Class BinarySequence<L,​R>

  • Type Parameters:
    L - the procedure left argument type.
    R - the procedure right argument type.
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, BinaryFunctor<L,​R>, BinaryProcedure<L,​R>, Functor

    public class BinarySequence<L,​R>
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements BinaryProcedure<L,​R>, java.io.Serializable
    A BinaryProcedure that runs an ordered sequence of BinaryProcedures. When the sequence is empty, this procedure is does nothing.

    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.

        Specified by:
        run in interface BinaryProcedure<L,​R>

      • equals

        public final 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 final boolean equals​(BinarySequence<?,​?> that)

        Parameters:
        that - BinarySequence 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.

        hashCode in interface Functor
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        a hash code for this functor
