What is the scope of use of Java Lambda

1. Access local variables

You can access the final local variables outside the lambda expression:

final int num = 1;
Converter stringConverter =
        (from) -> String.valueOf(from + num);
 
stringConverter.convert(2);     // 3

But unlike anonymous objects, the variable num does not It needs to be final. Attempting to change the value of num inside a lambda expression is also not allowed.

2. Accessing member variables and static variables

Unlike local variables, we can get access to read and write member variables or static variables inside the lambda expression right. This access behavior is very typical for anonymous objects.

class Lambda4 {
    static int outerStaticNum;
    int outerNum;
 
    void testScopes() {
        Converter stringConverter1 = (from) -> {
            outerNum = 23;
            return String.valueOf(from);
        };
 
        Converter stringConverter2 = (from) -> {
            outerStaticNum = 72;
            return String.valueOf(from);
        };
    }
}
