Java program to check if a number is a perfect square using lambda expression
Java Lambda Program: Exercise-18 with Solution
Write a Java program to implement a lambda expression to check if a given number is a perfect square.
Note: A perfect square is an element of algebraic structure that is equal to the square of another element.
Sample Solution:
Java Code:
import java.util.function.Predicate;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Define the perfect square check lambda expression
Predicate < Integer > isPerfectSquare = n -> {
int sqrt = (int) Math.sqrt(n);
return sqrt * sqrt == n;
};
// Test the lambda expression with some numbers
int N = 36;
boolean result1 = isPerfectSquare.test(N);
System.out.println(N + " is a perfect square? " + result1);
N = 26;
boolean result2 = isPerfectSquare.test(N);
System.out.println(N + " is a perfect square? " + result2);
N = 10000;
boolean result3 = isPerfectSquare.test(N);
System.out.println(N + " is a perfect square? " + result3);
}
}
Sample Output:
36 is a perfect square? true 26 is a perfect square? false 10000 is a perfect square? true
Explanation:
In the above exercise,
- Import the Predicate functional interface.
- In the main method, we define the lambda expression isPerfectSquare, which takes an integer N.
- The lambda expression checks if the square of the square root of n is equal to n. If it is, then N is a perfect square.
- We test the lambda expression by calling the test method with different numbers.
- Finally, we print the results to the console.

How do I remove repeated elements from ArrayList?
If you don't want duplicates in a Collection, you should consider why you're using a Collection that allows duplicates. The easiest way to remove repeated elements is to add the contents to a Set (which will not allow duplicates) and then add the Set back to the ArrayList:
Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(yourList); yourList.clear(); yourList.addAll(set);
Of course, this destroys the ordering of the elements in the ArrayList.
