Not the sum, but the average!

[Piet Souris]

In this topic (ArrayList-Table-Sum) two methods were given to determine the sum per state.
But to judge what state performed best, it is more honest to determine the average time per state. Can you do that a) by modifying Campbells method and b) by using another method than map.merge? (It should still be a one-liner).

You mean like this?

Map<String, Double> averageTimeByState = players.stream()
         .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Player::getState,
                 Collectors.averagingInt(Player::getTime)));

(I have never been sure how to indent these properly)

hi JJ,

yes, that is it. My style is like yours, only I use static imports as much as I can to reduce typing and to make the code a bit shorter. So I would write:

var averageTimeByState = players.stream()
    .collect(groupingBy(Player::getState,
                        averagingInt(Player::getTime)
                       )
            )
;

Have you thought about part b?
