# Interface LongUnaryOperator

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 LongUnaryOperator
Represents an operation on a single `long`-valued operand that produces a `long`-valued result. This is the primitive type specialization of `UnaryOperator` for `long`.

This is a functional interface whose functional method is `applyAsLong(long)`.

Since:
  1.8

## Method Summary

Modifier and Type
Method
Description
`default LongUnaryOperator`
`andThen(LongUnaryOperator after)`
Returns a composed operator that first applies this operator to its input, and then applies the `after` operator to the result.
`long`
`applyAsLong(long operand)`
Applies this operator to the given operand.
`default LongUnaryOperator`
`compose(LongUnaryOperator before)`
Returns a composed operator that first applies the `before` operator to its input, and then applies this operator to the result.
`static LongUnaryOperator`
`identity()`
Returns a unary operator that always returns its input argument.

## Method Details

### applyAsLong

long applyAsLong(long operand)
Applies this operator to the given operand.

Parameters:
  `operand` - the operand
Returns:
  the operator result

### compose

default LongUnaryOperator compose(LongUnaryOperator before)
Returns a composed operator that first applies the `before` operator to its input, and then applies this operator to the result. If evaluation of either operator throws an exception, it is relayed to the caller of the composed operator.

Parameters:
  `before` - the operator to apply before this operator is applied
Returns:
  a composed operator that first applies the `before` operator and then applies this operator
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if before is null
See Also:
  - `andThen(LongUnaryOperator)`

### andThen

default LongUnaryOperator andThen(LongUnaryOperator after)
Returns a composed operator that first applies this operator to its input, and then applies the `after` operator to the result. If evaluation of either operator throws an exception, it is relayed to the caller of the composed operator.

Parameters:
  `after` - the operator to apply after this operator is applied
Returns:
  a composed operator that first applies this operator and then applies the `after` operator
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if after is null
See Also:
  - `compose(LongUnaryOperator)`

### identity

static LongUnaryOperator identity()
Returns a unary operator that always returns its input argument.

Returns:
  a unary operator that always returns its input argument
