    The document discusses new features introduced in Java 8 including functional interfaces, lambda expressions, Optional class, Stream API, Spliterator, method references, and the new Date and Time API. Lambda expressions allow implementing functional interfaces using anonymous functions. The Optional class avoids null pointer exceptions. The Stream API provides functional-style programming to process data. Spliterator is used for iterating over streams in parallel or sequentially. Method references use double colon syntax. The new Date and Time API addresses drawbacks of the old API by introducing thread-safe classes under java.time for simplified local date handling and specialized zoned date handling.

    JAVA-8

    1. java 8 new features?


    1. Functional Interface:
    Each functional interface has a single
    abstract method, called the functional method,
    implementation can be provided using the
    lambda expressions.
    2. Lambda Expressions:
    It is a feature derived from functional
    programming.
    It is a function that does not belong to
    any class.
    3. Optional:
    Instead of using null values Optional class is used for
    representing Optional values.
    4. Stream API
    5. Spliterator
    6. Method References
    7. New Date and Time API.

    2. Stream API?
    Stream API is the new feature of Java 8. It is used to process or
    compute the data.
    It provides Functional-Style programming.

    3 What is Lambda Expression?


    Lambda expressions are the method without name i.e Anonymous method.
    In other words, Lambda expression is a function that can be passed
    around and referenced as an object.
    A lambda expression consists of three parts :
    a. Parameter List
    b. Lambda symbol ->
    c. Expression
    (Parameter List) ->{expression;}

    5 What is the Optional class in java?


    Java SE 8 introduces a new class in the util package i.e
    java.util.Optional.
    It is used to avoid NullPointerException.

    6. Spliterator?
    Spliterator is introduced in JDK 1.8
    Spliterator is used for Stream API
    Spliterator can be used for iterating the Stream elements in
    parallel or sequential order.

    7. method reference in java 8?


    Method reference is represented by using the double colon operator
    "::".
    syntax of method reference :
    Object :: nameOfTheMethod
    According to Oracle docs, Method references are
    compact, easy-to-read lambda expressions for methods
    that already have a name.

    8.New Date and Time API?


    *drawbacks of old date-time API.
    Not thread safe − java.util.Date (package)
    Poor design
    Difficult time zone handling
    to overcome those drawbacks
    *java 8 introduces a new date-time API under the java.time(package).
    Local − Simplified date-time API with no complexity of timezone
    handling.
    Zoned − Specialized date-time API to deal with various
    timezones.
