## org.hamcrest.core
Class AnyOf<T>

    java.lang.Object
      org.hamcrest.BaseMatcher<T>
          org.hamcrest.core.AnyOf<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:
  org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>, org.hamcrest.SelfDescribing

    public class AnyOf<T>

extends org.hamcrest.BaseMatcher<T>

Calculates the logical disjunction of two matchers. Evaluation is shortcut, so that the second matcher is not called if the first matcher returns `true`.

Method Summary
`static
`<T> org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>`
` | `anyOf(java.lang.Iterable<org.hamcrest.Matcher<? extends T>> matchers)` Evaluates to true if ANY of the passed in matchers evaluate to true.

Constructor Detail

Method Detail

### matches

    public boolean matches(java.lang.Object o)

  Description copied from interface: `org.hamcrest.Matcher`
  Evaluates the matcher for argument item.

  This method matches against Object, instead of the generic type T. This is because the caller of the Matcher does not know at runtime what the type is (because of type erasure with Java generics). It is down to the implementations to check the correct type.

  Parameters:
    `o` - the object against which the matcher is evaluated.
  Returns:
    `true` if item matches, otherwise `false`.
  See Also:
    `BaseMatcher`

### describeTo

    public void describeTo(org.hamcrest.Description description)

  Description copied from interface: `org.hamcrest.SelfDescribing`
  Generates a description of the object. The description may be part of a a description of a larger object of which this is just a component, so it should be worded appropriately.

  Parameters:
    `description` - The description to be built or appended to.

### anyOf

    public static <T> org.hamcrest.Matcher<T> anyOf(org.hamcrest.Matcher<? extends T>... matchers)

  Evaluates to true if ANY of the passed in matchers evaluate to true.

### anyOf

    public static <T> org.hamcrest.Matcher<T> anyOf(java.lang.Iterable<org.hamcrest.Matcher<? extends T>> matchers)

  Evaluates to true if ANY of the passed in matchers evaluate to true.
