My case is:
class Person {
String id ;
String name;
String age;
}
List<Person> list1 = {p1,p2, p3};
List<Person> list2 = {p4,p5, p6};
I want to know if there is person in list1 that has the same name and age in list2 but don't mind about id.
What is best and fast way?
Define yourself a key object that holds and compares the desired properties. In this simple case, you may use a small list whereas each index corresponds to one property. For more complex cases, you may use a Map (using property names as keys) or a dedicated class:
Function<Person,List<Object>> toKey=p -> Arrays.asList(p.getName(), p.getAge());
Having such a mapping function. you may use the simple solution:
list1.stream().map(toKey)
.flatMap(key -> list2.stream().map(toKey).filter(key::equals))
.forEach(key -> System.out.println("{name="+key.get(0)+", age="+key.get(1)+"}"));
which may lead to poor performance when you have rather large lists. When you have large lists (or can’t predict their sizes), you should use an intermediate Set to accelerate the lookup (changing the task’s time complexity from O(n²) to O(n)):
list2.stream().map(toKey)
.filter(list1.stream().map(toKey).collect(Collectors.toSet())::contains)
.forEach(key -> System.out.println("{name="+key.get(0)+", age="+key.get(1)+"}"));
In the examples above, each match gets printed. If you are only interested in whether such a match exists, you may use either:
boolean exists=list1.stream().map(toKey)
.anyMatch(key -> list2.stream().map(toKey).anyMatch(key::equals));
or
boolean exists=list2.stream().map(toKey)
.anyMatch(list1.stream().map(toKey).collect(Collectors.toSet())::contains);
A simple way to do that is to override equals and hashCode. Since I assume the equality between Person must also consider the id field, you can wrap this instance into a PersonWrapper which will implement the correct equals and hashCode (i.e. only check the name and age fields):
class PersonWrapper {
private Person person;
private PersonWrapper(Person person) {
this.person = person;
}
public static PersonWrapper wrap(Person person) {
return new PersonWrapper(person);
}
public Person unwrap() {
return person;
}
@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (this == obj) {
return true;
}
if (obj == null || getClass() != obj.getClass()) {
return false;
}
PersonWrapper other = (PersonWrapper) obj;
return person.name.equals(other.person.name) && person.age.equals(other.person.age);
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
final int prime = 31;
int result = 1;
result = prime * result + person.name.hashCode();
result = prime * result + person.age.hashCode();
return result;
}
}
With such a class, you can then have the following:
Set<PersonWrapper> set2 = list2.stream().map(PersonWrapper::wrap).collect(toSet());
boolean exists =
list1.stream()
.map(PersonWrapper::wrap)
.filter(set2::contains)
.findFirst()
.isPresent();
System.out.println(exists);
This code converts the list2 into a Set of wrapped persons. The goal of having a Set is to have a constant-time contains operation for better performance.
Then, the list1 is filtered. Every element found in set2 is kept and if there is an element left (that is to say, if findFirst() returns a non empty Optional), it means an element was found.
Brute force, but pure java 8 solution will be this:
boolean present = list1
.stream()
.flatMap(x -> list2
.stream()
.filter(y -> x.getName().equals(y.getName()))
.filter(y -> x.getAge().equals(y.getAge()))
.limit(1))
.findFirst()
.isPresent();
Here, flatmap is used to join 2 lists. limit is used as we are interested in first match only, in which case, we do not need to traverse further.
Well if you don't care about the id field, then you can use the equals method to solve this.
Here's the Person class code
public class Person {
private String id ;
private String name;
private String age;
@Override
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (this == o) return true;
if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
Person sample = (Person) o;
if (!name.equals(sample.name)) return false;
return age.equals(sample.age);
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
int result = name.hashCode();
result = 31 * result + age.hashCode();
return result;
}
}
Now, you can use stream to get the intersection like so. common will contain all Person objects where name and age are the same.
List<Person> common = list1
.stream()
.filter(list2::contains)
.collect(Collectors.toList());

This would work:
class PresentOrNot {boolean isPresent = false;};
final PresentOrNot isPresent = new PresentOrNot ();
l1.stream().forEach(p -> {
isPresent.isPresent = isPresent.isPresent || l2.stream()
.filter(p1 -> p.name.equals(p1.name) && p.age.equals(p1.age))
.findFirst()
.isPresent();
});
System.err.println(isPresent.isPresent);
Since forEach() takes Consumer, we have no way of returning and PresentOrNot {} is a workaround.
Aside: Where didi you get such a requirement :)
You need to iterate over the two lists and compare the atributtes.
for(Person person1 : list1) {
for(Person person2 : list2) {
if(person1.getName().equals(person2.getName()) &&
person1.getAge().equals(person2.getAge())) {
//your code
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
OTSQuestions ots = new OTSQuestions();
List<Attr> attrs = ots.getAttrs();
List<String> ids = new ArrayList<>();
ids.add("101");
ids.add("104");
ids.add("102");
List<Attr> finalList = attrs.stream().filter(
attr -> ids.contains(attr.getId()))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
public class Attr {
private String id;
private String name;
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
private List<Attr> getAttrs() {
List<Attr> attrs = new ArrayList<>();
Attr attr = new Attr();
attr.setId("100");
attr.setName("Yoga");
attrs.add(attr);
Attr attr1 = new Attr();
attr1.setId("101");
attr1.setName("Yoga1");
attrs.add(attr1);
Attr attr2 = new Attr();
attr2.setId("102");
attr2.setName("Yoga2");
attrs.add(attr2);
Attr attr3 = new Attr();
attr3.setId("103");
attr3.setName("Yoga3");
attrs.add(attr3);
Attr attr4 = new Attr();

return attrs;
