    • apply

      boolean apply(byte element)
      Applies a procedure to an argument. Optionally can return a boolean flag to inform the object calling the procedure.

      Example: forEach() methods often use procedure objects. To signal to a forEach() method whether iteration should continue normally or terminate (because for example a matching element has been found), a procedure can return false to indicate termination and true to indicate continuation.

      Parameters:
      element - element passed to the procedure.
      Returns:
      a flag to inform the object calling the procedure.
