Java 8 Features - Proof of Concept (POC)

Introduction
Java 8 is one of the most important versions of Java. It introduced many new features that make
coding easier, cleaner, and more efficient. The main goal of Java 8 is to support functional
programming and reduce the amount of code developers need to write.

Features Covered

1. Lambda Expressions
Lambda Expressions provide a shorter way to write anonymous functions.

Example:

List<String> names = [Link]("Ram", "John", "David");


[Link](name -> [Link](name));

Benefit:
- Less code
- Better readability
- Easy to pass behavior as a parameter

2. Functional Interface
A Functional Interface contains only one abstract method.

Example:

@FunctionalInterface
interface Greeting{
void sayHello();
}

3. Method Reference
Method References are a shorter form of Lambda Expressions.

Example:

[Link]([Link]::println);

4. Stream API
Stream API is used to process collections of data in a simple and efficient way.

Example:
List<Integer> numbers = [Link](2,4,6,8);

[Link]()
.filter(n -> n>4)
.forEach([Link]::println);

5. Optional Class
Optional helps avoid NullPointerException.

Example:

Optional<String> name = [Link]("Rajeshwari");


[Link]([Link]());

6. Default Methods
Interfaces can contain default methods with implementation.

Example:

interface Vehicle{
default void start(){
[Link]("Vehicle Started");
}
}

7. Static Methods in Interface


Interfaces can also contain static methods.

Example:

interface Demo{
static void display(){
[Link]("Java 8");
}
}

8. Date and Time API


Java 8 introduced a new Date and Time API.

Example:

LocalDate today = [Link]();


[Link](today);

9. forEach() Method
Used to iterate over collections.

Example:
[Link]([Link]::println);

10. Collectors
Collectors are used to collect Stream results into a List, Set, or Map.

Example:

List<String> result = [Link]()


.filter(name -> [Link]("R"))
.collect([Link]());

11. Built-in Functional Interfaces


Java 8 provides predefined functional interfaces.

Predicate → Checks a condition


Function → Takes input and returns output
Consumer → Accepts input without returning anything
Supplier → Supplies data without taking input

Example:

Predicate<Integer> check = n -> n > 18;


[Link]([Link](20));
