Java Lambda Expressions

Lambda expressions were introduced in Java 8 and have since become a fundamental part of the language, especially in functional programming and stream operations.

  • A lambda expression can be understood as a short block of code that takes in parameters and returns a value.
  • Lambda expressions are similar to methods, but they do not need a name, and they can be implemented right in the body of a method.
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("a", "b", "c");
list.forEach(element -> System.out.println(element));

*** 👉 lambda expressions not only reduce the verbosity of the code but also enhance its readability, making it easier to understand and maintain.***
