- Type Parameters:
T
- the type of the first argument to the predicateU
- the type of the second argument the predicate
- Functional Interface:
- This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
Represents a predicate (boolean-valued function) of two arguments. This is
the two-arity specialization of
Predicate
.
This is a functional interface
whose functional method is test(Object, Object)
.

test
-
and
Returns a composed predicate that represents a short-circuiting logical AND of this predicate and another. When evaluating the composed predicate, if this predicate isfalse
, then theother
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
- a predicate that will be logically-ANDed with this predicate- Returns:
- a composed predicate that represents the short-circuiting logical
AND of this predicate and the
other
predicate - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if other is null
-
negate
Returns a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate.- Returns:
- a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate
-
or
Returns a composed predicate that represents a short-circuiting logical OR of this predicate and another. When evaluating the composed predicate, if this predicate istrue
, then theother
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
- a predicate that will be logically-ORed with this predicate- Returns:
- a composed predicate that represents the short-circuiting logical
OR of this predicate and the
other
predicate - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if other is null
