The bookexplains how to write lambdas, and how to use them in streams and in collection processing, providing code examples throughout. You'll learn how to use lambda expressions to take full advantage of performanceimprovements provided by today's multicore hardware. This Oracle Press book covers:
Why lambdas were needed, and how they will change Javaprogramming
Syntax of lambda expressions
The basic operation of streams and pipelines
Using collectors and reduction to end pipelines
Creating streams
Spliterators, the fork/join framework, and exceptions
Examining stream performance with microbenchmarking
API evolution using default methods
