## Interface FailableFunction<T,R,E extends Throwable>

- Type Parameters:
    `T` - Input type 1.
    `R` - Return type.
    `E` - Thrown exception.
  Functional Interface:
    This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

      @FunctionalInterface
      public interface FailableFunction<T,R,E extends Throwable>

  A functional interface like `Function` that declares a `Throwable`.
  Since:
    3.11

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### identity

          static <T,E extends Throwable> FailableFunction<T,T,E> identity()

      Returns a function that always returns its input argument.
      Type Parameters:
        `T` - the type of the input and output objects to the function
        `E` - Thrown exception.
      Returns:
        a function that always returns its input argument

    - #### nop

          static <T,R,E extends Throwable> FailableFunction<T,R,E> nop()

      Returns The NOP singleton.
      Type Parameters:
        `T` - Consumed type 1.
        `R` - Return type.
        `E` - Thrown exception.
      Returns:
        The NOP singleton.

    - #### andThen

          default <V> FailableFunction<T,V,E> andThen(FailableFunction<? super R,? extends V,E> after)

      Returns a composed `FailableFunction` like `Function.andThen(Function)`.
      Type Parameters:
        `V` - the output type of the `after` function, and of the composed function.
      Parameters:
        `after` - the operation to perform after this one.
      Returns:
        a composed `FailableFunction` like `Function.andThen(Function)`.
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - when `after` is null.

    - #### apply

          R apply(T input)
           throws E extends Throwable

      Applies this function.
      Parameters:
        `input` - the input for the function
      Returns:
        the result of the function
      Throws:
        `E` - Thrown when the function fails.
        `E extends Throwable`

    - #### compose

          default <V> FailableFunction<V,R,E> compose(FailableFunction<? super V,? extends T,E> before)

      Returns a composed `FailableFunction` like `Function.compose(Function)`.
      Type Parameters:
        `V` - the input type to the `before` function, and to the composed function.
      Parameters:
        `before` - the operator to apply before this one.
      Returns:
        a a composed `FailableFunction` like `Function.compose(Function)`.
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if before is null.
