# Class Functions

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.lang3.Functions

@Deprecated public class Functions extends Object
Deprecated.
Use `Failable`.
This class provides utility functions, and classes for working with the `java.util.function` package, or more generally, with Java 8 lambdas. More specifically, it attempts to address the fact that lambdas are supposed not to throw Exceptions, at least not checked Exceptions, AKA instances of `Exception`. This enforces the use of constructs like:

        Consumer<java.lang.reflect.Method> consumer = m -> {
            try {
                m.invoke(o, args);
            } catch (Throwable t) {
                throw Functions.rethrow(t);
            }
        };

By replacing a `Consumer<O>` with a `FailableConsumer<O,? extends Throwable>`, this can be written like follows:

      Functions.accept((m) -> m.invoke(o,args));

Obviously, the second version is much more concise and the spirit of Lambda expressions is met better than the second version.

  3.9

    Invokes a supplier, and returns the result.
    Type Parameters:
      `O` - The suppliers output type.
      `T` - The type of checked exception, which the supplier can throw.
    Parameters:
      `supplier` - The supplier to invoke.

    Since:

  - ### rethrow

    public static RuntimeException rethrow(Throwable throwable)
    Deprecated.
    Rethrows a `Throwable` as an unchecked exception. If the argument is already unchecked, namely a `RuntimeException` or `Error` then the argument will be rethrown without modification. If the exception is `IOException` then it will be wrapped into a `UncheckedIOException`. In every other cases the exception will be wrapped into a `UndeclaredThrowableException`

    Note that there is a declared return type for this method, even though it never returns. The reason for that is to support the usual pattern:

        throw rethrow(myUncheckedException);

    instead of just calling the method. This pattern may help the Java compiler to recognize that at that point an exception will be thrown and the code flow analysis will not demand otherwise mandatory commands that could follow the method call, like a `return` statement from a value returning method.

    Parameters:
      `throwable` - The throwable to rethrow possibly wrapped into an unchecked exception
    Returns:
      Never returns anything, this method never terminates normally.

  - ### run

    public static <T extends Throwable> void run(Functions.FailableRunnable<T> runnable)

    Runs a runnable and rethrows any exception as a `RuntimeException`.
    Type Parameters:
      `T` - the type of checked exception the runnable may throw
    Parameters:
      `runnable` - The runnable to run

  - ### stream

    public static <O> Streams.FailableStream<O> stream(Collection<O> collection)
    Deprecated.
    Converts the given collection into a `Streams.FailableStream`. The `Streams.FailableStream` consists of the collections elements. Shortcut for

        Functions.stream(collection.stream());

    Type Parameters:
      `O` - The collections element type. (In turn, the result streams element type.)
    Parameters:
      `collection` - The collection, which is being converted into a `Streams.FailableStream`.
    Returns:
      The created `Streams.FailableStream`.
    Since:
      3.10

  - ### stream

    public static <O> Streams.FailableStream<O> stream(Stream<O> stream)
    Deprecated.

However, failable lambdas, like `Functions.FailablePredicate`, `Functions.FailableFunction`, and `Functions.FailableConsumer` may be applied, rather than `Predicate`, `Function`, `Consumer`, etc.
    Type Parameters:
      `O` - The streams element type.
    Parameters:
      `stream` - The stream, which is being converted into a `Streams.FailableStream`.
    Returns:
      The created `Streams.FailableStream`.
    Since:
      3.10

      `O2` - the type of the second argument the predicate tests
      `T` - the type of checked exception the predicate may throw
    Parameters:
      `predicate` - the predicate to test
      `object1` - the first input to test by `predicate`

  - ### tryWithResources

    @SafeVarargs public static void tryWithResources(Functions.FailableRunnable<? extends Throwable> action, Functions.FailableConsumer<Throwable, ? extends Throwable> errorHandler, Functions.FailableRunnable<? extends Throwable>... resources)
    Deprecated.
    A simple try-with-resources implementation, that can be used, if your objects do not implement the `AutoCloseable` interface. The method executes the `action`. The method guarantees, that all the `resources` are being executed, in the given order, afterwards, and regardless of success, or failure. If either the original action, or any of the resource action fails, then the first failure (AKA `Throwable`) is rethrown. Example use:

            final FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("my.file");
            Functions.tryWithResources(useInputStream(fis), null, () -> fis.close());

    Parameters:
      `action` - The action to execute. This object will always be invoked.
      `errorHandler` - An optional error handler, which will be invoked finally, if any error occurred. The error handler will receive the first error, AKA `Throwable`.
      `resources` - The resource actions to execute. All resource actions will be invoked, in the given order. A resource action is an instance of `Functions.FailableRunnable`, which will be executed.
    See Also:
      - `tryWithResources(FailableRunnable, FailableRunnable...)`

    Parameters:
      `action` - The action to execute. This object will always be invoked.
      `resources` - The resource actions to execute. All resource actions will be invoked, in the given order. A resource action is an instance of `Functions.FailableRunnable`, which will be executed.
