Java 8 - ArrayList removeIf

Java 8 added a new operation to the ArrayList class that will remove all elements from the list that match the given predicate supplied.

In the following example, we will create an ArrayList<String> containing the names of both foreign and American car makes. Then we will remove the "Honda" and "Toyota" makes from the list by using removeIf with a filter predicate, leaving only American made cars in the list.

        ArrayList<String> americanCars = new ArrayList<String>();

        americanCars.add("Toyota");

        americanCars.add("Ford");

        americanCars.add("Honda");

        americanCars.add("Chevrolet");

        americanCars.removeIf(car -> (car.equalsIgnoreCase("TOYOTA") || car.equalsIgnoreCase("HONDA")));

        americanCars.iterator().forEachRemaining((car) -> System.out.println(car));

    }

}
