     A lambda expression can be of any type, including void.

     Your questions about lambdas are rather elementary, and suggest
that you've picked up some incomplete or even erroneous information
about them.  I strongly suggest you engage in some study on your own
before going much further.  A good place to start is

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/lambdaexpressions.html

     There you will find many examples  of lambdas that yield booleans,
but also of lambdas that yield other types and of void lambdas.

     ... and if the Tutorial leaves something unanswered, many of your
questions can be resolved with the Try It For Yourself algorithm ...
