Prior to Java 8, behavior parameterization was possible with [[Java_Language#Anonymous_Class|anonymous classes]]. In Java 8, functions can be explicitly passed to the API, as parameters, and returned as results.

Overview

Closures and recursion are at the base of the functional programming paradigm.

Java 8 introduced lambda expressions, which allow behavior parameterization and functional programming.
