The "this" and "super" references within a lambda expression are the same as in the enclosing context. Since the lambda expression doesn't define a new scope, "this" keyword within a lambda expression signifies "this" parameter of a method where the lambda expression is residing.In the below example, this.toString() calls the toString() ...

IntConsumer interface is a functional interface from java.util.function package in Java 8. This interface accepts a single int-valued argument as input but doesn't produce any output. Since it is a functional interface, it can be used as an assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference. It contains one abstract method: accept() and ... Read More

DoubleConsumer is a functional interface from java.util.function package. This functional interface accepts a single double-valued argument as input and produces no output. This interface can be used as an assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference. DoubleConsumer contains one abstract method: accept() and one default method: andThen().Syntax@FunctionalInterface public interface DoubleConsumer {    void ... Read More

LongConsumer is a in-built functional interface from java.util.function package. This interface can accept a single long-valued argument as input and doesn't produce any output. It can also be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference and contains one abstract method: accept() and one default method: andThen().Syntax@FunctionalInterface public interface LongConsumerExample-1import java.util.function.LongConsumer; ...

An event handling code that runs on a special thread called event dispatch thread(EDT). Most of the code that invokes swing methods also runs on this EDT thread. It is necessary because most of swing object methods do not thread-safe. SwingUtilities is a utility class and has one important static method, invokeLater(). This ... Read More

DoubleBinaryOperator is a functional interface defined in java.util.function package. It accepts two parameters of type double as input and produces another double value as a result. DoubleBinaryOperator interface can be used as an assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference and has only one abstract method applyAsDouble().Syntax@FunctionalInterface public interface DoubleBinaryOperator {  double applyAsDouble(double left, double right); ...

IntPredicate interface is a built-in functional interface defined in java.util.function package. This functional interface accepts one int-valued argument as input and produces a boolean value as an output. This interface is a specialization of the Predicate interface and used as an assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference. It provides only one abstract method, ... Read More

The javafx.event package provides a framework for Java FX events. The Event class serves as the base class for JavaFX events and associated with each event is an event source, an event target, and an event type. An ActionEvent widely used when a button is pressed.In the below program, we can implement an ActionEvent for a button by ... Read More

ToDoubleFunction is a functional interface defined in java.util.function package. This functional interface expects a parameter as input and produces a double-valued result. It is used as an assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
