Annotations
@SuppressWarnings:unchecked
ofback to summary
public static <R> Function0<R> of(Function0<R> methodReference)

Creates a Function0 based on

Examples (w.l.o.g. referring to Function1):
// using a lambda expression
Function1<Integer, Integer> add1 = Function1.of(i -> i + 1);

// using a method reference (, e.g. Integer method(Integer i) { return i + 1; })
Function1<Integer, Integer> add2 = Function1.of(this::method);

// using a lambda reference
Function1<Integer, Integer> add3 = Function1.of(add1::apply);

Caution

Reflection loses type information of lambda references.

// type of a lambda expression
Type<?, ?> type1 = add1.getType(); // (Integer) -> Integer

// type of a method reference
Type<?, ?> type2 = add2.getType(); // (Integer) -> Integer

// type of a lambda reference
Type<?, ?> type3 = add3.getType(); // (Object) -> Object
Parameters
<R>
return type
methodReference:Function0<R>

(typically) a method reference, e.g. Type::method

Returns:Function0<R>

a Function0

reversedback to summary
