Let's say, I have an object Person with fields of type FirstName and LastName. Now I also have a List<Person> and I like to use streams.



Now I want to generate a Map<FirstName, List<LastName>> in order to group people with the same first name. How do I go about this without writing much code? My approach so far is



personList
.stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(
 Person::getFirstName,
 person -> person.getLastName() // this seems to be wrong
));


but it seems this is the wrong way to assign the value of the map. What should I change? Or should I perhaps use .reduce with new HashMap<FirstName, List<LastName>>() as initial value and then aggregate to it by putting elements inside?

           Collectors.mapping(Person::getLastName, Collectors.toList())));


          You are looking for a downstream collector with groupingBy

              I think you are looking for something like this:



              Map<String, Map<String, List>> map = personList.stream()
               .collect(groupingBy(Person::getFirstName, groupingBy(Person::getLastName)));


              The double grouping gives you a map of a map. That's the trick.

                Thank you, but the value was supposed to be a simple list, not another map.

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates.
