Ques 11. What is the difference between Predicate and Function?

Both are functional interfaces.
  • Predicate<T> is single argument function and either it returns true or false. This can be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
  • Function<T,R> is also single argument function but it returns an Object. Here T denotes type of input to the function and R denotes type of Result. This can also be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

Ques 12. What the issues with Old Date and time API before Java 8? Date and Time API differences between Java 8 and earlier Java version.

Issues with old Date and Time API:
  • Thread Safety: You might be already aware that java.util.Date is mutable and not thread safe. Even java.text.SimpleDateFormat is also not Thread-Safe. New Java 8 date and time APIs are thread safe.
  • Performance: Java 8 new APIs are better in performance than old Java APIs.
  • More Readable: Old APIs such Calendar and Date are poorly designed and hard to understand. Java 8 Date and Time APIs are easy to understand and comply with ISO standards.

Ques 15. Do we have PermGen in Java 8? What is MetaSpace in Java 8?

Until Java 7, JVM used an area called PermGen to store classes. It got removed in Java 8 and replaced by MetaSpace.
Major advantage of MetaSpace over permgen:
PermGen was fixed in term of maximum size and can not grow dynamically but Metaspace can grow dynamically and do not have any size constraint.
