Stream generate() method in Java with examples

Stream generate(Supplier<T> s) returns an infinite sequential unordered stream where each element is generated by the provided Supplier. This is suitable for generating constant streams, streams of random elements, etc.

Syntax :

static <T> Stream<T> generate(Supplier<T> s)

Where, Stream is an interface and T
is the type of stream elements.
s is the Supplier of generated 
elements and the return value is
a new infinite sequential
unordered Stream.

Example 1 : To generate stream of random integer.
