Cheat Sheets - Java 8

This document provides a Java 8 cheatsheet covering lambda expressions, method references, streams, and default methods in interfaces. It includes syntax examples for lambda expressions, using lambda expressions to sort a list by string length, referencing effectively final variables, static and instance method references, constructor references, defining and implementing default methods, and examples of using streams to count, join, and collect data.

Lambda expression - easy way to implement single-method (aka


functional) interface

Lambda syntax

(parameters) -> expression


(parameters) -> statement
(parameters) -> { statements }

Lambda expression examples

(int x, int y) -> x + y


() -> System.out.println("hi " + s);
(String s) -> { int n = s.length(); return n; }

Run a Runnable

Runnable r = () -> System.out.println("Hello!");


r.run();

The PI function

Callable<Double> pi = () -> 3.14;


Double p = pi.call();

Sort strings by length

String[] words = {"aaa", "b", "cc"};


Arrays.sort(words, (s1, s2) -> s1.length() - s2.length());

// equivalent to:
Arrays.sort(words, (String s1, String s2) -> s1.length() - s2.length());

Effectively final variables can be referenced in lambdas

// s is effectively final (not changed anywhere)


String s = "foo";

// s can be referenced in the lambda


Runnable r = () -> System.out.println(s);
Method reference - easy way to use existing method in a functional
way

Static method reference

// Class::staticMethod syntax
Arrays.sort(items, Util::compareItems);

// equivalent to:
Arrays.sort(items, (a, b) -> Util.compareItems(a, b));

Instance method reference

// instance::instanceMethod syntax
items.forEach(System.out::print);

// equivalent to:
items.forEach((x) -> System.out.print(x));

Reference to a method of arbitrary instance

// Class::instanceMethod syntax
items.forEach(Item::publish);

// equivalent to:
items.forEach((x) -> { x.publish(); });

Constructor reference

ConstructorReference cref = Item::new;


Item item = cref.constructor();

Default method - interface method with default implementation


Defining default methods in interfaces

interface Descriptive {

default String desc() {


return "fantastic";
}

Implementing interface with default method


class Item implements Descriptive { }

Item x = new Item();

// prints "fantastic"
System.out.println(x.desc());

Stream - sequence of values

Count the non-empty strings

List<String> strings = ...;


long n = strings.stream().filter(x -> !x.isEmpty()).count();

Join item titles

List<Item> items = ...;


String names = items.stream().map((x) -> x.getTitle()).collect(Collectors.joining(", "));

Get distinct countries from cities

List<City> cities = ...;


List<Country> countries = cities.stream().map((c) -> c.getCountry()).distinct().collect(Col
lectors.toList());

Get count, min, max, sum, and average statistics for items rating

List<Item> items = ...;


IntSummaryStatistics stats = items.stream().mapToInt((x) -> x.getRating()).summaryStatistic
s();
