Java lambda expression

Java is a language multiple platform that used by the most developers.
After java 8 oracle add a lot of features to java like lambda

All know anonymous class that we can implement method of class in time executing time

Lambda is just anonymous class that implement a one method of interface

Lambda syntax

// first
l = ()->{ statements };
// second
l = (arg,arg2,arg3,...args)->{ statements };
// third
l = (n)->n; is like (n)->{ return n;};

*** Lambda rules ***

• lambda implement just a one interface and interface most have a one method
• lambda can take 0,* args
• lambda can be implement anywhere
• lambda can be return by any method
• lambda can not be returning by itself
• lambda can be passed as args

** Let begin with simple example **

 interface  says {
     public void show();
 }

public class Lambda  {


    public static void main(String[] args) {

            says  msg = ()->{ System.out.println("hello world");};
            msg.show(); // hello world

    }



}

Lambda example with args

 interface  says {
     public void show(String name);
 }

public class Lambda  {


    public static void main(String[] args) {

           says msg = (name)->{ System.out.println("hello world "+ name );};
            msg.show("jamal"); // hello world jamal

    }



}

** Lambda with return by another method **

 interface  says {
     public void show(String name);
 }

public class Lambda  {

    public static says m(String msg){


        return (name)->{ System.out.println(msg+" "+name);};
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {

         m("hello world").show("jamal");

         m("hello world").show("mohammed");

    }



}

** passing Lambda as arg of a method **

 interface  says {
     public void show(String name);
 }

public class Lambda  {

    public static void m(says l,String name){

        l.show(name);


    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {

         m((name)->{

                System.out.println(name);

         },"hello");

         m((name)->{

             for (int i=0;i<name.length();i++) {

                 System.out.println(name.charAt(i));

             }
         },"hello world");
    }



}

the last example is most used in practice

Java had do a effort to integrate lambda but it's just anonymous class ,
while JavaScript has arrow function that very easy to use
