Daily Term: Stream

Stream

A Stream is a sequence of data elements made available over time, often used in reactive programming to handle asynchronous events. For example, in Java, a Stream API can process a list of numbers (e.g., filtering even numbers), while in RxJS, a stream might represent user clicks over time. Streams enable efficient, declarative data processing, but they require careful management of backpressure and resource usage in high-volume scenarios.
