Callable (Java Platform SE 8 )

Type Parameters:

V - the result type of method call

All Known Subinterfaces:

DocumentationTool.DocumentationTask, JavaCompiler.CompilationTask

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
```
@FunctionalInterface
public interface Callable<V>
```
A task that returns a result and may throw an exception. Implementors define a single method with no arguments called call.
The Callable interface is similar to Runnable, in that both are designed for classes whose instances are potentially executed by another thread. A Runnable, however, does not return a result and cannot throw a checked exception.
The Executors class contains utility methods to convert from other common forms to Callable classes.
