1Z0-830 Java 21 Lambdas, Streams and Collectors Guide

This is the heaviest chapter for a reason. Streams combine type inference, immutability, collector contracts, ordering, and lazy evaluation into one lane. Many candidates know the APIs but still lose points by guessing at pipeline behavior.

• identify the pipeline source, intermediate stages, and terminal stage separately
• treat collector result shape as part of the answer, not an afterthought
• use parallel streams only when ordering and shared-state assumptions still hold
