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).

Public Methods
public BiPredicate<T, U> and (BiPredicate<? super T, ? super U> 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 | 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
otherpredicate
Throws
| NullPointerException | if other is null |
|---|
public BiPredicate<T, U> negate ()
Returns a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate.
Returns
- a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate
public BiPredicate<T, U> or (BiPredicate<? super T, ? super U> 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 | 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
otherpredicate
Throws
| NullPointerException | if other is null |
|---|
public abstract boolean test (T t, U u)
Evaluates this predicate on the given arguments.
Parameters
| t | the first input argument |
|---|---|
| u | the second input argument |
Returns
trueif the input arguments match the predicate, otherwisefalse
