How can I count occurrences with groupBy?

by

I think you’re just looking for the overload which takes another Collector to specify what to do with each group… and then Collectors.counting() to do the counting:

import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.*;

class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();

        list.add("Hello");
        list.add("Hello");
        list.add("World");

        Map<String, Long> counted = list.stream()
            .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Function.identity(), Collectors.counting()));

        System.out.println(counted);
    }
}

Result:

{Hello=2, World=1}

(There’s also the possibility of using groupingByConcurrent for more efficiency. Something to bear in mind for your real code, if it would be safe in your context.)
