Syntax


IntStream mapToInt(ToIntFunction<? super T> mapper)

Parameters

  • ToIntFunction<? super T> mapper: This is the mapper function that needs to be applied.

Return value

This method returns a new stream.

Code

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.function.ToIntFunction;
public class Main{
public static void main(String[] args) {
// define the list of integers
List<Integer> integerList = Arrays.asList(10, 24, 54, 8,232);
// Define the implementation of ToIntFunction interface
ToIntFunction<Integer> multiplyByTwo = e -> e * 2;
// apply the multiplyByTwo using mapToInt function and print each value
integerList.stream().mapToInt(multiplyByTwo).forEach(System.out::println);
}
}
