I am trying to change some for-each loops to lambda forEach()
-methods to discover the possibilities of lambda expressions. The following seems to be possible:
ArrayList<Player> playersOfTeam = new ArrayList<Player>();
for (Player player : players) {
if (player.getTeam().equals(teamName)) {
playersOfTeam.add(player);
}
}
With lambda forEach()
players.forEach(player->{if (player.getTeam().equals(teamName)) {playersOfTeam.add(player);}});
But the next one doesn't work:
for (Player player : players) {
if (player.getName().contains(name)) {
return player;
}
}
with lambda
players.forEach(player->{if (player.getName().contains(name)) {return player;}});
Is there something wrong in the syntax of the last line or is it impossible to return from forEach()
method?
