Interface UnaryOperator<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of the operand and result of the operator
    All Superinterfaces:
    Function<T,T>
    Functional Interface:
    This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.


    @FunctionalInterface
    public interface UnaryOperator<T>
    extends Function<T,T>
    Represents an operation on a single operand that produces a result of the same type as its operand. This is a specialization of Function for the case where the operand and result are of the same type.

    This is a functional interface whose functional method is Function.apply(Object).
