| | | | Purpose of this post is to providea glimpse of the new features included in Java 8 that shiftthis language towards a more Functional Programming paradigm. But before, let's define what we understand for Functional Programming (FP). Functional programming key characteristics include: Higher Order Functions Pure Functions and Immutability Tail Call Recursion Higher Order Functions for a FP language means that functions are considered first class citizens, allowing the programmer to use them as any other value the language defines, for example, a Function value: | |
