Iterations

 
/**
 * Streams allow us to write collections code ...
 * at a higher level of abstraction. 
 * 
 * Iterator - external iteration
 * Stream - internal interation

Lazy

 
/**
 * The stream library was design to iterate only once 
 * (lazy evaluation)
 * 
 * Methods that generate a final value out of the Stream sequence ...
 * are called "eager"
 * 
 * Code without an eager method doesn't print anything ...
 * due to lazy evaluation
