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

As jean-baptiste-yunès said, if your stream is based on a java List then using an AtomicInteger and its incrementAndGet method is a very good solution to the problem and the returned integer does correspond to the index in the original List as long as you do not use a parallel stream.
