What Are Lambda Expressions?
◦ Introduced in Java 8.
◦ A lambda expression is a short block of code which
takes in parameters and returns a value.
◦ Used primarily to define inline implementation of a
functional interface.
◦ Syntax:
◦ (parameters) -> expression
Why Use Lambda Expressions?
Makes code more concise and
readable.
Reduces boilerplate for anonymous
inner classes.
Ideal for use with collections and
functional programming.
General Syntax:
◦(parameter1, parameter2, ...) -> { body }
◦Block Lambda Expressions
◦Use curly braces {} when multiple
statements are needed.
◦Must explicitly use return for return values.
◦ Functional Interfaces
◦ Lambda expressions work with functional interfaces (only one abstract method).
◦
◦ Examples of functional interfaces:
◦ Runnable
◦ Callable<T>
◦ Comparator<T>
◦ Predicate<T>
◦Summary
◦Lambdas are concise, readable, and powerful.
◦Great for use with collections and threading.
◦Enable functional-style programming in Java.
◦Key features: simplified syntax, block support,
and functional interfaces.
◦ THANK YOU!
