Is there a concise way to iterate over a stream with indices in Java 8?

Question

Is there a concise way to iterate over a stream whilst having access to the index in the stream?

String[] names = {\"Sam\",\"Pamela\", \"Dave\", \"Pascal\",          


        

Answer 1

With a List you can try

List strings = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth", "Fifth")); // An example list of Strings
strings.stream() // Turn the list into a Stream
    .collect(HashMap::new, (h, o) -> h.put(h.size(), o), (h, o) -> {}) // Create a map of the index to the object
        .forEach((i, o) -> { // Now we can use a BiConsumer forEach!
            System.out.println(String.format("%d => %s", i, o));
        });

Output:

0 => First
1 => Second
2 => Third
3 => Fourth
4 => Fifth
