Class BinaryFunctionBinaryProcedure<L,R>

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.commons.functor.adapter.BinaryFunctionBinaryProcedure<L,R>

Type Parameters:

L - the left argument type.

R - the right argument type.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, BinaryFunctor<L,R>, BinaryProcedure<L,R>, Functor

public final class BinaryFunctionBinaryProcedure<L,R>
extends Object
implements BinaryProcedure<L,R>, Serializable

Adapts a BinaryFunction to the BinaryProcedure interface by ignoring the value returned by the function.

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

Constructor Detail

BinaryFunctionBinaryProcedure

public BinaryFunctionBinaryProcedure(BinaryFunction<? super L,? super R,?> function)

Create an BinaryProcedure wrapping the given BinaryFunction.

Parameters:

function - the BinaryFunction to wrap

Method Detail

run

public void run(L left,
                R right)

Evaluate my function, but ignore its returned value. Execute this procedure.

Specified by:

run in interface BinaryProcedure<L,R>

Parameters:

left - the L element of the ordered pair of arguments

right - the R element of the ordered pair of 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).

See Also:

Functor.hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(BinaryFunctionBinaryProcedure<?,?> that)

Learn whether a given BinaryFunctionBinaryPredicate is equal to this.

Parameters:

that - BinaryFunctionBinaryPredicate to compare

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

adapt

public static <L,R> BinaryFunctionBinaryProcedure<L,R> adapt(BinaryFunction<? super L,? super R,?> function)

Adapt the given, possibly-null, BinaryFunction to the BinaryProcedure interface. When the given BinaryFunction is null, returns null.

Type Parameters:

L - left type

R - right type

Parameters:

function - the possibly-null BinaryFunction to adapt

Returns:

a BinaryFunctionBinaryProcedure wrapping the given BinaryFunction, or null if the given BinaryFunction is null
