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
other
predicate
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
other
predicate
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
true
if the input arguments match the predicate, otherwisefalse
