I have a few predicates that I want to put in a list so I can then call stream().noneMatch() on my list. I successfully did this by creating named Predicates but how can I create them within an Arrays.asList()'s argument list?
Here's the working code that I'd like to convert:
ArrayList<Predicate<MyClass>> checks = new ArrayList<>();
Predicate<MyClass> isCond1 = myClassHelper::isCond1;
Predicate<MyClass> isCond2 = myClassHelper::isCond2;
checks.add(isCond1);
checks.add(isCond2);
I'd expect the result of the conversion to look something like this:
List<Predicate> checks = Arrays.asList(myClassHelper::isCond1, myClassHelper::isCond2);
or
List<Predicate> checks = Arrays.asList(a -> myClassHelper::isCond1, a -> myClassHelper::isCond2);
(neither of these are correct)
Where can I specify the argument for the conditions here?
Sorry if this could have been titled better, I always struggle with that.
CodePudding user response:
The first statement should work but you forgot to specify the predicate type Predicate<MyClass>
, otherwise the compiler cannot infer it from the method references:
List<Predicate<MyClass>> checks2 = Arrays.asList(myClassHelper::isCond1, myClassHelper::isCond2);
Or using lambdas:
List<Predicate<MyClass>> checks3 = Arrays.asList(a -> myClassHelper.isCond1(a), a -> myClassHelper.isCond2(a));
