T
- the type of the operands and result of the operator
@FunctionalInterface public interface BinaryOperator<T> extends BiFunction<T,T,T>
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
BiFunction
for the case where the operands and the result are all of the same type.
This is a functional interface whose functional method is BiFunction.apply(Object, Object)
.
