- the right element typepublic final class ImmutablePair<L,R> extends Pair<L,R>
An immutable pair consisting of two Object
elements.
Although the implementation is immutable, there is no restriction on the objects
that may be stored. If mutable objects are stored in the pair, then the pair
itself effectively becomes mutable. The class is also final
, so a subclass
can not add undesirable behaviour.

Creates an immutable pair of two objects inferring the generic types.
This factory allows the pair to be created using inference to obtain the generic types.

Gets the left element from this pair.
When treated as a key-value pair, this is the key.
public R getRight()
Gets the right element from this pair.
When treated as a key-value pair, this is the value.
public R setValue(R value)
Throws UnsupportedOperationException
.
This pair is immutable, so this operation is not supported.
