Class TransposedFunction<L,​R,​T>

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

    public class TransposedFunction<L,​R,​T>
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements BinaryFunction<L,​R,​T>, java.io.Serializable
    Transposes (swaps) the arguments to some other function. For example, given a function f and the ordered pair of arguments a, b. evaluates to f.evaluate(b,a).

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

                                R right)
        Evaluate this function.
        Specified by:
        evaluate in interface BinaryFunction<L,​R,​T>
        Parameters:
        left - the L element of the ordered pair of arguments
        right - the R element of the ordered pair of arguments
        Returns:
        the T result of this function for the given arguments
      • 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​(TransposedFunction<?,​?,​?> that)
        Learn whether another TransposedFunction is equal to this.
        Parameters:
        that - TransposedFunction 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
