Class OptionalLong

java.lang.Object

java.util.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; programmers should treat instances that are equal as interchangeable and should not use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail.

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 Details

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 == or != against instances returned by OptionalLong.empty(). There is no guarantee that it is a singleton. Instead, use isEmpty() or isPresent().

Returns:

an empty OptionalLong.

of

public static OptionalLong of(long value)

Returns an OptionalLong describing the given value.

Parameters:

value - the value to describe

Returns:

an OptionalLong with the value present

getAsLong

public long getAsLong()

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 OptionalLong

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(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

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 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)
 

Returns:

the optional value as an LongStream

Since:

9

orElse

public long orElse(long 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 long orElseGet(LongSupplier 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 long orElseThrow()

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

Returns:

the value described by this OptionalLong

Throws:

NoSuchElementException - if no value is present

Since:

10

orElseThrow

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

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

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

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 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
