Java 8 was released by Oracle after 2 Years 7 Months 18 Days of release of java 7 on March 18th, 2014. However, after Java 1.5 version, Java 8 is the next major release version. Before Java 8, Sun community focused majorly on objects, but in Java 8 version, Oracle community has focused more on functional programming to bring its benefits to the Java language. However, it doesn’t mean that Java is a functional oriented programming language, but we should grasp it in a way that we can apply functional aspects of programming as well now with Java 8. It is a part of Java 8, as an object oriented programming. Here, we will discuss new Java 8 Features one by

Predefined Functional Interfaces
I would consider that we have a clear understating of Functional Interfaces from the Topic "The Functional Interfaces in Java 8". We have also covered other topics related to it like Why it is introduced, its benefits & when to use it. However, some commonly used Predefined Functional Interfaces are listed in the attached table. Moreover, we will discuss all of them in detail in below sections. What are Predefined Functional Interfaces? Benefits of Using them? Java 8 has provided some Predefined (Built-in) Functional Interfaces to make our programming easier. Moreover, Predefined Functional Interfaces include most commonly used methods which are available to a programmer by default. In our day to day programming many times we come across re-occurring functionalities to be
Java Stream API Interview Questions
If you are a java developer, you should have a solid understanding of Java 8 features, especially in the programming part. According to the observations of various corporate trainers in Java, developers comparatively take much time to understand the Java Stream API concepts. They also recommend that developers need much coding practice on Java Stream API concepts rather than going through theoretical concepts again & again. In this article, we will be doing coding practice in the form of MCQs that are frequently asked in the interviews. Undoubtedly, you must also get benefit in the interviews from these Java Stream API Interview Questions. So, whether you are a beginner or a professional, solve these Java Stream API Interview Questions to learn
Java 8 Interview Questions
If you are a Java developer looking to crack your next job interview, you'll need to have a solid understanding of Java 8. To help you prepare, we have put together a brief guide packed with the most frequently asked Java 8 interview questions and their answers. From functional interfaces to lambdas and streams, we have included all the most important topics you will need to know to impress your interviewer and settle your ideal job. So, whether you are a beginner or a professional, read on to learn or refresh your concepts of Java 8 before appearing in the interview. Who can get benefit from these questions? 1) Job seekers: If you are looking for a job as a Java developer
MCQ on Java 8 Features
Details on this page are a little bit different than at other pages. Rather than going through some theoretical or practical way of learning Java 8 Features, we will test our understanding of the same via solving multiple choice questions (MCQs). In this page, we will talk about ‘MCQ on Java 8 Features’. Answer & Explanation of each question are given at the bottom of this page. You will find these questions for the first time on the web as they are created after putting a strong effort. You may also find these questions in some other websites/blogs after publishing this page. Someone who likes the questions & interested in copying the questions can just provide a reference of this page as
How to Sort List by Date in Java 8 ?
Sorting a List by Date sometimes becomes a bit tricky. One of the tricky part is how to handle date format and then perform the sorting. In this article 'How to Sort List by Date in Java 8 ?', we will discuss sorting of three types of Dates. These are java.util.Date, java.time.LocalDate and java.time.LocalDateTime. Further, in order to sort the list, we will use three approaches. Using these approaches, we will utilize the new concepts introduced in Java 8. Moreover, these concepts are Lambda Expressions, Method References and Stream API. Additionally, if you want to know how to sort a general list in Java 8 we have separate article on 'How To Sort the List In Java 8?'. Here we will
How To Sort the List in Java 8
During project development, every developer come across a situation where implementation of sorting becomes mandatory. There are many flavors of sorting. It depends on the scenario which one to implement where. In this article, we have mainly focused on sorting using Java 8. Moreover, we have also provided an example which was being used before the introduction of Java 8. Hence our article is on 'How To Sort the List in Java 8'. Sorting a list using Java 8 can be more performant due to the introduction of the Java Stream API and lambda expressions, which enable more efficient sorting operations. There are multiple ways to sort a list of items already available before Java 8. Further, Java 8 has introduced different
Java Interface
Either you are a beginner or a professional in Java programming language, you must have come across the term Java Interface. As a beginner, if not, actually you have not learnt the Java language properly. Even you may not be a good Java Programmer, if you have not learnt each aspect of a Java Interface. You are expected to know about Java Interface in a deeper way. Additionally, what are the changes introduced in newer versions of JDK, especially in JDK8. For example, the introduction of default and static methods in Java Interface. Needless so say, the introduction of new features in Java 8 has completely changed the definition of Java Interface. Before Java 8, no method with a body was
Static Methods In Interface
Before learning the Static Methods in Interface let's go back to JDK 7 and older versions, and memorize the scope of a static method. We will come to a conclusion that Static Methods could be defined in a class, abstract class, final class but not in an interface. However, from JDK 8 onward, we can define Static Methods in Interface as well. Now you might have one question 'What is the need of defining Static methods in Interface?'. Wait for a couple of minutes, you will get to know each & every concept behind it. In this article we will have a closer look on the 'Static Methods in Interface'. Furthermore, we will also talk about main() method as the main()
Default Method in Interface
As we are aware that till JDK 7 we couldn't include implemented method inside an interface. In other words, there was no provision to have a method body inside a method of an Interface. But for those who are reading Default Methods for the first time it will be very surprising. The surprise is that we can now include an implemented method inside an Interface. Therefore, we can also have an implemented method inside an interface. Here, we are talking about default method in interface. The most use of default method in interface is to provide additional functionality to a given type without breaking down the implementing classes. In this article, we are going to take a deeper look on default
