import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.*;

public class AnyMatchMethodExample {
 public static void main(String args[]){
    //Declaring List
    List<Integer> intList = new ArrayList< Integer >();
    intList.add( 6 );
    intList.add( 11 );
    intList.add( 14 );
    intList.add( 7 );
    intList.add( 3 );
    intList.add( 2 );
    intList.add( 16 );
    intList.add( 15 );
    intList.add( 19 );

    //calling anymatch method
    boolean result = intList.stream().anyMatch( n -> n==14 );
