Java's Stream API is the closest thing to .NET's LINQ, in the sense that it allows you to query/manipulate collections in a functional style.

No, lambda expressions are not LINQ equivalent. LINQ (at least parts of it) uses lamba expressions for some functionality. But they're fundamentally different things.

Lambda expressions: expressions used as anonymous functions
LINQ: Language integrated query.

Can you provide some more explanation as to why they are different? Their syntax looks very similar. – Quazi Irfan May 17 '18 at 07:41
