How to use Consumer and BiConsumer interfaces in lambda expression in Java?

A Consumer interface is a predefined functional interface that can be used when creating lambda expressions or method references. This interface represents an operation that accepts a single input parameter and doesn't return anything. It contains only one method named accept(). The BiConsumer interface is similar to a Consumer interface and accepts two input parameters and doesn’t return anything.

Syntax

@FunctionalInterface
public interface Consumer<T>

@FunctionalInterface
public interface BiConsumer<T, U>

Example

import java.util.*;
import java.util.function.*;

public class ConsumerBiConsumerTest {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Consumer<String> c = (x) -> System.out.println(x.toLowerCase());  // lambda expression
      c.accept("Raja");
 
      Consumer<Integer> con = (x) -> {  // lambda expression
         System.out.println(x + 10);
         System.out.println(x - 10);
      };
      con.accept(10);

      BiConsumer<Strng, String> bc = (x, y) -> { System.out.println(x + y);};
      bc.accept("1", "2");

      List<Person> plist = Arrays.asList(new Person("RAJA"), new Person("ADITHYA"));
      acceptAllEmployee(plist, p -> System.out.println(p.name));
      acceptAllEmployee(plist, p -> {p.name = "unknown";});
      acceptAllEmployee(plist, p -> System.out.println(p.name));
   }
   public static void acceptAllEmployee(List<Person> plist, Consumer<P> con) {
      for(Person p : plist) {
         con.accept(p);
      }
   }
}

// Person class
class Person {
   public String name;
   public Person(String name) {
      this.name = name;
   }
}

Output
