Package eu.ciechanowiec.sneakyfun

Interface SneakyBinaryOperator<T,X extends Exception>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the operands and result of the operator

X - the type of exception that might be thrown during execution of the functional method of this interface

All Superinterfaces:

SneakyBiFunction<T,T,T,X>

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 SneakyBinaryOperator<T,X extends Exception>
extends SneakyBiFunction<T,T,T,X>

Represents an operation upon two operands of the same type, producing a result of the same type as the operands. This is a specialization of SneakyBiFunction for the case where the operands and the result are all of the same type.

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

Method Detail

sneaky

static <T,X extends Exception> BinaryOperator<T> sneaky(SneakyBinaryOperator<T,X> binaryOperator)

Wraps the passed sneaky functional interface (sneaky interface) into the analogous functional interface from the java.util.function package (original interface).

1. Both the wrapped sneaky interface and the wrapping original interface have unary functional methods with identical method signatures and return types (if any). The only relevant difference between the unary functional methods of those interfaces is that the functional method of the sneaky interface has a throws clause with a denoted exception, while the functional method of the original interface doesn't have it.

   For example, compare these two functional method declarations:

      // Functional method of the original interface `Function`:
         R apply(T t);
   
      // Functional method of the sneaky interface `SneakyFunction`:
         R apply(T input) throws X;
      

2. A throws clause in the unary functional method of the wrapped sneaky interface allows to develop elegant lambda expressions via disabling enforcement of checked exceptions handling. To achieve that, simply wrap implementation of a lambda expression into a static sneaky(...) method declared in the respective sneaky interface, as shown in the examples below.
3. Example - Outside Streams
   1. Classical & unsightly approach:

         Function toURI = input -> {
           try {
               return new URI(input);
           } catch (URISyntaxException exception) {
               log.error("Unable to create a URI", exception);
               return null;
           }
         };
         URI uri = toURI.apply("google.com");
         

   2. Sneaky & elegant approach:

         SneakyFunction toURI = URI::new;
         Function toURIAdapter = sneaky(toURI);
         URI uri = toURIAdapter.apply("google.com");
         

4. Example - In Streams
   1. Classical & unsightly approach:

         List rawURIs = List.of("google.com", "ciechanowiec.eu");
         List pureURIs = rawURIs.stream()
                                .map(rawURI -> {
                                    try {
                                        return new URI(rawURI);
                                    } catch (URISyntaxException exception) {
                                        log.error("Unable to create a URI", exception);
                                        return null;
                                    }
                                })
                                .toList();
         

   2. Sneaky & elegant approach:

         List rawURIs = List.of("google.com", "ciechanowiec.eu");
         List pureURIs = rawURIs.stream()
                                .map(sneaky(URI::new))
                                .toList();
