Learn about Consumer Functional Interface in Java
Java 8 introduces a new package containing Functional Interfaces called java.util.function. In this package, we have many interfaces like Consumer, Supplier, Predicate, … In this tutorial, we will learn about Consumer Functional Interface. The content of this interface is as follows:
