Description
Writing elegant & readable code is extremely important when building software. However, sometimes we are limited by the features of the programming language and this was the case with Java too. Code written in Java was sometimes considered verbose, which in turn made it difficult to understand. However, this started to change since Java 8 and subsequent releases. Java 8 is one of the major Java releases and it incorporated Functional-style Programming paradigm into the language by introducing constructs such as lambdas & streams. Functional programming helps us in writing code that is compact, clean and efficient.
