Lambda Hello World
I was recently checking Lambda expressions out to ensure the forthcoming JCache spec would work well with them. I just wanted a really simple example that worked through the different syntactical forms and ended up putting a Hello World type example myself.
/** * Hello world! */ public class App { static void print(Something something) { System.out.println(something.doSomeThing("Hello World")); } @FunctionalInterface interface Something { String doSomeThing(String word); } public static void main(String[] args) { print(new Something() { @Override public String doSomeThing(String word) { return word.concat(" - it is no fun to AnonymousInnerClass"); } }); //expression form. No return print((String s) -> s.concat(" = it is fun to Lambda")); //block. Need return as interface method has return. print((String s) -> {return s.concat(" = it is fun to Lambda");}); //expression. No type required as Interface defines it. print((s) -> s.concat(" = it is fun to Lambda")); //creating a concrete instance of a functional interface via assignment Something something = (s) -> s.replace("the", "thee"); System.out.println(something.doSomeThing("What the!")); java.util.function.Predicate predicate = new } }
