DoubleStream min() in Java with examples

java.util.stream.DoubleStream in Java 8, deals with primitive doubles. It helps to solve the problems like finding maximum value in array, finding minimum value in array, sum of all elements in array, and average of all values in array in a new way. DoubleStream min() returns an OptionalDouble describing the minimum element of this stream, or an empty optional if this stream is empty.

Syntax :

OptionalDouble() min()

Where, OptionalDouble is a container object which 
may or may not contain a double value.

Note :

1. Unlike the numerical comparison operators, this method considers negative zero to be strictly smaller than positive zero.
2. This is a special case of a reduction.

Example 1 :

// Java code for DoubleStream min()
import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.DoubleStream;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // creating a stream
        DoubleStream stream = DoubleStream.of(-9.5,
                   -18.6, 54.3, 8.5, 7.4, 14.2, 3.9);

        // OptionalDouble is a container object
        // which may or may not contain a
        // double value.
        OptionalDouble obj = stream.min();

        // If a value is present, isPresent() will
        // return true and getAsDouble() will
        // return the value
        if (obj.isPresent()) {
            System.out.println(obj.getAsDouble());
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("-1");
        }
    }
}

Output :

-18.6

Example 2 :

// Java code for DoubleStream min()
import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.DoubleStream;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // OptionalDouble is a container object
        // which may or may not contain a
        // double value.
        OptionalDouble obj = DoubleStream.empty().min();

        // If a value is present, isPresent() will
        // return true and getAsDouble() will
        // return the value
        if (obj.isPresent()) {
            System.out.println(obj.getAsDouble());
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("-1");
        }
    }
}

Output :

-1
