I want to sum a list of Integers. It works as follows, but the syntax does not feel right. Could the code be optimized?
Map<String, Integer> integers; integers.values().stream().mapToInt(i -> i).sum();

This will work, but the i -> i
is doing some automatic unboxing which is why it “feels” strange. mapToInt
converts the stream to an IntStream
“of primitive int-valued elements”. Either of the following will work and better explain what the compiler is doing under the hood with your original syntax:
integers.values().stream().mapToInt(i -> i.intValue()).sum(); integers.values().stream().mapToInt(Integer::intValue).sum();
