Return method reference

Question

I am playing around in Java 8. How can I return a method reference?

I am able to return a lambda but not the method reference.

My attempts:

p         


        

Answer 1

I would like to add some points.

You can't instantiate unbounded type instance.

List list = new ArrayList();

Second, as Tunaki mentioned, you can't make references to new MyObject::staticMethod when you make method references

The other thing is, forEach(Consumer consumer) (Terminal operation for pipeline streams) doesn't return anything. It only eats whatever we feed it.

-Hope this may help :)
