interface
Predicate
| java.util.function.Predicate |
Represents a predicate (boolean-valued function) of one argument.
This is a functional interface
whose functional method is test(java.lang.Object).
Summary

negate()
Returns a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate. |

not(Predicate target)
Returns a predicate that is the negation of the supplied predicate. |

or(Predicate other)
Returns a composed predicate that represents a short-circuiting logical OR of this predicate and another. |

test(T t)
Evaluates this predicate on the given argument. |
Public methods
and
public Predicateand (Predicate other)
Returns a composed predicate that represents a short-circuiting logical
AND of this predicate and another. When evaluating the composed
predicate, if this predicate is false, then the other
predicate is not evaluated.
Any exceptions thrown during evaluation of either predicate are relayed
to the caller; if evaluation of this predicate throws an exception, the
other predicate will not be evaluated.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
other |
Predicate: a predicate that will be logically-ANDed with this
predicate |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Predicate |
a composed predicate that represents the short-circuiting logical
AND of this predicate and the other predicate |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
NullPointerException |
if other is null |
isEqual
public static PredicateisEqual (Object targetRef)
Returns a predicate that tests if two arguments are equal according
to Objects.equals(Object, Object).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
targetRef |
Object: the object reference with which to compare for equality,
which may be null |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Predicate |
a predicate that tests if two arguments are equal according
to Objects.equals(Object, Object) |
negate
public Predicatenegate ()
Returns a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Predicate |
a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate |
not
public static Predicatenot (Predicate target)
Returns a predicate that is the negation of the supplied predicate.
This is accomplished by returning result of the calling
target.negate().
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
target |
Predicate: predicate to negate |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Predicate |
a predicate that negates the results of the supplied predicate |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
NullPointerException |
if target is null |
or
public Predicateor (Predicate other)
Returns a composed predicate that represents a short-circuiting logical
OR of this predicate and another. When evaluating the composed
predicate, if this predicate is true, then the other
predicate is not evaluated.
Any exceptions thrown during evaluation of either predicate are relayed
to the caller; if evaluation of this predicate throws an exception, the
other predicate will not be evaluated.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
other |
Predicate: a predicate that will be logically-ORed with this
predicate |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Predicate |
a composed predicate that represents the short-circuiting logical
OR of this predicate and the other predicate |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
NullPointerException |
if other is null |
test
public abstract boolean test (T t)
Evaluates this predicate on the given argument.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
t |
T: the input argument |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean |
true if the input argument matches the predicate,
otherwise false |
