    UnaryOperator
    @FunctionalInterface interface UnaryOperator<T : Any!> : Function<T, T>
    
    Represents an operation on a single operand that produces a result of the same type as its operand. This is a specialization of Function for the case where the operand and result are of the same type. 
    This is a functional interface whose functional method is apply(java.lang.Object).

          | Public methods | 
        
          | open static UnaryOperator<T>! | Returns a unary operator that always returns its input argument. | 
      
    
    
      
        
          | Inherited functions | 
        
          | From class Function
                
                  
                    | Function<T, V>! | andThen(after: Function<in R, out V>!)
                         Returns a composed function that first applies this function to its input, and then applies the afterfunction to the result. If evaluation of either function throws an exception, it is relayed to the caller of the composed function. |  
                    | R | apply(t: T)
                         Applies this function to the given argument. |  
                    | Function<V, R>! | compose(before: Function<in V, out T>!)
                         Returns a composed function that first applies the beforefunction to its input, and then applies this function to the result. If evaluation of either function throws an exception, it is relayed to the caller of the composed function. |  |
