Java 8 Notes

1. Lambda Expressions:

Lambda expressions introduce a clear and concise way to represent one method interface using an

expression. They are similar to closures.

Example:

List<String> names = Arrays.asList("John", "Jane", "Tom");

names.forEach(n -> System.out.println(n));

2. Functional Interfaces:

Functional interfaces have a single abstract method and are annotated with @FunctionalInterface.

Examples:

Predicate<T>, Function<T, R>, Consumer<T>, Supplier<T>

3. Streams API:

Provides a new abstraction to process sequences of data. Supports functional-style operations on

streams of elements, such as map, filter, and reduce.

Example:

names.stream().filter(n -> n.startsWith("J")).sorted().forEach(System.out::println);

4. Method References:

A shorthand notation of a lambda expression to call a method. Syntax is ClassName::methodName.

Example: names.forEach(System.out::println);

5. Default and Static Methods in Interfaces:


Interfaces can have default methods (with implementation) and static methods.

Example:

default void start() { System.out.println("Vehicle started"); }

6. Optional Class:

Used to avoid null checks and NullPointerExceptions.

Example:

Optional<String> name = Optional.ofNullable(null); name.orElse("Default Name");

7. New Date and Time API:

The java.time package provides classes such as LocalDate, LocalTime, LocalDateTime, and

ZonedDateTime to handle date and time.

Example: LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();

8. Streams Collectors:

Collectors are used to combine the elements of a stream into a collection.

Example: names.stream().filter(n -> n.startsWith("J")).collect(Collectors.toList());

9. Parallel Streams:

Streams can be processed in parallel to improve performance.

Example: names.parallelStream().forEach(System.out::println);

10. Type Annotations:

Annotations can be applied to any type.

Example: public class MyClass<@NonNull T> { }


11. Nashorn JavaScript Engine:

Java 8 provides a lightweight JavaScript engine for executing JS on the JVM.

Example: engine.eval("print('Hello from JavaScript')");

12. CompletableFuture:

A new class for asynchronous programming in Java 8.

Example: CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> "Hello").thenApply(str -> str + "

World").thenAccept(System.out::println);
