Admin
info@buggybread.com
Ans. Its an anonymous method without any declaration.

Lambda Expression are useful to write shorthand Code and hence saves the effort of writing lengthy Code.

It promotes Developer productivity, Better Readable and Reliable code.

Not frequently asked as it was introduced with Java 8.
 Q2. Difference between final and effectively final ? Why is effectively final even required ?Core Java
Admin
info@buggybread.com
Ans. Final variable means a variable that has been declared final and hence cannot be de referenced after initialization. Effective final means a variable that has not been declared final but haven't been reassigned the value after initialization.

First is the regulation that restricts the reassignment and will raise a compilation error if we try to do so. Second is the outcome without the restriction.

Effective Final is the eventual treatment of the variable that is required for many features. For eq - Java 8 requires that local variables referenced from a lambda expression must be final or effectively final.It means all local referenced from lambda expressions must be such that their value shouldn't be changed after initialization whether declared final or not.

 Q3. Difference between Predicate, Supplier and Consumer ? Core Java
Admin
info@buggybread.com
Ans. Predicate represents an anonymous function that accepts one argument and produces a result.

Supplier represents an anonymous function that accepts no argument and produces a result.

Consumer represents an anonymous function that accepts an argument and produces no result.

 Q4. What are the problems one could face while working with serverless technologies like AWS Lambda ?Amazon Web Services (AWS)2018-01-30 18:05:47

Ans. Warm up time for certain technologies like Java ( JVM Warmup )

Performance

Size of Deployable ( Bigger size packaging should go in S3 )

 Q5. What would you do if you see an error thrown by a lambda function as "Access Denied" while doing something with S3 ?Amazon Web Services (AWS)2018-10-26 11:34:47

Ans. Just like people , AWS resources too have execution roles or permissions. Seems like in such a situation Lambda function may not have sufficient privileges to perform operations on S3. For example - The execution role of Lambda may just have read permissions on S3 and we may be trying to perform PutObject operation.

 Q8. Write a Program that gets a set of numbers , filters out the non prime numbers , calculate the factorial of each prime number and then finds the average of all factorials using Lambda expressions2017-05-14 14:02:57

Ans. public class BuggyBread1 {
   
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      
      // Declare and Initialize the Collection
      Set<Integer> intSet = new HashSet<Integer>();

      // Add Elements
      intSet.add(1);
      intSet.add(2);
      intSet.add(3);
      intSet.add(4);
      intSet.add(5);

      double averageOfNonPrimeFactorials = intSet.stream().filter(p->checkIfPrime(p)).collect(Collectors.averagingInt(p->calculateFactorial(p)));
      
      System.out.println(averageOfNonPrimeFactorials );
   }
   
   static private boolean checkIfPrime(int num){
      for(int count=2;count < num;count++){
         if(num % count == 0){
            return false;
         }
      }
      return true;
   }
   
   static private int calculateFactorial(int num){
      int factorial = 1;
      for(int count=num;count > 0;count--){
         factorial = factorial * count;
      }
      return factorial;
   }
}

Rarely asked as it was introduced with Java 8.
 Q10. Difference between DoubleSummaryStatistics , IntSummaryStatistics and LongSummaryStatistics ?Core Java
Admin
info@buggybread.com
Ans. They all does the same task i.e to compute statistical information on the stream of data. They differ by the way they store the statistical information as they expect a different data type of the values being used.

IntSummaryStatistics and LongSummaryStatistics expect non floating point values and hence stores the statistical information like min,max and sum as non floating values ( int or long ) whereas DoubleSummaryStatistics stores these information as floating value.
