- the type of the input to the functionR
- the type of the result of the function@FunctionalInterfacepublic interfaceFunction<T,R>
This is afunctional interface whose functional method isapply(Object)
.
Modifier and Type | Method | Description |
---|---|---|
default <V> Function<T,V> | andThen(Function<? superR,? extends V> after) | Returns a composed function that first applies this function to its input, and then applies the after function to the result. |
R | apply(T t) | Applies this function to the given argument. |
default <V> Function<V,R> | compose(Function<? super V,? extendsT> before) | Returns a composed function that first applies the before function to its input, and then applies this function to the result. |
static <T> Function<T,T> | identity() | Returns a function that always returns its input argument. |
