Parallel Streams in Java can be a game changer, especially when you're dealing with large datasets or computationally intensive tasks. Imagine you have a massive list of transactions, and you want to calculate the total amount spent by each customer.
Doing this sequentially might take a while, but by leveraging parallel streams, you can speed up the process significantly.
In this chapter, we'll delve into the world of Parallel Streams, exploring how to harness the power of multi-core processors to improve performance.
We’ll cover what parallel streams are, how to use them effectively, the nuances to be aware of, and some practical examples to solidify your understanding.
