Functional-Interfaces

Functional interfaces are a key concept in Java 8 and later versions, representing interfaces that contain exactly one abstract method, also known as Single Abstract Method (SAM) interfaces. This design allows for the use of lambda expressions, which provide a concise way to express instances of functional interfaces. While the use of the @FunctionalInterface annotation is not mandatory, it helps enforce the rule of having a single abstract method, ensuring that the interface remains suitable for lambda expressions. Java’s standard library includes numerous built-in functional interfaces, facilitating functional programming practices within object-oriented programming paradigms.
