Can you split a stream into two streams?

Question

I have a data set represented by a Java 8 stream:

Stream stream = ...;

I can see how to filter it to get a random subset - for exa

Answer 1

Not exactly. You can't get two Streams out of one; this doesn't make sense -- how would you iterate over one without needing to generate the other at the same time? A stream can only be operated over once.

However, if you want to dump them into a list or something, you could do

stream.forEach((x) -> ((x == 0) ? heads : tails).add(x));
