Java 8 for Experienced Developers: Lambdas, Stream API & Beyond

The filtering operations filters the given stream and returns a new stream, which contains only those elements that are required for the next operation.

# `filter() method`

The `Stream` interface has a `filter()` method to filter a stream. This is an intermediate operation. Below is the method definition of `filter()` method.

> **Stream<T> filter(Predicate<? super T> predicate)**

**Parameter ->** A predicate to apply to each element to determine if it should be included.

**Return Type ->** It returns a stream consisting of the elements of this stream that match the given predicate.
