In Java 8, BinaryOperator is a functional interface and it extends BiFunction. The BinaryOperator takes two arguments of the same type and returns a result of the same type of its arguments. The BiFunction takes two arguments of any type, and returns a result of any type.
In Java 8, BiConsumer is a functional interface – BiConsumer<T, U>; it takes two arguments and returns nothing. Further Reading – Java 8 Consumer Examples 1. BiConsumer JavaBiConsumer1.java Output …
