          LongSummaryStatistics implements IntConsumer in order that it can accept int values as well as long values.



          For example, this allows you to pass it to a method requiring an IntConsumer in order to consume some int data abstractly:



          LongSummaryStatistics lss = new LongSummaryStatistics();
          
someMethod(lss);
          

          
void someMethod(IntConsumer consumer) { ... }


          There's no real reason why a LongSummaryStatistics shouldn't be usable for this purpose: int can always be widened to long without loss. However, the type system wouldn't allow lss to be used as a parameter to someMethod unless LongSummaryStatistics implemented IntConsumer directly.



          True, you could do this without implementing the interface, using a lambda:



          someMethod(i -> lss.consume(i));


          but it's just a bit neater to use the reference directly.

            I don't understand what you mean by "why let consumers define separate streams of int and long and then mix them"? Streams are not the only sources of data for *SummaryStatistics, you can invoke the methods directly.

          • True, and when invoking the *SummaryStatistics directly too, why should one be collecting stats for varied type(int at once and long at another) of data is what I am thinking about. Maybe thinking too much there, but seemingly an example would cool down my thought process I guess.
