In Java, elements in the stream are subdivided into subsets (can be subdivided into further) which are processed in parallel using different cores of the CPU. Therefore, only stateless, non-interfering and associative subsets are eligible to run parallel. These subsets are combined for the short-circuit/terminal process for the final result. The sequential(default) or parallel mode depends on the last used method in the pipeline. Fig.1: Stream Streams API Short-Circuit terminal operations Stream Aggregation Collectors Streams API In the blog post Use of default and static methods , I have introduce how to write a factorial lambda functions using UnaryOperator . You can use the java.util.stream.IntStream.reduce function to calculate the factorial value in the stream as follows. var r =IntStream.range(1, 10).reduce(1,(a,b) -> a*b); Streams handling interfaces: use Java generics. BaseStream - defines core stream behaviours, such as managing the stre
