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.
Behavior Parameterization
Prior to Java 8, behavior parameterization was possible with anonymous classes. In Java 8, functions can be explicitly passed to the API, as parameters, and returned as results.
