Lambda expression is used to provide the implementation of functional interface.
Java Lambda Expression Syntax
(argument-list) -> {function-body}
Where:
Argument-list: It can be empty or non-empty as well.
Arrow notation/lambda notation: It is used to link arguments-list and body of expression.
Function-body: It contains expressions and statements for lambda expression.
Example
package com.w3spoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Stream; class Student{ int rollNo; String name; public Student(int rollNo, String name){ super(); this.rollNo = rollNo; this.name = name; } } public class LambdaExpressionExample { public static void main(String args[]){ List<Student> list=new ArrayList<Student>(); //Adding Students list.add(new Student(1,"Nidhi")); list.add(new Student(3,"Parbhjot")); list.add(new Student(2,"Amani")); // using lambda to filter data Stream<Student> filtered_data = list.stream().filter(s -> s.rollNo > 2); // using lambda to iterate through collection filtered_data.forEach( student -> System.out.println(student.name) ); } } |
Output
Parbhjot |
