you're the best teacher to teach any concept like a pro, Thank you so much for these sessions. and providing it for free.

[bipinsingh]

Abhliash i have seen many youtube channel but one think i want to say u are the best and u explain everyconcept verywell with code

[lakshmojiseemakurthi]

It's like a twist buster at the end, you have mentioned it would work only static and method arguments should match, but the end it it worked with String::UpperCase, which creates an enthusiasm on how it worked.

I've watched many videos on the Stream API, but none have been as clear as this one. Your teaching skills and explanations are excellent. Thank you for sharing such fantastic content.😇😇

[keerthanashiyam]

That was an awesome explanation. I have read articles about method references but I understood it after watching this video only. Thank you for the video. 👏

[prasoonmishra]

Bro your videos is really awesome. Very premium content

[asifshaikh]

Its very helpful brother, I need deep knowledge of exceptions and multi threading is so helpful for us if you make videos on this 2 topic

[rahulbhatanagar]

Loved your way of explanation. You are really a great teacher😍😇

[MalobikaNandy]

Thanks a lot!! Was eagerly waiting for this. It feels like I can understand most of the things if you explain it. 👍👍

[villagesoftwareengineer]

Haha, I've been using method-reference, but the light bulb just turned on! 😂😂😂😂

@SeleniumExpress
I've been following this series and the content is incredibly detailed. In the third video, you introduced parallel streams, so I was expecting the next video to cover that topic. However, the latest video is on method references, which feels like a break in the flow. When will you be uploading the video on parallel streams?

[depthprogramming]

Hi avi your content is awesome how to by you course from Pakistan

[santhoshchandran]

Can we expect Parallel stream next week?

[ajaysubramaniam]

Learned a lot. Big fan of your content! I have a question about method references. The main purpose seems to be code reuse. Since the methods already exist, why not just call them directly using the class name or object? For instance, instead of using a method reference like Collections::sort with an interface variable, we could just use Collections.sort() wherever needed. What specific advantages do method references offer?

[vijaykorke]

Bro, where had you from last few months? We are waiting for you videos on java..

[prabhakarpn]

Please continue core java concepts abhilash
