Class Or

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.functor.core.composite.BasePredicateList
org.apache.commons.functor.core.composite.Or
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Functor, NullaryFunctor, Predicate
public final class Or extends BasePredicateList
Tests true iff at least one of its children test true. Note that by this definition, the "or" of an empty collection of predicates tests false.

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.

      public Or()
      Create a new Or.

    • Or

      public Or(Iterable<Predicate> predicates)
      Create a new Or instance.
      Parameters:
      predicates - predicates have to be put in or condition.

  • Method Details

    • or

      public Or or(Predicate p)
      Fluently add a Predicate.
      Parameters:
      p - Predicate to add
      Returns:
      this

    • test

      public boolean test()
      Evaluate this predicate.
      Returns:
      the result of this test

    • 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
      Specified by:
      equals in class BasePredicateList
      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(Or that)
      Learn whether another Or is equal to this.
      Parameters:
      that - Or 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
      Specified by:
      hashCode in class BasePredicateList
      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
      Specified by:
      toString in class BasePredicateList
      Returns:
      a human readable description of this functor
