Multiply and sum elements with Lambda expression in Java
Java Lambda Program: Exercise-12 with Solution
Write a Java program to create a lambda expression to multiply and sum all elements in a list of integers.
Sample Solution:
Java Code:
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a list of integers
List<Integer> nums = Arrays.asList(4, 2, 3, 6, 5, 1);
System.out.println("Original array elements: " + nums);
// Define the multiply and sum lambda expression
int result = nums.stream()
.reduce(1, (x, y) -> x * y)
.intValue();
// Print the result
System.out.println("\nProduct of the list elements: " + result);
// Calculate the sum of the list elements using lambda expression
int sum = nums.stream()
.reduce(0, (x, y) -> x + y)
.intValue();
// Print the sum
System.out.println("\nSum of the list elements: " + sum);
}
}
Sample Output:
Original array elements: [4, 2, 3, 6, 5, 1] Product of the list elements: 720 Sum of the list elements: 21
Explanation:
Initially the necessary classes are imported: Arrays and Lists.
In the main method, we create a list of integers named nums using the Arrays.asList() method. The list contains several integer values.
We define a lambda expression (x, y) -> x * y using the reduce() method on the stream of nums. The lambda expression takes two integers x and y as input and multiplies them using the operator.
The reduce() method applies the lambda expression to each element in the stream, performing the multiplication operation. The initial reduction value is set to 1.
We store the multiplication result in the result variable, which is an integer.
Next, we calculate the sum of all elements in the list:
We define a lambda expression (x, y) -> x + y using the reduce() method on the stream of nums. The lambda expression takes two integers x and y as input and adds them using the + operator.
The reduce() method applies the lambda expression to each element in the stream, performing the addition operation. The initial reduction value is set to 0.
We store the sum result in the sum variable, which is an integer.

How do I remove repeated elements from ArrayList?
If you don't want duplicates in a Collection, you should consider why you're using a Collection that allows duplicates. The easiest way to remove repeated elements is to add the contents to a Set (which will not allow duplicates) and then add the Set back to the ArrayList:
Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(yourList); yourList.clear(); yourList.addAll(set);
Of course, this destroys the ordering of the elements in the ArrayList.
