Interface Consumer<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of the input to the operation
    All Known Subinterfaces:
    Stream.Builder<T>
    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 Consumer<T>
    Represents an operation that accepts a single input argument and returns no result. Unlike most other functional interfaces, Consumer is expected to operate via side-effects.

    This is a functional interface whose functional method is accept(Object).

    Since:
    1.8
