an even better way to pass methods as parameters

methoding.java

public static void main(String[] args) {
	// this uses a java 8 feature called method references (i think)
	// it looks for method "aThingToDo" in class "methoding" (the name of this class)
	// aThingToDo must match the pattern, as doAThing says
	doAThing(methoding::aThingToDo);
}

// define a pattern for what type of method we want
// we want a method with String s as input and no return (void)
public interface voidMethod {
	// 'run' or whatever you name it will be the method you actually use later on
	void run(String s);
}

// this method matches that pattern
public static void aThingToDo(String s) {
	System.out.println(s);
}

// this method will run the method we just defined
public static void doAThing(voidMethod v) {
	v.run("this will be printed to the console");
}
