Class OptionalInt

public final class OptionalInt
extends Object

A container object which may or may not contain an int 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() (returns a default value if no value is present) and ifPresent() (performs an action if a 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 OptionalInt may have unpredictable results and should be avoided.

API Note:
OptionalInt is primarily intended for use as a method return type where there is a clear need to represent "no result." A variable whose type is OptionalInt should never itself be null; it should always point to an OptionalInt instance.

Method Detail

empty

public static OptionalInt empty()

Returns an empty OptionalInt instance. No value is present for this OptionalInt.

API Note:
Though it may be tempting to do so, avoid testing if an object is empty by comparing with == against instances returned by OptionalInt.empty(). There is no guarantee that it is a singleton. Instead, use isPresent().
Returns:
an empty OptionalInt

of

public static OptionalInt of​(int value)

Returns an OptionalInt describing the given value.

Parameters:
value - the value to describe
Returns:
an OptionalInt with the value present

getAsInt

public int getAsInt()

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

API Note:
The preferred alternative to this method is orElseThrow().
Returns:
the value described by this OptionalInt
Throws:
NoSuchElementException - if no value is present

isPresent

public boolean isPresent()

If a value is present, returns true, otherwise false.

Returns:
true if a value is present, otherwise false

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

If a value is not present, returns true, otherwise false.

Returns:
true if a value is not present, otherwise false
Since:
11

ifPresent

public void ifPresent​(IntConsumer action)

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

Parameters:
action - the action to be performed, if a value is present
Throws:
NullPointerException - if value is present and the given action is null

ifPresentOrElse

public void ifPresentOrElse​(IntConsumer action,
                            Runnable emptyAction)

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

Parameters:
action - the action to be performed, if a value is present
emptyAction - the empty-based action to be performed, if no value is present
Throws:
NullPointerException - if a value is present and the given action is null, or no value is present and the given empty-based action is null.
Since:
9

stream

public IntStream stream()

If a value is present, returns a sequential IntStream containing only that value, otherwise returns an empty IntStream.

API Note:
This method can be used to transform a Stream of optional integers to an IntStream of present integers: 
Stream<OptionalInt> os = ..
     IntStream s = os.flatMapToInt(OptionalInt::stream)
Returns:
the optional value as an IntStream
Since:
9

orElse

public int orElse​(int other)

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

Parameters:
other - the value to be returned, if no value is present
Returns:
the value, if present, otherwise other

orElseGet

public int orElseGet​(IntSupplier supplier)

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

Parameters:
supplier - the supplying function that produces a value to be returned
Returns:
the value, if present, otherwise the result produced by the supplying function
Throws:
NullPointerException - if no value is present and the supplying function is null

orElseThrow

public int orElseThrow()

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

Returns:
the value described by this OptionalInt
Throws:
NoSuchElementException - if no value is present
Since:
10

orElseThrow

public <X extends Throwable> int orElseThrow​(Supplier<? extends X> exceptionSupplier)
                                      throws X extends Throwable

If a value is present, returns the value, otherwise throws an exception produced by the exception supplying function.

API Note:
A method reference to the exception constructor with an empty argument list can be used as the supplier. For example, IllegalStateException::new
Type Parameters:
X - Type of the exception to be thrown
Parameters:
exceptionSupplier - the supplying function that produces an exception to be thrown
Returns:
the value, if present
Throws:
X - if no value is present
NullPointerException - if no value is present and the exception supplying function is null
X extends Throwable

equals

public boolean equals​(Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this OptionalInt. The other object is considered equal if:

  • it is also an OptionalInt and;
  • both instances have no value present or;
  • the present values are "equal to" each other via ==.
Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
obj - an object to be tested for equality
Returns:
true if the other object is "equal to" this object otherwise false
See Also:
Object.hashCode(), HashMap

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code of the value, if present, otherwise 0 (zero) if no value is present.

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Returns:
hash code value of the present value or 0 if no value is present
See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)

toString

public String toString()

Returns a non-empty string representation of this OptionalInt suitable for debugging. The exact presentation format is unspecified and may vary between implementations and versions.

Overrides:
toString in class Object
Implementation Requirements:
If a value is present the result must include its string representation in the result. Empty and present OptionalInts must be unambiguously differentiable.
Returns:
the string representation of this instance
