Java 11 Interview Questions and Answers

Question: What is Local-Variable Syntax for Lambda Parameters in Java 11?

It allows var to be used when declaring the formal parameters of implicitly typed lambda expressions.

In Java 10, Local Variable Type Inference was introduced.

var str = "Java 10"; // infers Stringvar list = new ArrayList<String>(); // infers ArrayList<String>var stream = list.stream(); // infers Stream<String>svar bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

Java 11, allows var to be used to declare the formal parameters of an implicitly typed lambda expression.

(var a, var b) -> a + b

The examples below are illegal:

// Not allowed to mix 'var' and 'no var' in implicitly typed lambda expression(var a, b) -> a+b// Not allowed to mix 'var' and manifest types in explicitly typed lambda expression(var a, int b) -> a+b
