Introduction

A function may be composed of as many functions as you want.

You can chain lambda expressions to create a function in one expression.

A cast is provided to help the compiler.

Demo

import java.util.function.Function;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Square the input, add one to the result, and square the result
    Function<Long, Long> chainedFunction = ((Function<Long, Long>) (x -> x * x)).andThen(x -> x + 1)
        .andThen(x -> x * x);/*from   www  . j  a v  a  2 s.c  om*/
    System.out.println(chainedFunction.apply(3L));

  }
}
