How do I map a Comparator to a Comparator using a Function?
I have a comparator of type Comparator<Integer> and a function Function<Pair<Integer,?>,Integer> expressed as Pair::left (that returns an Integer). I need to obtain a comparator of type Comparator<Pair<Integer,?>>. If I wanted to simply map a function Function<T,U> to a res…
Why does Java type inference fail to distinguish between Function and Consumer?
Given the following identity functions: I observe the following behaviour in JDK 11 and JDK 17: Why can’t the compiler resolve these symbols by using the return type of the expression?

Reference antecedent Java stream step without breaking the stream pipeline?
I am new to functional programming, and I am trying to get better. Currently, I am experimenting with some code that takes on the following basic form: First a hashmap is used to get the frequency of each number in the list. Next, we sum up the amount of keys which have their values that also exist as keys in
How to reduce a limited stream (e.g. an ArrayList) from right in Java?
I would like to convert a list to a self-implemented linked list using reduce. I managed to do that in a reverse order: Output is I think to obtain result in the correct order, I may have to use something like foldRight or reduceRight in other languages.
