The document discusses the transition from traditional object-oriented programming (OOP) to functional programming (FP) in Java 8, highlighting the key features such as lambda expressions, method references, and functional interfaces. It explains when to use each programming paradigm and how Java 8 incorporates these concepts to improve code readability and performance. Additionally, the document outlines the significance of built-in functional interfaces and stream operations in enhancing Java's functionality.
Insight into java 1.8, OOP VS FP
- 1. Insight into Java 1.8 “Java is still not dead—and people are starting to figure that out.” Prepared by: Syed Awais Mazhar [email protected]
- 2. Agenda Object Oriented Programming. Functional Programming. FP VS OOP Java 8 Recent API’s
- 3. 5 mins Object Oriented Programming. 5 mins Functional Programming. 5 mins FP VS OOP 35 mins Java 8 Recent API’s - Lambda Expressions - Method References - Built-in Functional Interfaces, etc. 15 mins Java Collections and Streams Time Breakthrough
- 4. Object Oriented Programming OOP is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects", which are data structures that contain data, in the form of fields, often known as attributes; and code, in the form of procedures, often known as methods. When to choose object oriented approach? When you have a fixed set of operations on things, and as your code evolves, you primarily add new things. This can be accomplished by adding new classes which implement existing methods, and the existing classes are left alone.
- 5. Functional Programming Functional programming is a programming paradigm, a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs, that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data. When to choose functional approach? When you have a fixed set of things, and as your code evolves, you primarily add new operations on existing things. This can be accomplished by adding new functions which compute with existing data types, and the existing functions are left alone.
- 6. FP says that data and behavior are distinctively different things and should be kept separate for clarity Data is only loosely coupled to functions. Functions hide implementations OOP says that bringing together data and its behaviour in a single location makes it easier to understand how a program works. Data and operations are tightly coupled. Objects hide implementation of operations from other objects. Object Oriented Programming Functional Programming VS
- 7. Central model of abstraction is the function, not the data structure Central activity is writing new functions, and composing functions together. Central model of abstraction is the data itself. Central activity is composing new objects and extending existing objects by adding new methods Object Oriented Programming Functional Programming VS
- 8. Java 8 Default Methods for Interfaces Functional Interfaces Lambda expressions Method References Built-in Functional Interfaces Streams Why Lambdas?
- 9. Default Methods for Interfaces Java 8 enables us to add non-abstract method implementations to interfaces by utilizing the default keyword.
- 10. Functional Interfaces An interface which contain exactly one abstract method declaration. Since default methods are not abstract you're free to add default methods to your functional interface. To ensure that your interface meet the requirements, you should add the @FunctionalInterface annotation. The compiler is aware of this annotation and throws a compiler error as soon as you try to add a second abstract method declaration to the interface.
- 11. Lambda - a formal definition Anonymous function (also function literal or lambda abstraction) is a function definition that is not bound to an identifier. Lambdas are often: ● Passed as an arguments to higher order functions. Or ● Used to construct a result of a higher order function that needs to return a function.
- 12. Lambda expressions Let's start with a simple example of how to sort a list of strings in prior versions of Java: The static utility method Collections.sort accepts a list and a comparator in order to sort the elements of the given list. You often find yourself creating anonymous comparators and pass them to the sort method.
- 13. Lambda expressions Instead of creating anonymous objects all day long, Java 8 comes with a much shorter syntax, lambda expressions: For one line method bodies you can skip both the braces {} and the return keyword. The java compiler is aware of the parameter types so you can skip them as well.
- 14. Lambda Scopes Accessing outer scope variables from lambda expressions is very similar to anonymous objects. You can access final variables from the local outer scope as well as instance fields and static variables. But different to anonymous objects the variable num does not have to be declared final. But It is meant to be final, i.e we can not change the value of num. It will be compile time error if we do so.
- 15. Lambda Scopes Accessing Default Interface Methods: Default methods cannot be accessed from within lambda expressions. The following code does not compile:
- 16. Method References It is a feature which is related to Lambda Expression. It allows us to reference constructors or methods without executing them. Method references and Lambda are similar in that they both require a target type that consist of a compatible functional interface.
- 17. Built-in Functional Interfaces The JDK 1.8 API contains many built-in functional interfaces. Some of them are well known from older versions of Java like Comparator or Runnable. Those existing interfaces are extended to enable Lambda support via the @FunctionalInterface annotation. Predicates: Predicates are boolean-valued functions of one argument. The interface contains various default methods for composing predicates to complex logical terms (and, or, negate)
- 19. Built-in Functional Interfaces Functions: Functions accept one argument and produce a result. Default methods can be used to chain multiple functions together (compose, andThen).
- 20. Built-in Functional Interfaces Suppliers: Suppliers produce a result of a given generic type. Unlike Functions, Suppliers don't accept arguments. Consumers: Consumers represents operations to be performed on a single input argument.
- 21. Built-in Functional Interfaces Optionals: Optional is a simple container for a value which may be null or non-null. Think of a method which may return a non-null result but sometimes return nothing. Instead of returning null you return an Optional in Java 8.
- 22. Streams A java.util.Stream represents a sequence of elements on which one or more operations can be performed. Stream operations are either intermediate or terminal. While terminal operations return a result of a certain type, intermediate operations return the stream itself so you can chain multiple method calls in a row. Streams are created on a source, e.g. a java.util.Collection like lists or sets (maps are not supported). Stream operations can either be executed sequential or parallel.
- 23. Streams Collections in Java 8 are extended so you can simply create streams either by calling Collection.stream() or Collection.parallelStream() . The following sections explain the most common stream operations. I. Filter II. Sorted III. Map IV. Match V. Count VI. Reduce
- 24. Parallel Streams As mentioned above streams can be either sequential or parallel. Operations on sequential streams are performed on a single thread while operations on parallel streams are performed concurrently on multiple threads. Let’s check the code example.
- 25. Lambda expressions Why Lambdas? Enables Functional Programming Readable and concise code. Easier to use API’s and Libraries. Enable Support for parallel processing
