what is a lambda expression code example
Example 1: lambda expressions
A lambda expression is a short block
of code which 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.
parameter -> expression
To use more than one parameter, wrap them in parentheses:
(parameter1, parameter2) -> expression
Example
Use a lamba expression in the ArrayList's
forEach() method to print every item in the list:
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList numbers = new ArrayList();
numbers.add(5);
numbers.add(9);
numbers.add(8);
numbers.add(1);
numbers.forEach( (n) -> { System.out.println(n); } );
}
}
Example 2: whats a lambda
x = lambda a, b, c, d, e, f: a + b + c + d + e + f
print(x(31231, 312, 312, 31, 12, 31))
Example 3: how to use lambda in java
StateOwner stateOwner = new StateOwner();
stateOwner.addStateListener(
(oldState, newState) -> System.out.println("State changed")
);
