Question

I am in the process of converting some code from C# to Java. I have never used C# before, but it has been pretty easy up to this point.

I have a line that looks like this in the C# file:

 coverage.createMethod = delegate (Gridpoint gp){
 //Some method stuff in here, with a return objecct
 }

What exactly is this trying to do? It seems a little bit like an inline class but I am not sure how to go about converting htis to java

Edit: more on the specific problem

In a file called STKDriver.java i have the following

 CoverageDefinitionOnCentralBody coverage = new CoverageDefinitionOnCentralBody(...);
 .
 .
 .
 DClass value = new DClass(STKDriver.class, "invoke", CoverageGrid.class);
 coverage.setGridPointCreationMethod(value);

In the fill DClass.java, which extends CreateCoverageGridPointForAccess I have the following:

 public DClass(Class class1, String string, Class<CoverageGridPoint> class2{}
 .
 .
 .
 public IServiceProvider invoke(CoverageGridPoint gridPoint){
    return something; //of the classtype Platform
 }

Is this done correctly? The class definitions are linked here:

Notice that the class CreateCoverageGridPointForAccess is abstract and extends that Delegate class.

Does this implementation I have created look correct? I Can write in more code if necessary

Answer 1

This is an anonymous method in C#. It’s technically the same thing as:

coverage.createMethod = new Func<Gridpoint, object>(SampleMethod);

public object SampleMethod(Gridpoint gp)
{
    return thingy; // Pseudo for return value
}

It’s just a shortcut you can use to code less.
