State whether each of the following is true or false. If false, explain why. a) Lambda expressions

Question:

State whether each of the following is true or false. If false, explain why.
a) Lambda expressions can be used anywhere functional interfaces are expected.

b) Terminal operations are lazy—they perform the requested operation when they are called.

c) Method reduce’s first argument is formally called an identity value—a value that, when combined with a stream element using the IntBinaryOperator, produces the stream element’s original value. For example, when summing the elements, the identity value is 1, and when getting the product of the elements, the identity value is 0.

d) Stream method findFirst is a short-circuiting terminal operation that processes the stream pipeline but terminates processing as soon as an object is found.

e) Stream method flatMap receives a Function that maps a stream into an object. For ex- ample, the object could be a String containing words and the result could be another intermediate Stream for the individual words.

f) When a class implements an interface with default methods and overrides them, the class inherits the default methods’ implementations. An interface’s designer can now evolve an interface by adding new default and static methods without breaking existing code that implements the interface.
