Class CompositeUnaryProcedure<A>

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.commons.functor.core.composite.CompositeUnaryProcedure<A>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Functor, UnaryFunctor<A>, UnaryProcedure<A>

public final class CompositeUnaryProcedure<A>
extends Object
implements UnaryProcedure<A>, Serializable

A UnaryProcedure representing the composition of UnaryFunctions, "chaining" the output of one to the input of another. For example,

new CompositeUnaryProcedure(p).of(f)

runs to p.run(f.evaluate(obj)), and

new CompositeUnaryProcedure(p).of(f).of(g)

runs p.run(f.evaluate(g.evaluate(obj))).

Note that although this class implements Serializable, a given instance will only be truly Serializable if all the underlying functors are. Attempts to serialize an instance whose delegates are not all Serializable will result in an exception.

Constructor Detail

CompositeUnaryProcedure

public CompositeUnaryProcedure(UnaryProcedure<? super A> procedure)

Create a new CompositeUnaryProcedure.

Parameters:

procedure - final UnaryProcedure to run

Method Detail

of

public <T> CompositeUnaryProcedure<T> of(UnaryFunction<? super T,? extends A> preceding)

Fluently obtain a CompositeUnaryProcedure that runs our procedure against the result of the preceding function.

Parameters:

preceding - UnaryFunction

Returns:

CompositeUnaryProcedure

run

public void run(A obj)

Execute this procedure.

Specified by:

run in interface UnaryProcedure<A>

Parameters:

obj - an A parameter to this execution

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).

See Also:

Functor.hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(CompositeUnaryProcedure<?> that)

Learn whether another CompositeUnaryProcedure is equal to this.

Parameters:

that - CompositeUnaryProcedure to test

Returns:

boolean

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
