Java 8 Features: Default Keyword Overview

The document discusses new features introduced in Java 8 including default methods in interfaces, functional interfaces, lambda expressions, and the Optional class. It provides code examples for each feature: default methods allow interfaces to include default implementations; functional interfaces can have one abstract method and any number of default methods and must be annotated with @FunctionalInterface; lambda expressions provide a concise way to write anonymous functions for functional interfaces; and the Optional class handles potential null values and allows checking if a value is present without throwing NullPointerExceptions.

There are many new features added in java 8.

-----------------------------------------------------
[Link] keyword: default keyword was introduced in java 8. using default keyword
we can create complete methods in an interface.
--
package [Link];

public interface Sammy {


public void m2();
default void m1() {
[Link]("Hii This is default method");
}
default void m3() {
[Link]("Hii this is second default method");
}

}
---
package [Link];

public class Abc implements Sammy {

@Override
public void m2() {
[Link]("Hii This is abstarct method");
}

}
------
package [Link];

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Abc a = new Abc();
a.m1();
a.m2();
a.m3();
}

}
------------------------------------------------
[Link] interface:functional interface was introduced in java [Link]
interface can cosists of exactly one incomplete method but it can have any number
of complete method in it.
---functional interface always annotated with @FunctionalInterface annotation.
----ex:

package [Link];
@FunctionalInterface
public interface Sammy {
public void m2();
public void m3();//this line gives error because it contains only one incomplete
method

default void m1() {


[Link]("Hii This is default method");
}
default void m3() {
[Link]("Hii this is second default method");
}

}
---
package [Link];

public class Abc implements Sammy {

@Override
public void m2() {
[Link]("Hii This is abstarct method");
}

}
------
package [Link];

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Abc a = new Abc();
a.m1();
a.m2();
a.m3();
}

}
--------------------------------------------------------
[Link] expression: lambda expression was introduce in java 8.
using lambda expression we can reduce the number of lines of java code.
lambda expression can be applied only on functional interface.
--------
imp)-- lambda expression is an anonymous function,
which has no name,no modifiers,no return type.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

package [Link];
@FunctionalInterface
public interface Abc {
public void test(int x);
default void m1() {
[Link]("Default");
}
}
--------------
package [Link];

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Abc a=(x)->
{
[Link]("HII");
};
[Link](12);
a.m1();
}

}
-----------------------------------
ex 2:
package [Link];
@FunctionalInterface
public interface Abc {
public int test(int a,int b);
default void m1() {
[Link]("Default");
}
}
-------
package [Link];

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Abc a1=(a,b)->
a+b;

[Link]([Link](12,23));
a1.m1();
}

}
------------------------------------------
4. Optional class: optional class was introduce in java 8.
optional class is used to handle the NullPointerException.
optional class is used to find the value is present or not .

---isPresent():--ispresent() method return true if value is present in object


othrewise it will return false.
---get():-get() method return the value the if value is present in object otherwise
it will throw NoSuchElementException.
----ex:

package [Link];

import [Link];

public class optionalExample {


public static void main(String[] args) {
String str=null;
Optional<String> opt=[Link](str);
[Link]([Link]());

[Link]([Link]("No value present in object"));


[Link]([Link]());
}
}
--------------------------------------
