public static class Grepper.ANDGrepper<E>
extends ArrayList<Grepper<E>>
implements Grepper<E>

A Grepper that chains multiple client greppers logical-AND-wise. Greps elements that are grepped by all client greppers. Rejects elements that are rejected by at least one of the client greppers.

Since this is a List, you add client greppers by using the List method List.add(Object). However, do not rely on this class to inherit from a specific List implementation (such as ArrayList), as this may change in the future.

Invokes the client greppers in the order stored in this list. From a performance point of view it is best to add greppers first that are most likely to reject most of the tested elements.

Method Detail

grep

public boolean grep(E element)

Returns false if any of the client greppers returns false. Returns true if all client greppers return true.
