How create a new map from the values in an existing map
Having the next original map: G1=[7,8,45,6,9] G2=[3,9,34,2,1,65] G3=[6,5,9,1,67,5] Where G1, G2 and G3 are groups of people's ages, How can I create a new map like this: 45=[7,8,45,6,9] 65=[3,9,34,2,1,65] 67=[6,5,9,1,67,5] Where the new keys are the max people's age in each group. I have tried this: Map<Integer, List<Integer>> newMap = originalMap.entrySet().stream() .collect(Collectors.toMap(Collections.max(x -> x.getValue()), x -> x.getValue())); But the compiler say me: "The target type of this expression must be a functional interface" in this fragment of code: Collections.max(x -> x
