Interface FunctionN

All Known Implementing Classes:

DynReflectFunction, FunctionNImpl

public interface FunctionN

Interface that represents a function of an arbitrary number of parameters.

This interface also serves as a bridge between the functions obtained using reflection and the typed functions (Function0..4) used in the rest of the library.
