All Superinterfaces:
Function<T,​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 UnaryOperator<T>
extends Function<T,​T>
Represents an operation on a single operand that produces a result of the same type as its operand. This is a specialization of Function for the case where the operand and result are of the same type.

This is a functional interface whose functional method is Function.apply(Object).
