Method Reference

Method references are a feature of Java 8 that allow using methods without directly calling them, serving as a shortcut to lambda expressions. There are three types of method references: to static methods, to non-static methods, and to constructors, each with its own syntax. This feature also facilitates achieving multiple inheritance through interfaces.
