forEach() vs forEachOrdered() in java 8 stream

forEach() method performs an action for each element of this stream. For parallel stream, this operation does not guarantee to maintain order of the stream.

forEachOrdered() method performs an action for each element of this stream, guaranteeing that each element is processed in encounter order for streams that have a defined encounter order.

take below example:

    String str = "sushil mittal";
    System.out.println("****forEach without using parallel****");
    str.chars().forEach(s -> System.out.print((char) s));
    System.out.println("\n****forEach with using parallel****");

    str.chars().parallel().forEach(s -> System.out.print((char) s));
    System.out.println("\n****forEachOrdered with using parallel****");

    str.chars().parallel().forEachOrdered(s -> System.out.print((char) s));

Output:

****forEach without using parallel****

sushil mittal

****forEach with using parallel****

mihul issltat

****forEachOrdered with using parallel****

sushil mittal
