Java 8 Streams: IntStream to String [duplicate]

Answer 1

I am pretty sure there must be many ways to do it, but another way is by using a StringWriter:

IntStream in = "It was the best of times".chars();
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
in.forEach(sw::write); 
System.out.println(sw.toString());

This all could also be expressed in a collector as:

IntStream in = "It was the best of times".chars();
String text = in.collect(
    StringWriter::new, 
    StringWriter::write, 
    (swl, swr) -> swl.write(swr.toString())).toString();
System.out.println(text);
