Does the new edition have Java 8 syntax

Hi!
I am using version 1.5.9 and it uses Java 7 style syntax for all the solutions.
I am wondering if the new edition has solutions with Java 8 syntax?

The github repo also used Java 7 syntax.

github.com

epibook/epibook.github.io/blob/master/solutions/java/MergeSortedArrays.java

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.PriorityQueue;
import java.util.Random;

public class MergeSortedArrays {
  // @include
  private static class ArrayEntry {
    public Integer value;
    public Integer arrayId;

    public ArrayEntry(Integer value, Integer arrayId) {
      this.value = value;
      this.arrayId = arrayId;
    }
  }

Thanks.

Hi @KrishV,

Please check http://epijudge.com/ for the latest solution as we are moving to this testing framework for our readers.

Thanks.
Which version does the latest copy of the book has? Would it have Java 8 style declaration(for some common ones like comparators (x,y) -> x-y)

The latest copy of the book shall have that as far as I know. We are moving to Java 9 syntax in the solutions recently (e.g., List.of).
