How to find minimum of BigDecimal field in collection with java streams?

Question

I want to use java streams to iterate a list and find the BigDecimal minimum price. The following illustrates, but does not work (because min() cannot accept BigDecimal.

class Product {
    public BigDecimal price;
}

List<Product> products;
products.stream().min((Product) p -> p.price);

Answer 1

Since BigDecimal already is Comparable, it is as simple as :

 BigDecimal min = products
        .stream()
        .map(Product::getPrice)
        .min(Comparator.naturalOrder())
        .orElse(BigDecimal.ZERO);
