Java 8 Lambda function that throws exception?

Question

I know how to create a reference to a method that has a String parameter and returns an int, it\'s:

Function         


        

Answer 1

I had this problem with Class.forName and Class.newInstance inside a lambda, so I just did:

public Object uncheckedNewInstanceForName (String name) {

    try {
        return Class.forName(name).newInstance();
    }
    catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

Inside the lambda, instead of calling Class.forName("myClass").newInstance() I just called uncheckedNewInstanceForName ("myClass")
