Method Detail
apply
R apply(T t)
Applies this function to the given argument.- Parameters:
-
t
- the function argument - Returns:
- the function result
compose
default <V> Function<V,R> compose(Function<? super V,? extends T> before)
Returns a composed function that first applies thebefore
function to its input, and then applies this function to the result. If evaluation of either function throws an exception, it is relayed to the caller of the composed function.- Type Parameters:
-
V
- the type of input to thebefore
function, and to the composed function - Parameters:
-
before
- the function to apply before this function is applied - Returns:
-
a composed function that first applies the
before
function and then applies this function - Throws:
-
NullPointerException
- if before is null - See Also:
-
andThen(Function)
andThen
default <V> Function<T,V> andThen(Function<? super R,? extends V> after)
Returns a composed function that first applies this function to its input, and then applies theafter
function to the result. If evaluation of either function throws an exception, it is relayed to the caller of the composed function.- Type Parameters:
-
V
- the type of output of theafter
function, and of the composed function - Parameters:
-
after
- the function to apply after this function is applied - Returns:
-
a composed function that first applies this function and then applies the
after
function - Throws:
-
NullPointerException
- if after is null - See Also:
-
compose(Function)
identity
static <T> Function<T,T> identity()
Returns a function that always returns its input argument.- Type Parameters:
-
T
- the type of the input and output objects to the function - Returns:
- a function that always returns its input argument
