S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So our greet method talks to the printer interface,

0:06

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

and this is a functional interface because it has a single

0:10

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

abstract method.

0:11

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Now,

0:12

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

wouldn't it be nice if we could implement this method in a standalone function,

0:16

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

like a function that exists on its own without belonging to a class.

0:20

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

That is what lambda expressions are for.

0:22

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So a lambda expression is like an anonymous function that we can pass around.

0:27

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Let me show you.

0:27

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So I'm going to rewrite this code using a lambda expression.

0:31

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

First recall,

0:33

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

the greet method.

0:34

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Now here we want to pass an implementation of the print method as

0:38

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

an anonymous function.

0:39

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So this print method has a

0:44

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

single parameter of type string.

0:45

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Let's add that over here.

0:47

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

This is where we list our parameters.

0:49

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So string message.

0:51

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

After parenthesis,

0:53

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

we add an arrow.

0:55

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

This is called the lambda operator.

0:57

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

And then we add braces to represent the body of this

1:01

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

function.

1:01

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Now,

1:03

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

what should we do here?

1:04

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

We should add a print statement and print this message on the

1:08

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

console. What we have over here is called a lambda expression.

1:12

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So if you have a functional interface,

1:15

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

we can represent this functional interface using a lambda expression.

1:19

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

That is why these interfaces are called functional,

1:22

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

because they represent a function.

1:23

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So here we have a lambda expression.

1:27

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

As you can see,

1:28

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

this code is very clean and concise,

1:30

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

but we can make it better.

1:31

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

First of all,

1:32

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

we can remove the type of this parameter.

1:35

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Now, the Java compiler knows that this parameter is a string object

1:40

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

because the lambda expression that we pass over here will be checked against

1:44

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

the signature of the print method.

1:46

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So the Java compiler knows that this method has a single parameter and

1:50

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

the type of this parameter is string.

1:51

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So we don't have to repeat that type over here.

1:54

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

If I type message dot,

1:57

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

now you can see all the string methods.

1:59

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

By the same token,

2:01

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

if I add another parameter here,

2:04

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

The Java compiler complains because it knows that our print method has

2:08

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

a single parameter,

2:09

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

but here we're passing two parameters.

2:11

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Okay, so for the most part,

2:13

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

we can exclude the type of parameters and let the Java compiler infer them.

2:17

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Now,

2:18

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

if you have a single parameter,

2:19

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

we can also remove this parenthesis.

2:22

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

That makes our code cleaner and more concise.

2:25

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

We use parenthesis only if we have no parameters or

2:29

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

if you have a method with multiple parameters.

2:32

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So we separate these parameters using a comma,

2:34

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

just like how we declare the parameters of a method,

2:37

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

okay?

2:38

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So here we have a single parameter,

2:41

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

and we don't need parentheses.

2:42

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Also,

2:43

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

if the body of this function has a single line of code,

2:46

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

we don't need these braces either.

2:48

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So I can clean up this code by pressing alt and enter,

2:52

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

and selecting replace with expression lambda.

2:55

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

There you go.

2:58

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So this lambda expression looks really clean and concise.

3:00

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Compare this with an anonymous inner class.

3:04

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

This is really ugly.

3:05

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So let me remove this.

3:07

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

Alright,

3:10

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

now here we're passing a lambda expression as an argument to a method,

3:13

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

but we can also store a lambda expression in a variable.

3:17

S… Speaker 1 (4- Lambda Expressions)

For example,

3:18

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

we can declare a variable of type printer and set

3:22

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

it to a new console printer.

3:25

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So this is the concrete implementation or we can set this

3:29

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

to a lambda expression.

3:30

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So here we say message goes to print message.

3:34

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

So lambda expressions are essentially objects,

3:38

S… Speaker 2 (4- Lambda Expressions)

but we can use them to represent anonymous functions.
