Optional Class

Definition

A container object which may or may not contain a non-null value.

Remarks

A container object which may or may not contain a non-null value. If a value is present, isPresent() returns true. If no value is present, the object is considered empty and isPresent() returns false.

Additional methods that depend on the presence or absence of a contained value are provided, such as #orElse(Object) orElse() (returns a default value if no value is present) and #ifPresent(Consumer) ifPresent() (performs an action if a value is present).

This is a value-based class; programmers should treat instances that are #equals(Object) equal as interchangeable and should not use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail.

Methods

Name Description
Clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

(Inherited from Object)
Dispose()

Releases the resources held by this Java peer.

(Inherited from Object)
Dispose(Boolean)

(Inherited from Object)
Empty()

Returns an empty Optional instance.

Equals(Object)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

(Inherited from Object)
Filter(IPredicate)

If a value is present, and the value matches the given predicate, returns an Optional describing the value, otherwise returns an empty Optional.

FlatMap(IFunction)

If a value is present, returns the result of applying the given Optional-bearing mapping function to the value, otherwise returns an empty Optional.

Get()

If a value is present, returns the value, otherwise throws NoSuchElementException.

GetHashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

(Inherited from Object)
IfPresent(IConsumer)

If a value is present, performs the given action with the value, otherwise does nothing.

IfPresentOrElse(IConsumer, IRunnable)

If a value is present, performs the given action with the value, otherwise performs the given empty-based action.

JavaFinalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

(Inherited from Object)
Map(IFunction)

If a value is present, returns an Optional describing (as if by #ofNullable) the result of applying the given mapping function to the value, otherwise returns an empty Optional.

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

(Inherited from Object)
NotifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

(Inherited from Object)
Of(Object)

Returns an Optional describing the given non-null value.

OfNullable(Object)

OrElse(Object)

If a value is present, returns the value, otherwise returns other.

OrElseGet(ISupplier)

If a value is present, returns the value, otherwise returns the result produced by the supplying function.

OrElseThrow()

Wait(Int64, Int32)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
