17.6.2 Filtering Employees with Salaries in a Specified Range
Figure 17.11 demonstrates filtering Employees with an object that implements the functional interface Predicate<Employee>, which is defined with a lambda in lines 34–35. Defining lambdas in this manner enables you to reuse them multiple times, as we do in lines 42 and 49. Lines 41–44 output the Employees with salaries in the range 4000–6000 sorted by salary as follows:
• Line 41 creates a Stream<Employee> from the List<Employee>.
• Line 42 filters the stream using the Predicate named fourToSixThousand.
