# Interface BiConsumer<T,U>

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the first argument to the operation
  `U` - the type of the second argument to the operation

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 BiConsumer<T,U>
Represents an operation that accepts two input arguments and returns no result. This is the two-arity specialization of `Consumer`. Unlike most other functional interfaces, `BiConsumer` is expected to operate via side-effects.

This is a functional interface whose functional method is `accept(Object, Object)`.

Since:
  1.8

  - `Consumer`

## Method Summary

Modifier and Type
Method
Description
`void`
`accept(T t, U u)`
Performs this operation on the given arguments.
`default BiConsumer<T,U>`
`andThen(BiConsumer<? super T,? super U> after)`
Returns a composed `BiConsumer` that performs, in sequence, this operation followed by the `after` operation.

## Method Details

### accept

void accept(T t, U u)
Performs this operation on the given arguments.

Parameters:
  `t` - the first input argument
  `u` - the second input argument

### andThen

default BiConsumer<T,U> andThen(BiConsumer<? super T,? super U> after)
Returns a composed `BiConsumer` that performs, in sequence, this operation followed by the `after` operation. If performing either operation throws an exception, it is relayed to the caller of the composed operation. If performing this operation throws an exception, the `after` operation will not be performed.

Parameters:
  `after` - the operation to perform after this operation
Returns:
  a composed `BiConsumer` that performs in sequence this operation followed by the `after` operation
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if `after` is null
