Statement: Let’s say you have a list of integers which you want to group into even and odd numbers.

Create a list of integers with four values 1,2,3 and 4:

List<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<>();
numbers.add(1);
numbers.add(2);
numbers.add(3);
numbers.add(4);

Now group the list into odd and even numbers:

Map<String, List<Integer>> numberGroups= 
numbers.stream().collect(Collectors.groupingBy(i -> i%2 != 0 ? "ODD" : "EVEN"));

This returns a map of (“ODD/EVEN” -> numbers).

Printing the segregated list along with its offset (ODD/EVEN):

for (String offset : numberGroups.keySet()) {
  for (Integer i : numberGroups.get(offset)) {
    System.out.println(offset +":"+i);
  }
}

Outputs:

EVEN:2
EVEN:4
ODD:1
ODD:3
