java stream 两个lists,使用java 8 stream在2个列表中查找元素匹配

My case is:

class Person {

String id ;

String name;

String age;

}

List list1 = {p1,p2, p3};

List list2 = {p4,p5, p6};

I want to know if there is person in list1 that has the same name and age in list2 but don't mind about id.

What is best and fast way?

Define yourself a key object that holds and compares the desired properties. In this simple case, you may use a small list whereas each index corresponds to one property. For more complex cases, you may use a Map (using property names as keys) or a dedicated class:

Function> toKey=p -> Arrays.asList(p.getName(), p.getAge());

Having such a mapping function. you may use the simple solution:

list1.stream().map(toKey)

.flatMap(key -> list2.stream().map(toKey).filter(key::equals))

.forEach(key -> System.out.println("{name="+key.get(0)+", age="+key.get(1)+"}"));

which may lead to poor performance when you have rather large lists. When you have large lists (or can’t predict their sizes), you should use an intermediate Set to accelerate the lookup (changing the task’s time complexity from O(n²) to O(n)):

list2.stream().map(toKey)

.filter(list1.stream().map(toKey).collect(Collectors.toSet())::contains)

.forEach(key -> System.out.println("{name="+key.get(0)+", age="+key.get(1)+"}"));

In the examples above, each match gets printed. If you are only interested in whether such a match exists, you may use either:

boolean exists=list1.stream().map(toKey)

.anyMatch(key -> list2.stream().map(toKey).anyMatch(key::equals));

or

boolean exists=list2.stream().map(toKey)

.anyMatch(list1.stream().map(toKey).collect(Collectors.toSet())::contains);
