Method Detail

safeDefault

@Nonnull
public static <T,R> Function<T,R> safeDefault(@Nullable
                                                       Function<T,R> func)

Returns a default function if the argument is null. The default function's Function#apply(Object) apply method will always return null. If a non-null function is passed to this method, it is returned as-is.

Parameters:

func - the function reference (may be null)

Returns:

a non-null object identical to the passed function, if it is non-null, or a function object always returning null otherwise

safeDefault

@Nonnull
public static <R> IntFunction<R> safeDefault(@Nullable
                                                      IntFunction<R> func)

Returns a default function if the argument is null. The default function's apply method will always return null. If a non-null function is passed to this method, it is returned as-is.

Parameters:

func - the function reference (may be null)

Returns:

a non-null object identical to the passed function, if it is non-null, or a function object always returning null otherwise
