Class OptionalLong

java.lang.Object

java8.util.OptionalLong

public final class OptionalLong
extends java.lang.Object

A container object which may or may not contain a long value. If a value is present, isPresent() will return true and getAsLong() 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 OptionalLong may have unpredictable results and should be avoided.

Since:

1.8

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static OptionalLong	empty() Returns an empty OptionalLong instance.
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this OptionalLong.
long	getAsLong() If a value is present in this OptionalLong, returns the value, otherwise throws NoSuchElementException.
int	hashCode() Returns the hash code value of the present value, if any, or 0 (zero) if no value is present.
void	ifPresent(LongConsumer consumer) Have the specified consumer accept the value if a value is present, otherwise do nothing.
boolean	isPresent() Return true if there is a value present, otherwise false.
static OptionalLong	of(long value) Return an OptionalLong with the specified value present.
long	orElse(long other) Return the value if present, otherwise return other.
long	orElseGet(LongSupplier other) Return the value if present, otherwise invoke other and return the result of that invocation.
<X extends java.lang.Throwable> long	orElseThrow(Supplier<X> exceptionSupplier) Return the contained value, if present, otherwise throw an exception to be created by the provided supplier.
java.lang.String	toString() Returns a non-empty string representation of this object suitable for debugging.

Method Detail

empty

public static OptionalLong empty()

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

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

Returns:

an empty OptionalLong.

of

public static OptionalLong of(long value)

Return an OptionalLong with the specified value present.

Parameters:

value - the value to be present

Returns:

an OptionalLong with the value present

getAsLong

public long getAsLong()

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

Returns:

the value held by this OptionalLong

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if there is no value present

See Also:

isPresent()

isPresent

public boolean isPresent()

Return true if there is a value present, otherwise false.

Returns:

true if there is a value present, otherwise false

ifPresent

public void ifPresent(LongConsumer consumer)

Have the specified consumer accept the value if a value is present, otherwise do nothing.

Parameters:

consumer - block to be executed if a value is present

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if value is present and consumer is null

orElse

public long orElse(long other)

Return the value if present, otherwise return other.

Parameters:

other - the value to be returned if there is no value present

Returns:

the value, if present, otherwise other

orElseGet

public long orElseGet(LongSupplier other)

Return the value if present, otherwise invoke other and return the result of that invocation.

Parameters:

other - a LongSupplier whose result is returned if no value is present

Returns:

the value if present otherwise the result of other.getAsLong()

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if value is not present and other is null

orElseThrow

public <X extends java.lang.Throwable> long orElseThrow(Supplier<X> exceptionSupplier)
                                                 throws X extends java.lang.Throwable

Return the contained value, if present, otherwise throw an exception to be created by the provided supplier.

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 supplier which will return the exception to be thrown

Returns:

the present value

Throws:

X - if there is no value present

java.lang.NullPointerException - if no value is present and exceptionSupplier is null

X extends java.lang.Throwable

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

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

• it is also an OptionalLong and;
• both instances have no value present or;
• the present values are "equal to" each other via ==.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - an object to be tested for equality

Returns:

{code true} if the other object is "equal to" this object otherwise false

hashCode

public int hashCode()

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

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

hash code value of the present value or 0 if no value is present

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

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

Implementation Requirements:
If a value is present the result must include its string representation in the result. Empty and present instances must be unambiguously differentiable.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the string representation of this instance
