The book covers essential topics, such as functional interfaces and type inference, and the key differences between lambdas and closures. You will learn about the background to functional programming and lambdas, before moving on to understanding the basic syntax of lambdas and what differentiates these anonymous functions from standard anonymous classes. Lastly, you'll learn how to invoke lambdas and look at the bytecode generated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter reading this book, you'll understand lambdas in depth, their background, syntax, implementation details, and how and when to use them. You'll also have a clear knowledge of the difference between functions and classes, and why that's relevant to lambdas. This knowledge will enable you to appreciate the improvements to type inference that drive a lot of the new features in modern Java, and will increase your understanding of method references and scoping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle and approach\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a deep dive into one of the core new features of the Java language – Lambdas.
