package com.codeFactory.methodAndConstructorReference;

class Sample {
	Sample() {
		System.out.println("Sample.Sample()");
	}
}

interface Interf {
	public Sample get();
}

// Using Lambda Expression
public class Test {
	public static void main(String... args) {
		Interf i = () -> {
			return new Sample();
		};
		Sample s = i.get();
	}
}

// Using Constructor Reference
public class Test {
	public static void main(String... args) {
		Interf i = Sample::new;
		Sample s = i.get();
	}
}

Output :

Sample.Sample()

Syntax for Constructor Reference :

• classname :: new
• e.g. Sample :: new
