Class FunctionProcedure

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Runnable, Functor, NullaryFunctor, Procedure

    public final class FunctionProcedure
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Procedure, java.io.Serializable
    Adapts a Function to the Procedure 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.

      • run

        public void run()
        Execute this procedure. Evaluate my function, but ignore its returned value.
        Specified by:
        run in interface Procedure
        Specified by:
        run in interface java.lang.Runnable
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.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 java.lang.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).

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(FunctionProcedure that)
        Learn whether another FunctionProcedure is equal to this.
        Parameters:
        that - FunctionProcedure 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 java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        a hash code for this functor

      • toString

        public java.lang.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 java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        a human readable description of this functor
      • adapt

        public static FunctionProcedure adapt​(Function<?> function)
        Adapt the given, possibly-null, Function to the Procedure interface. When the given Function is null, returns null.
        Parameters:
        function - the possibly-null Function to adapt
        Returns:
        a Procedure wrapping the given Function, or null if the given Function is null
