Functional Thinking - Programming with Lambdas in Java 8Ganesh Samarthyam
Functional programming is on the rise. Almost all major and mainstream languages support functional programming features, including C++, Java, Swift, and Python, and Visual Basic. With Java 8’s lambda functions, Java now supports functional programming. Moving to functional programming can result in significantly better code and productivity gains. However, it requires a paradigm shift: you need to move away from imperative and object-oriented thinking to start thinking functionally. That’s what this workshop will help you achieve: it will help you make your shift towards functional programming. The workshop will introduce lambda functions in Java with examples from Java library itself. Presented in OSI Days 2015 workshop - http://osidays.com/osidays/shifting-to-functional-programming-lambdas-for-java-developers/

Multi-dimensional exploration of API usage - ICPC13 - 21-05-13Coen De Roover
Presented at the 21st IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC 2013), San Francisco (USA). Website of the paper: http://softlang.uni-koblenz.de/explore-API-usage/
In this workshop we would like to take a closer look at the new features of Java 7 and Java 8.
Java 7 has brought a couple of language enhancements to assist developers in their daily programming tasks and starting from Java 8 we finally have the opportunity to include a functional programming touch to Java thanks to Lambdas! Lambdas allow us to specify closures to create clean and brief solutions for which we would otherwise be obligated to write down a lot of boilerplate code.
For example in order to sort a List of Strings based on their length we can now write the following code:
Collections.sort(list, (s1, s2) -> s1.length() - s2.length());
Besides lambdas, Java 8 also comes with extension methods, allowing us to write interfaces containing implemented methods, streams and bulk data operations, granting us the opportunity to chain operations on collections to obtain a filtered or transformed set of the elements in our collection, and the possibility to pass functions as parameters. These features alone will have a major impact on the way how Java APIs can be written. There's also a brand new Date and Time API inspired on the popular JodaTime API and a couple of other language enhancements to aid Java developers in writing solutions in a more elegant way.
Be sure to follow this workshop to stay up to date with the latest evolutions of the Java programming language. Java 8 is definitely an update of the programming language which you don't want to miss out on!

The skeletal implementation pattern is a software design pattern consisting of defining an abstract class that provides a partial interface implementation. However, since Java allows only single class inheritance, if implementers decide to extend a skeletal implementation, they will not be allowed to extend any other class. Also, discovering the skeletal implementation may require a global analysis.
Java 8 enhanced interfaces alleviate these problems by allowing interfaces to contain (default) method implementations, which implementers inherit. Java classes are then free to extend a different class, and a separate abstract class is no longer needed; developers considering implementing an interface need only examine the interface itself.
In this talk, I will argue that both these benefits improve software modularity, and I will discuss our ongoing work in developing an automated refactoring tool that would assist developers in taking advantage of the enhanced interface feature for their legacy Java software.

Automatic Migration of Legacy Java Method Implementations to InterfacesRaffi Khatchadourian
Java 8 is one of the largest upgrades to the popular language and framework in over a decade. In this talk, I will first overview several new, key features of Java 8 that can help make programs easier to read, write, and maintain, especially in regards to collections. These features include Lambda Expressions, the Stream API, and enhanced interfaces, many of which help bridge the gap between functional and imperative programming paradigms and allow for succinct concurrency implementations. Next, I will discuss several open issues related to automatically migrating (refactoring) legacy Java software to use such features correctly, efficiently, and as completely as possible. Solving these problems will help developers to maximally understand and adopt these new features thus improving their software.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Lambdas (closures) syntax
Each lambda expression has two parts separated by an arrow token: the left hand side is our method
arguments, and the right hand side is what we do with those arguments (business logic)
8. 8CONFIDENTIAL
Motivation
• Shorter way of writing an implementation of a method for later execution.
• Provides simple horizontal solution that solves the "vertical problem" presented by inner classes.
• Lambda expressions are designed to allow code to be streamlined.
• Lambdas expressions do not produce any extra classes the way nested classes do.
9. 9CONFIDENTIAL
Method reference
Oracle reference guide
“You use lambda expressions to create anonymous methods. Sometimes, however, a lambda expression does
nothing but call an existing method. In those cases, it's often clearer to refer to the existing method by name.”
Kind Example
Reference to a static method ContainingClass::staticMethodName
Reference to an instance method of
a particular object
containingObject::instanceMethodName
Reference to an instance method of
an arbitrary object of a particular
type
ContainingType::methodName
Reference to a constructor ClassName::new

11. 11CONFIDENTIAL
Pre-Built function library (java.util.function)
There are a lot of re-usable functional requirements that can be captured by functional interfaces and
lambdas. The designers of Java 8 have captured the common use cases and created a library of functions
… etc.
13. 13CONFIDENTIAL
Hello, Streams
Streams let you process data in a declarative way. We do not say how to process the data, we
just say what to do with the data.
Let’s say we need to find all transactions of type ‘grocery’ and return a list of transaction
IDs sorted in decreasing order of transaction value.
15. 15CONFIDENTIAL
Streams versus Collections
Q. What is the difference?
Q. So when should I use streams and why?
Q. On demand?
A. In a nutshell, collections are about data and streams are about computations.
A. Use streams when things are computed. A collection is an in-memory data structure, which holds all the
values that the data structure currently has—every element in the collection has to be computed before it can
be added to the collection. In contrast, a stream is a conceptually fixed data structure in which elements are
computed on demand.
A. Yes, look:
limit(2) uses short-
circuiting;
we need to process
only part of the
stream, not all of
it.

So…
Stream as an abstraction for expressing
efficient, SQL-like operations on a

A. “… a container object which may or may not contain a non-null value...” Java 8 Reference Guide
Q. Of course, the null reference is the source of many problems. But how does Optional solve them?

21. 21CONFIDENTIAL
What are default methods?
Default methods enable you to add new functionality to the interfaces of your libraries and ensure
backward compatibility with code written for older versions of those interfaces.
The forEach isn’t declared by java.util.List nor the java.util.Collection interface yet. The solution would
be to just add the new method to the existing interface and provide the implementation where required in
the JDK. But, once published, it is impossible to add methods to an interface without breaking the existing
implementation
Syntax
22. 22CONFIDENTIAL
Extending interfaces with default methods
When you extend an interface that contains a default method, you can do the following:
Not mention the default method at all, which lets inherit the default method.
Redeclare the default method, which makes it abstract.
Redefine the default method, which overrides it.
23. 23CONFIDENTIAL
Tricks
“What if the class implements two interfaces and both those interfaces define a default method with
the same signature?”
24. 24CONFIDENTIAL
Static methods
Like static methods in classes, you specify that a method definition in an interface is a static method
with the static keyword at the beginning of the method signature. All method declarations in an
interface, including static methods, are implicitly public, so you can omit the public modifier.
Applications. Examples
The Comparator interface has been enhanced with this ability with the default method reversed:
26. 26CONFIDENTIAL
Date API. Core ideas.
The new API is driven by three core ideas:
Domain-driven design. The new API models its domain very precisely with classes that represent
different use cases for Date and Time closely. This differs from previous Java libraries that were quite
poor in that regard.
Immutable-value classes. One of the serious weaknesses of the existing formatters in Java is that they aren’t
thread-safe. This puts the burden on developers to use them in a thread-safe manner and to think about
concurrency problems in their day-to-day development of date-handling code. The new API avoids this issue
by ensuring that all its core classes are immutable and represent well-defined values.
Separation of chronologies. The new API allows people to work with different calendaring systems in order to
support the needs of users in some areas of the world, such as Japan or Thailand, that don’t necessarily follow
ISO-8601. It does so without imposing additional burden on the majority of developers, who need to work only
with the standard chronology
27. 27CONFIDENTIAL
Date API. Creating.
The first classes you will probably encounter when using the new API are LocalDate and LocalTime.
Standard Java getter conventions are used in order to obtain values from Java SE 8 classes
28. 28CONFIDENTIAL
Date API. Creating (2).
There are also methods for calculations based on the different fields.
The new API also has the concept of an adjuster— a block of code that can be used to wrap
up common processing logic
29. 29CONFIDENTIAL
Date API. Go ahead.
The new API supports different precision time points by offering types to represent a date, a
time, and date with time, but obviously there are notions of precision that are more fine-
grained than this.
Time Zones
A time zone is a set of rules, corresponding to a region in which the standard time is the same
Before starting I want pay your attention to some problems you might have when installing new Java 8 SDK. If you use any Tomcat of version 7 on your local machine you will probably fail to run it on top of Java 8. Because Apache Tomcat 7 is not compatible with Java 8. So there are several options: you have to update your Tomcat. Or if you do not want any updates, make sure your JAVA_HOME is not pointing to Java 8 SDK directory.
So the first Java 8 release was at the 18-th of March in 2014. Later on Oracle released different security updates, different patches and so on.
The main features of Java 8 are:
Lambda expression - Adds functional processing capability to JAVA.
Optional - Emphasis on best practices, to handle null values properly.
Default method - Interface to have default method implementation.
New Tools - New compiler tools and utilities are added like jdeps to figure out the dependencies.
Stream API - New stream API to facilitate pipeline processing.
Date Time API - Improved date time api.
Nashorn , JavaScript Engine - A JAVA based engine to execute JavaScript code.
This is Duke
Each lambda expression has two parts separated by an arrow token: the left hand side is our method arguments, and the right hand side is what we do with those arguments (business logic)
Let’s take a look at the example below.
1
2 as you may have noticed we omitted types of the arguments and that OK. You will understand it later.
3 If your business logic is much more complex than just a line of code you may use curly braces.
4 no args
And it’s not even about lines of code.
Lambdas expressions do not produce any extra classes the way inner classes do – so you don’t overheat JVM with a lot of class files it should load into memory. Lambdas has some low-level implementation. It is not just a syntax sugar over nested classes.
Useful info:
When to Use Nested Classes, Local Classes, Anonymous Classes, and Lambda Expressions
As mentioned in the section Nested Classes, nested classes enable you to logically group classes that are only used in one place, increase the use of encapsulation, and create more readable and maintainable code. Local classes, anonymous classes, and lambda expressions also impart these advantages; however, they are intended to be used for more specific situations:
Local class: Use it if you need to create more than one instance of a class, access its constructor, or introduce a new, named type (because, for example, you need to invoke additional methods later).
Anonymous class: Use it if you need to declare fields or additional methods.
Lambda expression:
Use it if you are encapsulating a single unit of behavior that you want to pass to other code. For example, you would use a lambda expression if you want a certain action performed on each element of a collection, when a process is completed, or when a process encounters an error.
Use it if you need a simple instance of a functional interface and none of the preceding criteria apply (for example, you do not need a constructor, a named type, fields, or additional methods).
Nested class: Use it if your requirements are similar to those of a local class, you want to make the type more widely available, and you don't require access to local variables or method parameters.
Use a non-static nested class (or inner class) if you require access to an enclosing instance's non-public fields and methods. Use a static nested class if you don't require this access.
You use lambda expressions to create anonymous methods.
Sometimes a lambda expression does nothing but call an existing method.
In those cases, it's often clearer to refer to the existing method by name. So Oracle has just created a so called syntax sugar.
There different kinds of method references…
Lambdas expressed single method classes. They can either be assigned to a variable or passed around to other methods just like we pass data as arguments. And here where functional interfaces come into. Conceptually, a functional interface has exactly one abstract method. Well know classes: (e.g. Runnable, Callable, Comparator).
In Java 8 all the mentioned classes are marked with @FunctionalInterface annotation. It just a marker you may not use it. An informative annotation used to indicate that an interface is intended to be a functional interface as defined by the Java Language Specification. Conceptually, a functional interface has exactly one abstract method
1 We tell the compiler ‘I want to implement check method from ITrade so to someone else can pass me as arguments to another method’
2 The second one is the same.
3 We do not change the signature of our method, we just pass different trend lambdas

Streams let you process data in a declarative way. We do not say how to process the data, we just say what to do with the data.
Example
…
By the way Stream operations that can be connected are called intermediate operations.
Power of parallel streams
…
(in the end)
This is because limit(2) uses short-circuiting; we need to process only part of the stream, not all of it, to return a result.
List<String> phrases = Arrays.asList( "sporadic perjury", "confounded skimming", "incumbent jailer", "confounded jailer"); List<String> uniqueWords = phrases .stream() .flatMap(phrase -> Stream.of(phrase.split(" +"))) .distinct() .sorted() .collect(Collectors.toList()); System.out.println("Unique words: " + uniqueWords);... and the output:
Unique words: [confounded, incumbent, jailer, perjury, skimming, sporadic]

You use orElse() in situation where you want to have an alternative value in case T is null.
orElseGet() method is similar to orElse(), but instead of providing an alternative, should in case null is encountered, you provide code which can be used to generate the alternative value .
orElseThrow() comes in handy when you want to decide which exception to throw in case a null value is encountered.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/defaultmethods.html
The primary goal of default methods is to enable an evolution of standard JDK interfaces and provide a smooth experience when we finally start using lambdas in Java 8. Who knows, maybe in the future we will see some more applications of default methods for API design.
This example demonstrates how the Comparator interface has been enhanced with default methods, static methods, lambda expressions, and method references to create more expressive library methods whose functionality programmers can quickly deduce by looking at how they are invoked. Use these constructs to enhance the interfaces in your libraries.
