Lambda Demos

Motivation

JDK 8 added lambdas to alleviate the bulkiness of anonymous inner classes. We use lambdas heavily in 231.

Background

Lambda Expressions

Code To Investigate

fork join

==x10.finish==
 <nowiki>System.out.println("start");

Future<Void> apples = void_fork(() -> {
	sleepRandom(1_000);
	System.out.println("-apples");
});
Future<Void> oranges = void_fork(() -> {
	sleepRandom(1_000);
	System.out.println("--oranges");
});
Future<Void> bananas = void_fork(() -> {
	sleepRandom(1_000);
	System.out.println("---bananas");
});
Future<Void> mangoes = void_fork(() -> {
	sleepRandom(1_000);
	System.out.println("----mangoes");
});

join(apples, oranges, bananas, mangoes);

System.out.println("stop");
