose keys are the result of applying a key mapping function to the input elements, and whose values are the result of applying a value mapping function to all input elements equal to the key and combining them using the merge function

### summarizingInt

public static <T> Collector<T, ?, IntSummaryStatistics> summarizingInt(ToIntFunction<? super T> mapper)
Returns a `Collector` which applies an `int`-producing mapping function to each input element, and returns summary statistics for the resulting values.

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
Parameters:
  `mapper` - a mapping function to apply to each element
Returns:
  a `Collector` implementing the summary-statistics reduction

  - `summarizingDouble(ToDoubleFunction)`
  - `summarizingLong(ToLongFunction)`

### summarizingLong

public static <T> Collector<T, ?, LongSummaryStatistics> summarizingLong(ToLongFunction<? super T> mapper)
Returns a `Collector` which applies an `long`-producing mapping function to each input element, and returns summary statistics for the resulting values.

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
Parameters:
  `mapper` - the mapping function to apply to each element
Returns:
  a `Collector` implementing the summary-statistics reduction
See Also:
  - `summarizingDouble(ToDoubleFunction)`
  - `summarizingInt(ToIntFunction)`

### summarizingDouble

public static <T> Collector<T, ?, DoubleSummaryStatistics> summarizingDouble(ToDoubleFunction<? super T> mapper)
Returns a `Collector` which applies an `double`-producing mapping function to each input element, and returns summary statistics for the resulting values.

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
Parameters:
  `mapper` - a mapping function to apply to each element
Returns:
  a `Collector` implementing the summary-statistics reduction
See Also:
  - `summarizingLong(ToLongFunction)`
  - `summarizingInt(ToIntFunction)`

### teeing

public static <T,R1,R2,R> Collector<T,?,R> teeing(Collector<? super T, ?, R1> downstream1, Collector<? super T, ?, R2> downstream2, BiFunction<? super R1, ? super R2, R> merger)
Returns a `Collector` that is a composite of two downstream collectors. Every element passed to the resulting collector is processed by both downstream collectors, then their results are merged using the specified merge function into the final result.

The resulting collector functions do the following:

- supplier: creates a result container that contains result containers obtained by calling each collector's supplier
- accumulator: calls each collector's accumulator with its result container and the input element
- combiner: calls each collector's combiner with two result containers
- finisher: calls each collector's finisher with its result container, then calls the supplied merger and returns its result.

The resulting collector is `Collector.Characteristics.UNORDERED` if both downstream collectors are unordered and `Collector.Characteristics.CONCURRENT` if both downstream collectors are concurrent.

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input elements
  `R1` - the result type of the first collector
  `R2` - the result type of the second collector
  `R` - the final result type
Parameters:
  `downstream1` - the first downstream collector
  `downstream2` - the second downstream collector
  `merger` - the function which merges two results into the single one
Returns:
  a `Collector` which aggregates the results of two supplied collectors.
