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")
);
