Recently in an interview a candidate was asked regarding the four core functional interfaces of Java 8. He went blank when asked what each of them is about.
Here are the 4 core functional interfaces:
1. Predicate<T>
Tests if an input satisfies a condition, returning true or false.
How I remember: Like a bouncer at a club checking if you're on the guest list before letting you in.
2. Function<T, R>
Takes one input and produces one output, transforming data.
How I remember: A vending machine that accepts coins (input) and dispenses a soda (output).
3. Supplier<T>
Provides a result without needing any input, like a factory method.
How I remember: A magic hat that pulls out a rabbit on demand, no tricks required upfront.
4. Consumer<T>
Accepts an input and performs an action on it, but returns nothing.
How I remember: A trash can that takes your garbage (input) and just disposes of it, no receipt given
I'm providing an example which uses all these 4
