static <T> Function<T,T>	identity() Get a function that always returns the input.
static <T,R> Function<T,R>	memoize(Function<T,R> function, ConcurrentMap<T,R> map) Memoizer maps an input to an output and always returns the mapped result rather than calling the wrapped function every time.

Method Detail

memoize

public static <T,R> Function<T,R> memoize(Function<T,R> function,
                                          ConcurrentMap<T,R> map)

Memoizer maps an input to an output and always returns the mapped result rather than calling the wrapped function every time. Useful when the wrapped function is expensive to call.

Note, once mapped the input and the result can only be externally removed. Also, if the supplied function returns nulls then no memoization will occur.

Type Parameters:

T - the input type. MUST be immutable.

R - the result type.

Parameters:

function - for supplying the initial value that gets mapped

map - for storing the key-value mappings

Returns:

a memoizing function.

identity

public static <T> Function<T,T> identity()

Get a function that always returns the input.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the input and the output for the function.

Returns:

the identity function.
