Q50. What Are The Characteristics Of A Java 8 Lambda Expression?
A lambda expression is characterized by the following syntax – parameter −> expression body
Following are the important characteristics of a lambda expression −
- Optional type declaration − No need to declare the type of a parameter. The compiler can inference the same from the value of the parameter.
- Optional parenthesis around parameter − No need to declare a single parameter in parenthesis. For multiple parameters, parentheses are required.
- Optional curly braces − No need to use curly braces in expression body if the body contains a single statement.
- Optional return keyword − The compiler automatically returns the value if the body has a single expression to return the value. Curly braces are required to indicate that expression returns a value.
