Iterations
Streams allow us to write collections code at a higher level of abstraction.

Lazy
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 ...
