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

public Predicate<T> and (Predicate<? super T> 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<T> | a composed predicate that represents the short-circuiting logical
 AND of this predicate and the otherpredicate | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| NullPointerException | if other is null | 
public static Predicate<T> isEqual (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 benull | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Predicate<T> | a predicate that tests if two arguments are equal according
 to Objects#equals(Object, Object) | 
public Predicate<T> negate ()
Returns a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Predicate<T> | a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate | 
public Predicate<T> or (Predicate<? super T> 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<T> | a composed predicate that represents the short-circuiting logical
 OR of this predicate and the otherpredicate | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| NullPointerException | if other is null | 
public abstract boolean test (T t)
Evaluates this predicate on the given argument.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| t | T: the input argument | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | trueif the input argument matches the predicate,
 otherwisefalse |
