Predicate (Primitive-Collections 0.8.0 API)

Type Parameters:

T - the keyType of elements maintained by this Collection

All Superinterfaces:

java.util.function.Predicate<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 Predicate<T>
extends java.util.function.Predicate<T>
```
A Type Specific Function interface that reduces boxing/unboxing and fills the gaps of interfaces that are missing.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`static <T> Predicate<T>`	`alwaysFalse()` Creates a Always false function that may be useful if you don't need to process information or just want a default.
`static <T> Predicate<T>`	`alwaysTrue()` Creates a Always true function that may be useful if you don't need to process information or just want a default.
`default Predicate<T>`	`and(java.util.function.Predicate<? super T> other)` Deprecated.
`default Predicate<T>`	`andType(Predicate<T> other)` A Type specific and-function helper function that reduces boxing/unboxing
`default Predicate<T>`	`negate()`
`default Predicate<T>`	`or(java.util.function.Predicate<? super T> other)` Deprecated.
`default Predicate<T>`	`orType(Predicate<T> other)` A Type specific or-function helper function that reduces boxing/unboxing
