什么是lambda expressions in java

        1. lambda expressions are used primarily to define inline implementation
 *      of a functional interface i.e. an interface with a single method only.
 *      
 *      2.Lambda expression elliminates the need of anonumous class and gives a

 *      very simple yet powerful functional programming capability to JAVA.
