Java “lambda expressions are not supported at this language level”

2.3K Asked by krishMishra in Java , Asked on Apr 7, 2021

I was testing some new features of Java 8 and copied the example into my IDE (Eclipse originally, then IntelliJ) as shown here

Eclipse offered no support for lambda expressions, and IntelliJ kept reporting an error

“Lambda expressions are not supported at this language level”

I want to know if this is a problem with my install, the code, or support.
