# Interface Closure<T>

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the input to the operation.

All Superinterfaces:
  `Consumer<T>`

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `CatchAndRethrowClosure`, `ChainedClosure`, `ExceptionClosure`, `ForClosure`, `IfClosure`, `NOPClosure`, `SwitchClosure`, `TransformerClosure`, `WhileClosure`

@Deprecated public interface Closure<T> extends Consumer<T>
Deprecated.
Use `Consumer`.
Defines a functor interface implemented by classes that do something.

A `Closure` represents a block of code which is executed from inside some block, function or iteration. It operates an input object.

Standard implementations of common closures are provided by `ClosureUtils`. These include method invocation and for/while loops.
