Initialization of an ArrayList in one line

Question

I wanted to create a list of options for testing purposes. At first, I did this:

ArrayList places = new ArrayList();
places.add(\         


        

Answer 1

interestingly no one-liner with the other overloaded Stream::collect method is listed

ArrayList places = Stream.of( "Buenos Aires", "Córdoba", "La Plata" ).collect( ArrayList::new, ArrayList::add, ArrayList::addAll );
