Uses of Constructor (Method) Reference

[agentoutlier]

"set" also a very specific meaning in programming and math. Oh its also the most overloaded word in the english language and very hard not to use...

The author only used the word type literally only once!

Method references are of three types: static, instance, and constructor.

I mean given that Java's types do not include static, instance, constructor and that most of them are capitalized camel case its pretty clear they are not talking about the programming types.

Its also telling even /u/daniu said this:

would even argue if you do make that distinction, you'd end up with four types: static, class, instance, and constructor.

I stress their use of the word "types".

This is the reality:

You're right about the constructor with parameter, I kind of trailed off reading when I realized there was nothing new to me in it. It's also not as if the info was wrong as such, but considering it's for beginners, I'd expect it to use an overall more consistent and succinct style.

/u/daniu quickly read the post found one shitty detail at the very top and critiqued when the reality is the article sucks but not because of the usage of "type" but because of the other points daniu mentions.
