The business logic is the same :
Given a String expression composed of visits / time like : “1/24h,1..3/3h,5/*”
Then the result should be the following list of Strings:
“1/24h”,
“1/3h”,”2/3h”,”3/3h”,
“5/1h”,”5/2h”,”5/3h”,”5/4h”,”5/5h”,until ,”24/1h”
So, 2 things need to be solved, the dots and the stars for the visits and for the time.
I will use Java 8 , but I’ll show you the difference between implementing this logic using Functional and implementing it in a traditional way with loops and ifs.

}

return result;
}
}As you can see we have 2 public and 2 private methods, functional and traditional.
Here is a simple test focusing on the performance of the two styles :

Functional is 2 times faster than Traditional. Why?
Because of this : parallelStream()
Parallel Stream will split the job in several tasks leveraging your multicore system.
So can you put parallelStream() everywhere and replace all the stream() methods with parallelStream() ??
No!
The parallelStream()can in fact cause a big degradation of performance if used in the wrong place.
There are loads of posts out there on this argument that should be read before using this feature, but just remember, if you want to use parallelStream() make sure to measure the performance before and after!!!!!!!!!!
