Use method reference with parameter

by

You can’t use method references for this purpose. You have to resort to lambda expressions. The reason why the bind2 method of the linked question doesn’t work is that you are actually trying to bind two parameters to convert a three-arg function into a one-arg function. There is no similarly simple solution as there is no standard functional interface for three-arg consumers.

It would have to look like

interface ThreeConsumer<T, U, V> {
    void accept(T t, U u, V v);
}
public static <T, U, V> Consumer<T> bind2and3(
                        ThreeConsumer<? super T, U, V> c, U arg2, V arg3) {
    return (arg1) -> c.accept(arg1, arg2, arg3);
}

Then .forEach(bind2and3(Node::findChildren, name, result)); could work. But is this really simpler than .forEach(node -> node.findChildren(name, result));?
