Lambda expressions allow for more concise implementation of functional interfaces in Java by providing a clear syntax to represent a single method interface as an expression. They are useful for iterating, filtering, and extracting data from collections in a less verbose way than traditional anonymous classes. The syntax of a lambda expression includes argument lists, arrow tokens, and an optional block of code for the body. Lambda expressions can return values, take single or multiple arguments, and omit parentheses when there is only one parameter.

Java Lambda Expressions
What is Lambda expressions?
New and important feature of Java which was included in Java SE 8. It provides a clear and concise way to represent one method interface using an expression. It is very useful in collection library. It helps to iterate, filter and extract data from collection. The Lambda expression is used to provide the implementation of an interface which has functional interface. It saves a lot of code. In case of lambda expression, we don't need to define the method again for providing the implementation. Java Lambda Expression Syntax
(argument-list) -> {body}
Lambda for Interfaces To return values With single arguments With multiple arguments Omit () if it is single parameter Without ‘return’ statement Java Lambda Expression Example: Foreach Loop Java Lambda Expression Example: Multiple Statements Creating Threads(Anonymous Class) Creating Threads (Using Lambda Expression)
