Interface Semigroup<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Data type of elements to be combined

All Superinterfaces:

java.util.function.BiFunction<T,T,T>, java.util.function.BinaryOperator<T>

All Known Subinterfaces:

Monoid<T>, Reducer<T>

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface Semigroup<T>
extends java.util.function.BinaryOperator<T>

An (associative) binary operation for combining values. Implementations should obey associativity laws.
