Can someone provide a link??? I searched, and got this link : https://zeroturnaround.com/rebellabs/what-migrating-to-java-8-will-do-to-your-codebase-a-practical-example/ but it doesn't show an example for comparison between jdk 1.6 and 1.8 — N V, Dec 30 '16 at 11:15
The link you posted shows the difference in code between old (pink) and new (green). It is a direct comparison of code using jdk 1.6 versus 1.8. I don't understand what it is missing in terms of what you are looking for. — Klitos Kyriacou, Dec 30 '16 at 14:39

There are many features available in Java 8 and code enhancement that was not available in java 6.

A useful compiler feature that is added in Java 7 is the 'diamond operator'. E.g, instead of typing

ArrayList<Integer> arrInt = new ArrayList<Integer>();

You could just type

ArrayList<Integer> arrInt = new ArrayList<>();

In Java 8 many features are available. For further details you may visit mentioned links
