Field Detail

INSTANCE

public static final IsNotNull<Object> INSTANCE

Basic IsNotNull instance.

LEFT

public static final BinaryPredicate<Object,Object> LEFT

Left-handed BinaryPredicate.

RIGHT

public static final BinaryPredicate<Object,Object> RIGHT

Right-handed BinaryPredicate.

Constructor Detail

IsNotNull

public IsNotNull()

Create a new IsNotNull.

Method Detail

test

public boolean test(Object obj)

Evaluate this predicate.

Specified by:

test in interface UnaryPredicate<T>

Parameters:

obj - the A object to test

Returns:

the result of this test

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 <T> IsNotNull<T> instance()

Get an IsNotNull instance.

Type Parameters:

T - the predicate argument type.

Returns:

IsNotNull

left

public static <A> BinaryPredicate<A,Object> left()

Get a BinaryPredicate that matches if the left argument is not null.

Type Parameters:

A - the left BinaryPredicate argument type.

Returns:

BinaryPredicate

right

public static <A> BinaryPredicate<Object,A> right()

Get a BinaryPredicate that matches if the right argument is null.

Type Parameters:

A - the right BinaryPredicate argument type.

Returns:

BinaryPredicate
