Field Detail

INSTANCE

public static final IsSame<Object,Object> INSTANCE

Basic IsSame instance.

Constructor Detail

IsSame

public IsSame()

Create a new IsSame.

Method Detail

test

public boolean test(L left,
                    R right)

Evaluate this predicate.

Specified by:

test in interface BinaryPredicate<L,R>

Parameters:

left - the L element of the ordered pair of arguments

right - the R element of the ordered pair of arguments

Returns:

the result of this test for the given arguments

equals

public boolean equals(Object that)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this functor. This method must adhere to general Object.equals contract. Additionally, this method can return true only if the specified Object implements the same functor interface and is known to produce the same results and/or side-effects for the same arguments (if any).

While implementators are strongly encouraged to override the default Object implementation of this method, note that the default Object implementation does in fact adhere to the functor equals contract.

Specified by:

equals in interface Functor

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

that - the object to compare this functor to

Returns:

true iff the given object implements this functor interface, and is known to produce the same results and/or side-effects for the same arguments (if any).

Functor.hashCode()

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code for this functor adhering to the general Object.hashCode contract. Implementators are strongly encouraged but not strictly required to override the default Object implementation of this method.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Functor

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code for this functor

See Also:

Functor.equals(java.lang.Object)

toString

public String toString()

Returns a human readable description of this functor. Implementators are strongly encouraged but not strictly required to override the default Object implementation of this method.

Specified by:

toString in interface Functor

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a human readable description of this functor

instance

public static <L,R> IsSame<L,R> instance()

Get an IsSame instance.

Type Parameters:

L - the left argument type.

R - the right argument type.

Returns:

IsSame

as

public static <L,R> UnaryPredicate<L> as(R object)

Get an IsSame UnaryPredicate.

Type Parameters:

L - the left argument type.

R - the right argument type.

Parameters:

object - bound comparison object

Returns:

UnaryPredicate
