Sum values from specific field of the objects in a list


Suppose to have a class Obj:

class Obj {
  int field;
}

...and that you have a list of Obj instances, i.e. List<Obj> lst.

Now, how can I find with streams the sum of the values of the int fields field from the objects in list lst under a filtering criterion (e.g. for an object o, the criterion is o.field > 10)?


Solution

  • You can do

    int sum = lst.stream().filter(o -> o.getField() > 10).mapToInt(o -> o.getField()).sum();
    

    or (using Method reference)

    int sum = lst.stream().filter(o -> o.getField() > 10).mapToInt(Obj::getField).sum();
