A lambda expression is a feature introduced in Java 8 that allows you to write short

and concise code. It's essentially a way to express an instance of a functional


interface (an interface with only one abstract method) in a more compact form.
Lambda expressions are often used for implementing the Comparator interface or
any functional interfaces.

In the example above, (int a, int b) represents the parameters, and a + b is the
expression that is executed when the lambda expression is invoked.
Uses:
 Lambda expressions simplify the syntax for functional programming.
 They're used for writing short blocks of code that can be passed around (like
sorting, filtering, or mapping).
 It allows writing inline implementation of functional interfaces, like Runnable,
ActionListener, or Comparator.
Comparator in Java

The Comparator interface in Java is used to define a custom comparison


logic for objects. It allows sorting objects in an order other than their natural
order (which is defined by the Comparable interface).
