1. Sorting Collections
Lambda expressions are useful for defining custom
comparison logic when sorting collections. This is
particularly handy when working with complex objects or
sorting based on specific attributes

List<String> names = Arrays.asList("Sanjay", "Ram", "Lalit");

names.sort((name1, name2) -> name1.compareTo(name2));

 2.Thread Management
Lambda expressions can be used to define the behavior of
threads, making code more concise and readable,
especially when working with multithreading.

Thread
optionalValue != null) thread with
{ // Do something = new Thread(() -> {
// Thread
e value } else { // Handle behavior
the case where the defined here
value is null }
System.out.println("Thread is running"); });

 3. Stream Processing
1. Lambda expressions are extensively used with the Stream
API for processing collections of data in a functional style.

2.They allow for concise and expressive transformations and

operations on streams of element

List<Integer>
optionalValue numbers
!= null) { // Do something = Arrays.asList(1,
with 2, 3, 4, 5);
e value } else { // Handle int sum
the case = numbers.stream()
where the
value is null }
.filter(num -> num % 2 == 0)
.mapToInt(num -> num * num)
.sum();

 4.Callback Functions
Lambda expressions can be used to define callback
functions or listeners, allowing for clean and concise code
when working with asynchronous tasks or event-driven
architectures.

public interface Callback {

void onComplete(String result);
}
optionalValue != null) { // Do something with
public
e value } else { // Handle the case class
where the AsyncTask {
value ispublic
null } void execute(Callback callback) {
// Asynchronous task execution
String result = "Task completed";
callback.onComplete(result);
}
}

// Usage
AsyncTask task = new AsyncTask();
task.execute(result -> System.out.println("Callback: " +
result));

 5.Dependency Injection:
Lambda expressions can be employed for defining lightweight
anonymous implementations of functional interfaces during
dependency injection, especially in frameworks like Spring.

@Autowired
private SomeService someService;
optionalValue != null) { // Do something with
e value } else { // Handle the case where the
value is null }someService.doSomething(() ->
{
// Logic here

});

 6.Exception Handling:
Lambda expressions can be used to define exception-handling
logic, especially when working with functional interfaces that
throw checked exceptions.

try {

Files.lines(Paths.get("file.txt"))
optionalValue != null) { // Do something with
.forEach(line ->
e value } else { // Handle the case where the
value is null }
System.out.println(line));

} catch (IOException e) {

System.err.println("Error reading file: " +

e.getMessage());
}
