Method containing interface as parameter












0















hello how do I call a method taking an interface as a parameter from the main ?
The code in the main is an example of what I want to achieve but by calling the method map now



What do I write in my map method and how do I call it in the main ? Thank you



What I want to achieve :



StringTransformation addBlah = (e) -> {
e += "boo";
return e;
};
System.out.println(addBlah.transf("Hello")); // prints Helloboo




public class Main{

public static void main(String args) {
String a = hello;
// How do I modify the string a by calling map ?


}

void map(StringTransformation t) {
// What do I write ??
}
}

public interface StringTransformation {
String transf(String s);
}

  • With out the interface definition it's hard to say. Please include the code for the interface.

    You pass an instance of a class that has implemented said interface.

    Also, unless I missed something, map will need to be static to be called from main.

  • Aside: you can simply use e -> e += "boo" as your lambda declaration. No need for braces or return, since a += b is an expression.

You cannot call map inside the static main method. You must make map a static method as well if you want to do that. Also we can't help you with what to put inside your map function if you don't tell us what it should do.



public static void main(String args) {

String string = "Hello";
// you can call `mapBoo` like normal here
string = mapBoo(string);
System.out.println(string);

List<String> strings = Arrays.asList("Hello", "this", "is", "a", "test");

// or you can pass mapBoo into the stream.map method since map fits the method signature
List<String> mappedStrings = strings.stream().map(Main::mapBoo)
.collect(Collectors.toList());

for (String mappedString : mappedStrings)
System.out.println(mappedString);
}


static String mapBoo(String s) {
return s + "boo";
}

You want to modify a String with a given StringTransformation so you need to pass both of them to the map method. Also you can turn addBlah in a more simple lambda :



public static void main(String args) {
StringTransformation addBlah = (e) -> e + "boo";

String str = "Hello";
System.out.println(str); // Hello
str = map(addBlah, str);
System.out.println(str); // Helloboo
}

static String map(StringTransformation t, String argument) {
return t.transf(argument);
}

    You want to modify a String with a given StringTransformation so you need to pass both of them to the map method. Also you can turn addBlah in a more simple lambda :



    public static void main(String args) {
    StringTransformation addBlah = (e) -> e + "boo";

    String str = "Hello";
    System.out.println(str); // Hello
    str = map(addBlah, str);
    System.out.println(str); // Helloboo
    }

    static String map(StringTransformation t, String argument) {
    return t.transf(argument);
    }
