Java 8, which was released by Oracle in March 2014, is a major update to the Java programming language. The key features of Java-8 are:
- Lambda Expressions: Introduce functional programming capabilities, enabling more concise and readable code.
- Stream API: Supports functional-style operations on data collections, making it easier to process and manipulate data.
- New Date and Time API: Provides a more consistent and user-friendly approach to handling dates and times.
- Default Methods: Allow interfaces to have method implementations, providing more flexibility in interface design and evolution.
These enhancements make Java more modern, efficient, and expressive.
This post (Lecture) will cover these topics one by one:
- Lambda Expressions
- Functional Interfaces
- Default methods in Interface
- Stream API
- Date & Time API ( JODA API)
