java.util.function.IntFunction implementation using modern java

IntFunction is a functional interface, it takes an int and returns a reference type.

This reference type can be specified by using generic type specification.

We can implement it in different ways.

Implement using a regular class.

private class IntFuncImpl implements IntFunction<Integer>{
    @Override
    public Integer apply(final int intValue) { return Integer.valueOf(intValue); }
}

Implement using an anonymous class.

final IntFunction<Integer> anonClass = new IntFunction<Integer>() {
                                      
                      @Override
                      public Integer apply(final int intValue) { return Integer.valueOf(intValue); }
    
                                  };

Lambda 1 :-

final IntFunction<Integer> lambdaWithDataType    = (int intValue) -> { return Integer.valueOf(intValue); };

Lambda 2 :-

final IntFunction<Integer> lambdaWithoutDataType = (intValue) -> Integer.valueOf(intValue); 

Lambda 3 :-

final IntFunction<Integer> lambdaWithMethodReference = Integer::valueOf;

You can watch my youtube video, where I am coding this implementation.

Full Source Code :-

import java.util.function.IntFunction;

public class IntFunctionImpl{
    private class IntFuncImpl implements IntFunction<Integer>{
    @Override
    public Integer apply(final int intValue) { return Integer.valueOf(intValue); }
    }

    final IntFunction<Integer> anonClass = new IntFunction<Integer>() {
                                      
                      @Override
                      public Integer apply(final int intValue) { return Integer.valueOf(intValue); }
    
                                  };
    final IntFunction<Integer> lambdaWithDataType    = (int intValue) -> { return Integer.valueOf(intValue); };
    final IntFunction<Integer> lambdaWithoutDataType = (intValue) -> Integer.valueOf(intValue); 

    final IntFunction<Integer> lambdaWithMethodReference = Integer::valueOf;

    public static void main(final String... args){
    final IntFunctionImpl obj = new IntFunctionImpl();
    final IntFuncImpl func = obj.new IntFuncImpl();
        Integer val = func.apply(19);
    System.out.println(val);

    val = obj.anonClass.apply(10);
    System.out.println(val);

    val = obj.lambdaWithDataType.apply(10);
    System.out.println(val);

    val = obj.lambdaWithoutDataType.apply(12);
    System.out.println(val);

    val = obj.lambdaWithMethodReference.apply(23);
    System.out.println(val);
    }
}
