Java - Get the minimum and maximum values of a stream

Introduction

To get the minimum and maximum values of a stream, use the min() and max() methods of the specific stream.

These methods in the Stream<T> interface take a Comparator as argument and return an Optional<T>.

These methods do not take any arguments in IntStream, LongStream, and DoubleStream interfaces and return OptionalInt, OptionalLong, and OptionalDouble, respectively.

The following code prints the details of the highest earner in a list of people:

Optional<Person> person = Person.persons()
                                .stream()
                                .max(Comparator.comparingDouble(Person::getIncome));
