      Returns:
      A conjunctive filter.
      Since:
      4.1.9

    • and

      @NotNull public static <T> @NotNull Filter<T> and(@NotNull @NotNull Collection<Filter<T>> f)

      Parameters:
      f - The filters to be combined.
      Returns:
      A conjunctive filter.
      Since:
      4.1.9

    • or

      @NotNull public static <T> @NotNull Filter<T> or(Filter<T>... f)
      Factory to create a combinatorial disjunction-filter on the given arguments.
      Parameters:
      f - The filtersr to be combined.
      Returns:
      A disjunctive filter.
      Since:

    • or

      @NotNull public static <T> @NotNull Filter<T> or(@NotNull @NotNull Collection<Filter<T>> f)
      Factory to create a combinatorial disjunction-filter on a given collection of filters.
      Parameters:
      f - The filters to be combined.
      Returns:
      A disjunctive filter.
      Since:

    • not

      @NotNull public static <T> @NotNull Filter<T> not(@NotNull @NotNull Filter<T> f)
      Factory to create a negation of the given filter.
      Parameters:
      f - The filter to be negated.
      Returns:
      The negating filter.

    • implies

      @NotNull public static <T> @NotNull Filter<T> implies(@NotNull @NotNull Filter<T> condition, @NotNull @NotNull Filter<T> implication)
      Factory to create a logical consequence based filter on a given condition and its implication. That is, the filter accepts an element, if either the condition fails to accept or, if it does accept the element, the implication accepts the element as well.
      Parameters:
      condition - The condition that may be accepted or not.
      implication - The implication that must be accepted.
      Returns:
      true, if the condition does not hold or the implication accepts the element.
