The puzzler practically writes itself. We distinguish:
1. boolean isEmpty(String s) = String::isEmpty;
2. Predicate<String> isEmpty = String::isEmpty;
3. Predicate<String> isEmpty(String s) -> String::isEmpty;
1. Method declaration, using method reference form.
2. Field declaration, initialized with a method reference exprssion.
3. Method declaration, using single expression form.
