Interface:

java.lang.AutoCloseableAutoCloseablejava.util.stream.BaseStreamBaseStreamjava.util.stream.LongStreamLongStreamLogicBig

Method:

boolean anyMatch(LongPredicate predicate)

This is a terminal-short-circuiting operation. It checks whether any elements of this LongStream match the provided LongPredicate. It will terminate (short-circuiting) with a result of 'true' when the very first element matches the provided predicate.

If the stream is empty then false is returned and the predicate is not evaluated.

Examples


package com.logicbig.example.longstream;

import java.util.stream.LongStream;

public class AnyMatchExample {

    public static void main(String... args) {
        LongStream stream = LongStream.of(3, 6, 12);
        boolean b = stream.anyMatch(AnyMatchExample::odd);
        System.out.println(b);

        LongStream stream2 = LongStream.of(2, 7, 14);
        boolean b2 = stream2.anyMatch(AnyMatchExample::odd);
        System.out.println(b2);
    }

    private static boolean odd(long lg) {
        return lg % 3 == 0;
    }
}

Output

true
false




package com.logicbig.example.longstream;

import java.util.stream.LongStream;

public class AnyMatchExample2 {

    public static void main(String... args) {
        LongStream stream = LongStream.empty();
        boolean b = stream.anyMatch(lg -> true);
        System.out.println(b);
    }
}

Output
