Class IgnoreLeftFunction<L,R,T>

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.functor.adapter.IgnoreLeftFunction<L,R,T>
Type Parameters:
L - the left argument type.
R - the right argument type.
T - the returned value type.
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, BinaryFunction<L,R,T>, BinaryFunctor<L,R>, Functor
public final class IgnoreLeftFunction<L,R,T> extends Object implements BinaryFunction<L,R,T>, Serializable
Adapts a UnaryFunction to the BinaryFunction interface by ignoring the first binary argument.

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.

      public IgnoreLeftFunction(UnaryFunction<? super R, ? extends T> function)
      Create a new IgnoreLeftFunction.
      Parameters:
      function - UnaryFunction for right argument

  • Method Details

    • evaluate

      public T evaluate(L left, 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 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).

    • equals

      public boolean equals(IgnoreLeftFunction<?,?,?> that)
      Learn whether another IgnoreLeftFunction is equal to this.
      Parameters:
      that - IgnoreLeftFunction 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 Object
      Returns:
      a hash code for this functor

    • 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,T> IgnoreLeftFunction<L,R,T> adapt(UnaryFunction<? super R, ? extends T> function)
      Adapt a UnaryFunction to the BinaryFunction interface.
      Type Parameters:
      L - left type
      R - right type
      T - result type
      Parameters:
      function - to adapt
      Returns:
