It doesn't have an explicit delegate keyword as C#, but you can achieve similar in Java 8 by using a functional interface (i.e. any interface with exactly one method) and lambda:
private interface SingleFunc {
void printMe();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SingleFunc sf = () -> {
System.out.println("Hello, I am a simple single func.");
};
SingleFunc sfComplex = () -> {
System.out.println("Hello, I am a COMPLEX single func.");
};
delegate(sf);
delegate(sfComplex);
}
private static void delegate(SingleFunc f) {
f.printMe();
}
Every new object of type SingleFunc must implement printMe(), so it is safe to pass it to another method (e.g. delegate(SingleFunc)) to call the printMe() method.
