How can I store a method in a variable in Java 8?

Question

Is it possible to store a method into a variable? Something like

 public void store() {
     SomeClass foo = ;
     //...
     String          


        

Answer 1

You can use method reference like -

System.out::println  

Which is equivalent to the lambda expression -

x -> System.out.println(x).  

Moreover you can user reflection to store method and it will works for the earlier version of java too.
