Another example sent to me by a fellow French guy,
final Deque<String> nestedDequeue = new ArrayDeque<>();
nestedDequeue.addFirst("C");
nestedDequeue.addFirst("B");
nestedDequeue.addFirst("A");
final List<String> nestedList = new ArrayList<>();
nestedList.add("D");
nestedList.add("E");
nestedList.add("F");
final List<Collection<String>> list = Stream.of(nestedDequeue,
nestedList).toList();
This one is cool because no 'var' is involved and using
collect(Collectors.toList()) instead of toList() solves the inference problem.
