I was wondering if it was possible to set a parameter or variable as a method. In turing, for instance, you can do this:
Or in Python there's a method called reduce whose first argument takes in a function. Is there anything like that in java? |

Oh I just discovered you can use "implement" to do sort of the same thing, you define a bunch of classes with one method that is the function you want. Any other ideas out there? |

Right now you can use an anonymous inner class. Once Java joins the future, you can also use lambda functions like in Python. |

Well technically speaking I'm not using Java, but something based off of Java (Processing, in case you're curious), so what I stated above works in it but I don't think I can do that |
