Class OptionalLong

  • public final class OptionalLong
extends Object
    A container object which may or may not contain a long 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 OptionalLong may have unpredictable results and should be avoided.

    API Note:
    OptionalLong 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 OptionalLong should never itself be null; it should always point to an OptionalLong instance.

    • 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 OptionalLong.empty(). There is no guarantee that it is a singleton. Instead, use isPresent().
        Returns:
        an empty OptionalLong.

        public long getAsLong()

        NoSuchElementException - if no value is present

      • ifPresent

        public void ifPresent​(LongConsumer 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​(LongConsumer 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

      • stream

        public LongStream stream()
        If a value is present, returns a sequential LongStream containing only that value, otherwise returns an empty LongStream.
        API Note:
        This method can be used to transform a Stream of optional longs to an LongStream of present longs: 
        
     Stream<OptionalLong> os = ..
     LongStream s = os.flatMapToLong(OptionalLong::stream)

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(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 Object
        Parameters:
        obj - an object to be tested for equality
        Returns:
        true if the other object is "equal to" this object otherwise false

      • toString

        public String toString()
        Returns a non-empty string representation of this OptionalLong 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 OptionalLongs must be unambiguously differentiable.
        Returns:
        the string representation of this instance
