A container object which may or may not contain a non-null value. If a value is present, isPresent()
will return true
and get()
will return the value. Additional methods that depend on the presence or absence of a contained value are provided, such as orElse()
(return a default value if value not present) and ifPresent()
(execute a block of code if the value is present).
This is a value-based class; use of identity-sensitive operations (including reference equality (==
), identity hash code, or synchronization) on instances of Optional
may have unpredictable results and should be avoided.
Since: 1.8
