## Interface LazyFunction<T>

-     public interface LazyFunction<T>

  A lazy function is used to populate a `Flow` incrementally. Lazy functions allow calculations to be deferred. They also support infinitely large Flows, where successive values are computed just as needed.

    `LazyContinuation<T>` | `next()` Calculates the next value for the function.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### next

          LazyContinuation<T> next()

      Calculates the next value for the function. The return value is tricky: it combines the next value in the `Flow` with a function to compute the value after that as a `LazyContinuation`. Alternately, a LazyFunction can return null to indicate that it has returned all the values it can.
      Returns:
        continuation containing next value and next function, or null when no more values can be produced
