JavaFX - reduce() function to show how to pass functions as parameters
At the moment I'm writing a JavaFX guide for Java developers. In order to show how to pass a function to another function I adopted the reduce() function found in Effective Java:
function reduce(seq: Integer, f: function(: Integer, : Integer): Integer, init: Integer) {
var result = init;
for (i in seq) {
result = f(i, 开发者_StackOverflow中文版result);
}
result
}
def nums = [1 .. 10];
println(reduce(nums, function(a: Integer, b: Integer) { a + b }, 0)); // prints 55
println(reduce(nums, function(a: Integer, b: Integer) { a * b }, 1)); // prints 3628800
Now I wonder if this example is not too hard for somebody starting to learn JavaFX. The tutorial is targeted at programmers with a solid understanding of Java, yet I'm not quite sure about the usefulness of the example. Any ideas?
An example may be something like this.
Suppose you create a ui component for example a "fashion button"
This fashion button has a method onMouseOver that receives as a parameter another method X. inside onMouseOver some preprocessing is made and then X method is called.
So the user of fashion button can create this X method and pass it to onMouseOver, so when the mouse pointer is over the button X method will be executed.
