Yes, I have experience working with functional concepts in Java. Specifically, starting from Java 8, lambda expressions and the Stream API were introduced, which allow writing code in a functional style.
For example, you can use lambdas to process collections:
List<String> names = Arrays.asList("Anna", "Bob", "Charlie");
// Filtering and transforming a list using the Stream API
List<String> filtered = names.stream()
.filter(name -> name.startsWith("A"))
.map(String::toUpperCase)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(filtered); // [ANNA]
Higher-order functions, immutability of data, and the absence of side effects are also applied, which improve code readability and testability.
