Interface AssociativeOperation<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the elements to which this operation can be applied.

All Superinterfaces:

BinaryFunction<T,T>, BinaryOperation<T>

All Known Subinterfaces:

CommutativeAssociativeOperation<T>

public interface AssociativeOperation<T>
extends BinaryOperation<T>

Represents a binary operation which guarantees that it is associative. In other words:

Let a,b and c being elements of an mathematical structure, 'o' representing the operation. Then the following is valid: (a o b) o c = a o (b o c).
