Java 8 LongSupplier explained with code samples
In this blog post, I will be explaining how the Java 8 functional interface LongSupplier works. To know more about functional interfaces, you can refer this blog post. Edit The LongSupplier interface provides a method called getAsLong. This method does not accept any arguments. It returns a Long data type. The LongSupplier interface is a specialization of the Supplier interface that returns an Long. To see an example of the Supplier interface, refer to this blog post. LongSupplier example Consider the following code snippet: LongSupplier getRandom = () -> new Random().nextLong();System.out.println("Random number 1 = "+getRandom.getAsLong());System.out.println("Random number 2 = "+getRandom.getAsLong()); Here, we have implemented the LongSupplier.getAsLong method using a lambda expression. This getAsLong method simple returns a random integer less than 100. So when this code is executed, it will print output similar to the following: Random number 1 ...
