# Interface TriFunction<T,U,V,R>

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the first argument to the function
  `U` - the type of the second argument to the function
  `V` - the type of the third argument to the function
  `R` - the type of the result of the function

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 TriFunction<T,U,V,R>
Represents a function that accepts three arguments and produces a result. This is the three-arity specialization of `Function`.

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

  Modifier and Type
  Method
  Description
  `default <W> TriFunction<T,U,V,W>`
  `andThen(Function<? super R, ? extends W> after)`
  Returns a composed function that first applies this function to its input, and then applies the `after` function to the result.
  `R`
  `apply(T t, U u, V v)`
  Applies this function to the given arguments.

- ## Method Details

  - ### andThen

    default <W> TriFunction<T,U,V,W> andThen(Function<? super R, ? extends W> after)
    Returns a composed function that first applies this function to its input, and then applies the `after` function to the result. If evaluation of either function throws an exception, it is relayed to the caller of the composed function.
    Type Parameters:
      `W` - the type of output of the `after` function, and of the composed function
    Parameters:
      `after` - the function to apply after this function is applied
    Returns:
      a composed function that first applies this function and then applies the `after` function
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if after is null

  - ### apply

    R apply(T t, U u, V v)
    Applies this function to the given arguments.
    Parameters:
      `t` - the first function argument
      `u` - the second function argument
      `v` - the third function argument
    Returns:
      the function result
