Generic Functional Interfaces and Functional Interface API for Lambda Expressions: Java 8

Lambda expressions come with a standard rule that they can only be assigned to a reference variable which is a Functional Interface i.e. an interface having one and only one abstract method.

As we already know that Lambda Expressions are used to support functional programming in Java. The default behaviour of Lambda expressions is to accept only those interfaces as reference variables which have only one abstract method. We call such interfaces Functional Interfaces. You could also name them as SAM, i.e., Single Abstract...
