Method Reference is a wonderful feature introduced in Java 8.  Apart from taking advantage of functional programming, one of the biggest advantages in using a Lambda expression is to minimize the lines of code. Similarly, Method Reference in Java 8 [::] also minimizes lines of code even more than Lambda. However, we use both of them in the presence of functional interfaces only. Moreover, It is also a concise and simpler form of lambda expression. In this article, we will also learn how to change a Lambda expression into a method reference. Let's start discussing about 'Method Reference in Java 8 [::]' and it's related concepts.​ What is Method Reference(::)? As we have seen in Lambda expression topic that we use lambda
