# Use Stream::filter
# Description
This rule transforms an if-Statement (without an else statement), which wraps the whole execution block of a Stream::forEach method into a call to Stream::filter with a lambda expression (Predicate) as parameter. This lambda is constructed using the expression from the if-Statement.
# Benefits
This rule provides an easier-to read alternative to filter items in a list.

Pre
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("foo", "bar");
list.stream().forEach(s -> {
if (s.length() > 3) {
System.out.println(s);
System.out.println(s + s);
}
});
Post
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("foo", "bar");
list.stream().filter((s)-> s.length() > 3).forEach((s)-> {
System.out.println(s);
System.out.println(s + s);
