Class ImmutableTriple<L,​M,​R>

  • Type Parameters:
    L - the left element type
    M - the middle element type
    R - the right element type
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Triple<L,​M,​R>>

    public final class ImmutableTriple<L,​M,​R>
    extends Triple<L,​M,​R>

    An immutable triple consisting of three Object elements.

    Although the implementation is immutable, there is no restriction on the objects that may be stored. If mutable objects are stored in the triple, then the triple itself effectively becomes mutable. The class is also final, so a subclass can not add undesirable behavior.

    #ThreadSafe# if all three objects are thread-safe

        Obtains an immutable triple of three objects inferring the generic types.

        This factory allows the triple to be created using inference to obtain the generic types.

        Type Parameters:
        L - the left element type
        M - the middle element type
        R - the right element type
        Parameters:
        left - the left element, may be null
        middle - the middle element, may be null
        right - the right element, may be null
        Returns:
        a triple formed from the three parameters, not null
