It is primarily used for function composition and conditional filtering in functional programming.<\/p>\n<p>The negate function is a default method defined in the java.util.function.Predicate interface. This interface is a functional interface that takes an input parameter and returns a boolean value, commonly used for conditional statements. The negate function can perform a negation operation on the test method in the Predicate interface, returning the opposite boolean value from the original result.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example of using the negate function:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">import<\/span> java.util.function.Predicate;\r\n\r\n<span class=\"hljs-keyword\">public<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">class<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title class_\">Main<\/span> {\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">public<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">static<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">void<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title function_\">main<\/span><span class=\"hljs-params\">(String[] args)<\/span> {\r\n        Predicate&lt;Integer&gt; isPositive = num -&gt; num &gt; <span class=\"hljs-number\">0<\/span>;\r\n        Predicate&lt;Integer&gt; isNegative = isPositive.negate();\r\n        \r\n        System.out.println(isPositive.test(<span class=\"hljs-number\">10<\/span>)); <span class=\"hljs-comment\">\/\/ \u8f93\u51fa: true<\/span>\r\n        System.out.println(isNegative.test(<span class=\"hljs-number\">10<\/span>)); <span class=\"hljs-comment\">\/\/ \u8f93\u51fa: false<\/span>\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In the example above, a Predicate object named isPositive is first defined to determine if the input number is positive.
