Java 8: Find index of minimum value from a List

Question

Say I have a list with elements (34, 11, 98, 56, 43).

Using Java 8 streams, how do I find the index of the minimum element of the list (e.g. 1 in this case)

Answer 1

import static java.util.Comparator.comparingInt;

int minIndex = IntStream.range(0,list.size()).boxed()
            .min(comparingInt(list::get))
            .get();  // or throw if empty list

As @TagirValeev mentions in his answer, you can avoid boxing by using IntStream#reduce instead of Stream#min, but at the cost of obscuring the intent:

int minIdx = IntStream.range(0,list.size())
            .reduce((i,j) -> list.get(i) > list.get(j) ? j : i)
            .getAsInt();  // or throw
