The “import java.util.function cannot be resolved” error

Question

I\'m trying to run this practice script from the standard Oracle Java tutorials.

This seems to be a common error and I\'ve used SO resources to make attempts to fix

Answer 1

Per the java.util.function Javadoc,

Since:
      1.8

So upgrade to Java 8, or try to find an older version of the tutorial.

I'm new at this. How can you tell what you are running? I'm using Eclipse

To determine your current Java version in eclipse, go to

Help -> About Eclipse -> Installation Details (Button in
          lower Left) -> Configuration pane

Look for the line java.specification.version - on my machine that is

java.specification.version=1.8

Or the line java.runtime.version - on my machine that is

java.runtime.version=1.8.0_11-b12
