Java 8 Streams - Collectors.averagingLong Examples

[Last Updated: Nov 8, 2025]

Class:

java.util.stream.Collectors

Method:


public static <T> Collector<T,?,Double> averagingLong(ToLongFunction<? super T> mapper)

Returns a Collector that produces the arithmetic mean of a long-valued function applied to the input elements. If no elements are present, the result is 0.

Examples

The method Collectors#averagingLong converts each stream elements to long per user provided mapper function and returns the arithmetic mean of those long values.

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class AveragingLongExample {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        Stream<BigDecimal> s = Stream.iterate(
                            BigDecimal.ONE, bigDecimal ->
                                                bigDecimal.add(BigDecimal.ONE))
                                     .limit(10).peek(System.out::println);

        Double d = s.collect(Collectors.averagingLong(BigDecimal::longValue));
        System.out.println("average: " + d);
    }
}
