How to print two lists together using Stream API java 8?

Question

I have two lists as follow

List names = Arrays.asList(\"James\",\"John\",\"Fred\");
List ages = Arrays.asList(25,35,15);
         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way is to create an IntStream to generate the indices, and then map each index to the String you want to create.

IntStream.range(0, Math.min(names.size(), ages.size()))
         .mapToObj(i -> names.get(i)+":"+ages.get(i))
         .forEach(System.out::println);
