Benefits of Lambda Programming
Lambda expressions are nothing but a simpler way to implement single method interfaces.
Lambda expressions are not bound to any identifier. They may be used to create the result of a higher order function or maybe used as arguments to pass further on to any higher order functions.
For your kind information, higher order functions are functions which either return a function as their result or take one or more functions as their arguments.This function is supported in many programming languages. Lambda expressions are also called anonymous expressions.These functions are called so because they don't actually have a name. Mind you that lambda is actually not the name of the function but actually a keyword used that indicates that what follows next is an anonymous function.
Below are the major benefits of Lambda functions
3.They are also used as wrapppers with Python Decorators.
6.Using lambda expressions makes the code more readable.
7.There is no potential for variable shadowing with lambda expressions, eliminating a major downside when using inner classes. Even inner classes create a new .class file when the application is packaged and deployed.This problem however doesn't pop up in case of lambda expressions for they provide opportunity to reuse as lambda expressions can be assigned to a variable, which isn't possible with anonymous inner classes.
8. Lambda functions have access to variables from enclosing scope and thus can be more powerful than any ordinary function. (particulary in C++11)
9. There is no document or string name required.
10.An anonymous inner class allows developers to define and implement a functional interface at the particular location in the code where it is needed. Anonymous inner classes are much better than creating separate implementing classes. They also make troubleshooting and long term maintenance as they allow the implementing code to be written at the location in which the code is used.

Below are the major benefits of Lambda functions
1. Lambda functions help in making concise code. Although we can go without lambda expressions too but there are situations where it makes writing code easier and bit cleaner.
2.They help in creating inline functions which are really helpful in coding. However, since most lambda functions are candidates for inlining since they have local scope and are small thus need no added storage for references.3.They are also used as wrapppers with Python Decorators.
4.Lambda functions can be passed around as if it were an object and be executed.With lambda expressions aims to minimize the drawbacks to using a single class or anonymous inner class while interpreting a functional interface.
5.In Java 8 using Stream API and lambda we can achieve higher efficiency in case of bulk operations.6.Using lambda expressions makes the code more readable.
