The DoublePredicate interface was introduced in JDK 8. This interface is packaged in java.util.function package. It operates on a Double object and returns a predicate value based on a condition. It is a functional interface and thus can be used in lambda expression also.
public interface DoublePredicate
Methods
- test(): This function evaluates a conditional check on the double value, and returns a boolean value denoting the outcome.
boolean test(double value)
- and(): This function applies the AND operation on the current object and the object received as argument, and returns the newly formed predicate. This method has a default implementation.
default DoublePredicate and(DoublePredicate other)
- negate(): This function returns the inverse of the current predicate i.e reverses the test condition. This method has a default implementation.
default DoublePredicate negate()
- or(): This function applies the OR operation on the current object and the object received as argument, and returns the newly formed predicate. This method has a default implementation.
default DoublePredicate or(DoublePredicate other)
Example:
// Java example to demonstrate DoublePredicate interface
import java.util.function.DoublePredicate;
public class DoublePredicateDemo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// DoublePredicate to check square
// of x is less than 100
DoublePredicate db
= (x) -> { return x * x < 100.0; };
System.out.println("100 is less than 100 "
+ db.test(10));
DoublePredicate db3;
// Test condition reversed
db.negate();
System.out.println("100 is greater than 100 "
+ db.test(10));
DoublePredicate db2 = (x) ->
{
double y = x * x;
return y >= 36 && y < 1000;
};
// Test condition ANDed
// with another predicate
db3 = db.and(db2);
System.out.println("81 is less than 100 "
+ db3.test(9));
db3 = db.or(db2);
// Test condition ORed with another predicate
System.out.println("49 is greater than 36"
+ " and less than 100 "
+ db3.test(7));
}
}
// Java example to demonstrate DoublePredicate interfaceimport java.util.function.DoublePredicate;public class DoublePredicateDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // DoublePredicate to check square // of x is less than 100 DoublePredicate db = (x) -> { return x * x < 100.0; }; System.out.println("100 is less than 100 " + db.test(10)); DoublePredicate db3; // Test condition reversed db.negate(); System.out.println("100 is greater than 100 " + db.test(10)); DoublePredicate db2 = (x) -> { double y = x * x; return y >= 36 && y < 1000; }; // Test condition ANDed // with another predicate db3 = db.and(db2); System.out.println("81 is less than 100 " + db3.test(9)); db3 = db.or(db2); // Test condition ORed with another predicate System.out.println("49 is greater than 36" + " and less than 100 " + db3.test(7)); }}Output:
100 is less than 100 false 100 is greater than 100 false 81 is less than 100 true 49 is greater than 36 and less than 100 true
