/**
 * Legacy version of {@link java.util.function.Function java.util.function.Function}.
 *
 * 

The {@link Functions} class provides common functions and related utilities. * *

As this interface extends {@code java.util.function.Function}, an instance of this type can be * used as a {@code java.util.function.Function} directly. To use a {@code * java.util.function.Function} in a context where a {@code com.google.common.base.Function} is * needed, use {@code function::apply}. * *

This interface is now a legacy type. Use {@code java.util.function.Function} (or the * appropriate primitive specialization such as {@code ToIntFunction}) instead whenever possible. * Otherwise, at least reduce explicit dependencies on this type by using lambda expressions * or method references instead of classes, leaving your code easier to migrate in the future. * *

See the Guava User Guide article on the use of {@code Function}. * * @author Kevin Bourrillion * @since 2.0 */ @GwtCompatible @FunctionalInterface @ElementTypesAreNonnullByDefault public interface Function extends java.util.function.Function { @Override @ParametricNullness T apply(@ParametricNullness F input); /** * May return {@code true} if {@code object} is a {@code Function} that behaves identically * to this function. * *

Warning: do not depend on the behavior of this method. * *

Historically, {@code Function} instances in this library have implemented this method to * recognize certain cases where distinct {@code Function} instances would in fact behave * identically. However, as code migrates to {@code java.util.function}, that behavior will * disappear. It is best not to depend on it. */ @Override boolean equals(@CheckForNull Object object); }
