Out of all the above programming paradigms, we will learn about Functional programming and why it got introduced in Java 8.
We will also discuss the topics where Object-Oriented falls short and how functional programming steps in and chimes.
Note: Java supports both object-oriented and functional programming.
Java 8 introduced developers to functional programming with lambda expressions, Streams API, and much more!

Now, can we say Java supports multi-paradigm? Yes!! 🤩 Java supports multi-paradigm such as - generic, object-oriented, functional, imperative, reflective, concurrent, etc.
