Full tutorial for Lamba expressions in Java.
Complete Java course: codingwithjohn.thinkific.com/...
Lambdas in Java can be very confusing and hard to understand for a beginner Java learner, but they don't have to be. Lambda expressions allow you to create a method implementation as an object, and you can learn how in this tutorial.
Lambdas were introduced in Java 8, and are one of the coolest things in the Java language. By the end of this video, you'll know all about how Lambdas work, and how and when you can use them.
Learn or improve your Java by watching it being coded live!

One additional note - although lambdas do only work in the context of a functional interface, you don't necessarily need to always create your own in order to use one. There are many that are built into Java, and they cover most uses cases you'll see: docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/function/package-summary.html

@rokitap.w1193 2 года назад

I swear John you must be going to my university with me or something this is the exact thing I needed thank you!

@libertymedicalcommunicatio4908 2 года назад

Thanks for this

@Hufsa 2 года назад

Great, I was looking for this, thank you!

@yasseromari1074 2 года назад

Good job , thank you for that !! Also I would love to see you making a video about streams and how we can associate the use of it with lambdas. Regards 👍🏻

Please do Java Reflection, if there is a person who can do it well, it would be you

@danielcommins1285 2 года назад

The key point here like you say is lambdas allow method definitions to be used as variables/objects. Many other languages allow for function names to be passed as variables for callbacks and whatnot and Java never had a clean way to do that until lambdas. Only thing I would add to this is that putting the parameter type in the lambda expression is allowed and makes it easier to understand that the lambda is a method definition: (String p, String s) -> //code

@stepbystepcoding4113 2 года назад

thanks, bc i was wondering what was the point of all this, it didn't look like a step forward at first, it looked like a step backwards

@enfieldli9296 Год назад

It works like JS callback/anonymous function. The method definition: (String p, String s) -> {}; is indeed a caveat

@christianbarnay2499 2 месяца назад

Reflection allows that. And it exists since the very first versions of Java. It even does more than that. It allows you to break scope limitations and call a private/protected/package method from places that are not supposed to see the method. I used reflection once in my entire career. It was in java 1.2. And it was to access a method in a library that was erroneously declared as private by its author. At that time I didn't have access to a decompiler. Of course when I have a similar situation now, I simply decompile the class to create an override in my source code.

@feynthefallen 2 месяца назад

I wouldn't call that a clean way of doing it. You have to essentially create a type (functional interface) to which you then can dynamically assign an ad hoc implementation. In my mind, that's just a stupid way of doing it, compared to C or Javascript. What I would have done would be to introduce a parametrized type Function, that lets you create the declaration on the fly, like so: Function fancySquare = (String s, Number n) -> s + (n*n)

@danielcommins1285 2 месяца назад

@@feynthefallencan't you just create that parameterized type yourself? The current implementation gives more flexibility.

@felipe2637 2 года назад

I am always impressed by how good you are at making yourself understandable, your explanations are all clear and meaningful. It's definitely a privilege being able to access such a high quality content for free.

@andersonabe5044 2 года назад

Hi, John, I'm not a quick learner, but I work hard. English is not my native language, and I watch and rewatch your videos a couple of times - and I can say: if you keep doing this amazing videos, I might learn some java. I'm reading a java handbook right now, but next, I'll take your course.

@fabiorachid3430 2 года назад

Head First Java book can be really helpful to you, it's really clear and easy to understand. It has translations to many languages too. You probably can find a PDF online. Use it as a complement to John's videos. Good luck!

@emmanuelnsiah8036 6 месяцев назад

You should start right now too

@djk1288 Год назад

My biggest "a-ha" moment here was when you showed how we go from public void print() {} to just () -> {}. Super intuitive, very good work!

@carlellis9647 Год назад

I've been doing Java based web application development for over 20 years. I often like to take refresher courses on things I've studied before. This is easily the best explanation with practical examples I've seen for Java Lambas. The concepts are clearly explained. Thanks John for making such a great video!

@sourabh7434 2 года назад

Please don't ever stop uploading. These videos help me in my academics and coding in general a lot. Thank You.

@curtisdevine2953 9 месяцев назад

This was an excellent video! I have struggled to understand lambdas for a while and you just connected all the pieces that reading documentation and running examples cannot. Thank you!

@alexj1580 2 года назад

When I first started coding, I have used Java and these videos have been a great refresher on the smaller and intricate things that Java has to offer. Great videos! Already learned so many things.

@raz0229 2 года назад

Java receives a lot of backlash from inexperienced and experienced developers of being too old school, bloated and lacking modern features and syntax, although.. ever since I have started watching your videos, I've seen a major improvement and they are really trying to keep things up to date as of lambda expressions which provide more of a functional approach towards problems. Turns out you just need a teacher like John to really appreciate and understand it. :)

@Quinteger 2 года назад

Also this feature has existed for a long time, version 8 where it was introduced came out in 2014. Since then they greatly accelerated their version bump speed, currently we are at version 17 with a lot of new features like local type-inferred vars, switch lambdas, data records and so on.

@misaelpereira9679 2 года назад

Never have seen a so clearly explanation about java lambdas. You rock!

@ohyeahbabyyy603 2 года назад

I find it amazing how I'm taking an advanced java course in college right now and these videos are literally covering topics we're going over. Just have to say you do an amazing job btw, literally learn more in these 12 minute videos then I do in 2 hour long lectures. THANK YOU!

@MaryamMaqdisi 2 года назад

I've been using lambda for a while but it's the first time I understand how it works behind the scenes, thanks a lot for this video!

@1234567mrbob 2 года назад

This was a big help! I've been programming in Java for 5 years, but used it like a traditional language and didn't use lambdas. They were always a big mystery to me. When I took a Java skill test there were a lot of lambda questions so that hurt me. This short course explained a lot.

@pattyboi55 2 года назад

I have been watching your videos for a while and I have to say you are an excellent resource. You explain in such an intuitive way. Now when I don't understand a concept, I check if you have done a video on it first. Thanks for all you do!

@GuilhermePalazzoRodrigues 2 года назад

This course is a gem, concise, clear and thorough, thank you!

@hyrumtanner5584 Год назад

I appreciate how your videos get straight to the point. I tried watching a video from another channel about a Java topic and at least half of the video could have been edited out with no loss of meaningful information.

@ahmadhafian3785 2 года назад

I am currently studying computer sience and been literally devouring all of your videos, they have so much information, are easy to understand and have a good structure. Thank you.

@jilliansechrest5906 Год назад

You are a phenomenal instructor - you saved my behind in data structures and algorithms and this was a great refresher on lambdas.

@chrisbrownbridge5885 2 года назад

First video I've watched of yours and I am beyond impressed! You explain things so perfect and clear which allowed me to understand it all so much easier! Definitely watching the rest of your vids! Amazing teacher!

@prathap2712 10 месяцев назад

I had to watch dozens of videos to understand lambda expressions. Finally i found the right one. Thanks a ton 🙏

@pedroalbertogomes3809 2 года назад

@dangnguyen.92 2 года назад

I have never seen anyone who can explain lambas expression as good as your. You help a lot for ppl who doesnt lambas.

@pinolskun8764 2 года назад

This is better then other courses you have to pay a premium for, your explanations are so evidently thought out in a clear to understand manner for the listener and that's absolutely beautiful. Thank you :)

@zipkitty Год назад

You did in 5 minutes what my Uni prof. couldn't in two lectures. That goes to show how much people who actually use java professionally have a deeper understanding of java.

@elairyx 2 года назад

Oh yes, thank you so much for this video! I looked at many articles before etc. but couldn't really grip the entire thing or couldn't remember how to use them - now I can :)

@EricKolotyluk 2 года назад

I have been using lambdas for many years, first with Scala, then with Java, and watching your video, I am amazed how much I learned. Kudos to you for creating such as useful lesson...

@micleh 2 года назад

Awesome. You succeed in summarizing the entire topic of the video in 30 seconds at the end, starting from 12:15. I learned a lot. I've never looked behind the scenes of lambdas so far, but just accepted the shortcuts they provide. I have no idea whether method references are worth tackling as well, but if they are, I'd very much enjoy a video on them. I've been looking forward to a new video since your last video, and this one has been totally worth waiting for. Thanks so much!

@JustinBieberFanSA Год назад

This is a great explanation of Lambdas. Thank you, I have been a java dev for the last 9 years, I have never used functional interfaces or lambdas in a professional setting but I am getting ready for my OCA certification and this is an amazing explanation. This is the first time that someone has explained it in a way that made sense to me. I am most definitely going subbing to the channel.

@jalilhasanli5577 2 года назад

Thanks a lot mate! I knew those things you were talking about. Just watched to see if you explain properly, and I can surely say that it was perfect. I will watch other tutorials you posted to learn even more.

@alantran2133 Год назад

Your videos are always so helpful for the Java beginner like me. Thanks John! Hope you always keep your good work.

@ShinMugenNoKabe 2 года назад

Great video as always Mr John, lambdas been a pain in the ass for a junior developer like for long long time and I do gotta say that I'm addicted to your videos as I learned better than in my school

@suwatchainanchai6637 7 месяцев назад

It really feels good when understanding more about how it work when I literally use it everyday especially in java stream. The Best Explaination I can find in YT. Thanks alot

@slhx8956 Год назад

I am in my last semester as a cs major. You explain these concepts so well; maybe even better than my professors, and they are all really smart people!

@oleksandr3275 2 года назад

Thanks to your video, i could understand bascis of lambda. I could catch every info you provided, but couldn't understand from other sources. Thank you so much !

@robertzaryal3416 Год назад

I found Lambda Expression is the exact same Arrow Function in JavaScript. I think it's usable in terms of functional programming but don't know whether there is a need of it in object oriented language like Java! Thumbs up for you, indeed you are a great teacher.

@AlexRubyTV Год назад

Thank you so much for the explanation! This is the best video on lambda topic that I ever seen. It is very clear and straightforward.

@burgerbob7324 Год назад

That was extremely helpful in understanding what the heck is going on with the lambda syntax. I've seen them before but immediately understand it better after seeing him do that.

@MrBadSmash 7 месяцев назад

Such a great and clear explanation. This might solve a problem I've been trying to solve in a personal project I'm building! There are still some complexities in my code that make it not exactly straightforward, but I think it's a really great start! Without this, I currently have five distinct methods that are near repeats of themselves except for just a couple of lines of code! I'll try it out and see if it can make my code a little less repetitive! Great video, great channel!
