In this tutorial, we will learn about Java 8 IntConsumer interface.
IntConsumer Interface :-
IntConsumer ( java.util.function.IntConsumer ) is a functional interface that has one abstract method and one default method declared in it. This interface is a specialised form of Consumer interface.
Abstract method :-
void accept ( int value ) :- The abstract method accept ( int value ) is a functional method. It accepts one int value as an argument and return no value, it performs the operation defined by the IntConsumer interface ( usually a lambda expression passed as an argument ).
Default method :-
default IntConsumer andThen ( IntConsumer after ) :- It returns a IntConsumer that performs two operation in sequence, first the operation of the IntConsumer on which method is called followed by the operation of the IntConsumer passed as an argument.
Reference :- IntConsumer Interface JavaDocs
Example :-
This example will show you, how to create and call different methods of a IntConsumer interface.
public static void main(String[] args){ IntConsumer consumer1 = ( x ) -> { System.out.println(x + " 1st"); }; // Example of accept consumer1.accept(2); IntConsumer consumer2 = ( x ) -> { System.out.println(x + " 2nd"); }; // Example of andThen consumer1.andThen(consumer2).accept(3); }
Result :-
2 1st 3 1st 3 2nd
