How can we write Callable as a lambda expression in Java?
A Callable interface defined in java.util.concurrent package. An object of Callable returns a computed result done by a thread in contrast to a Runnable interface that can only run the thread. The Callable object returns Future object that provides methods to monitor the progress of a task executed by a thread. An object of the Future used to check the status of a Callable interface and retrieves the result from Callable once the thread has done.
In the below example, we can write a Callable interface as a Lambda Expression.
Example
import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class LambdaCallableTest {
public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException {
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
Callable c = () -> { // Lambda Expression
int n = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
n += i;
}
return n;
};
Future<Integer> future = executor.submit(c);
try {
Integer result = future.get(); //wait for a thread to complete
System.out.println(result);
} catch(ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
executor.shutdown();
}
}Output
