OptionalLong (Java Platform SE 8 ) (original) (raw)
- 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()
will return true
andgetAsLong()
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) andifPresent() (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 ofOptionalLong
may have unpredictable results and should be avoided.

1.8

Method Detail
* #### empty public static [OptionalLong](../../java/util/OptionalLong.html "class in java.util") 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()](../../java/util/OptionalLong.html#isPresent--). Returns: an empty `OptionalLong`. * #### of public static [OptionalLong](../../java/util/OptionalLong.html "class in java.util") 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: `[NoSuchElementException](../../java/util/NoSuchElementException.html "class in java.util")` \- if there is no value present See Also: [isPresent()](../../java/util/OptionalLong.html#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](../../java/util/function/LongConsumer.html "interface in java.util.function") 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: `[NullPointerException](../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang")` \- 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](../../java/util/function/LongSupplier.html "interface in java.util.function") 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: `[NullPointerException](../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang")` \- if value is not present and `other` is null * #### orElseThrow public <X extends [Throwable](../../java/lang/Throwable.html "class in java.lang")> long orElseThrow([Supplier](../../java/util/function/Supplier.html "interface in java.util.function")<X> exceptionSupplier) throws X 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 `[NullPointerException](../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang")` \- if no value is present and`exceptionSupplier` is null `X extends [Throwable](../../java/lang/Throwable.html "class in java.lang")` * #### equals public boolean equals([Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang") 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](../../java/lang/Object.html#equals-java.lang.Object-)` in class `[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")` Parameters: `obj` \- an object to be tested for equality Returns: {code true} if the other object is "equal to" this object otherwise `false` See Also: [Object.hashCode()](../../java/lang/Object.html#hashCode--), [HashMap](../../java/util/HashMap.html "class in java.util") * #### 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](../../java/lang/Object.html#hashCode--)` in class `[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")` Returns: hash code value of the present value or 0 if no value is present See Also: [Object.equals(java.lang.Object)](../../java/lang/Object.html#equals-java.lang.Object-), [System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)](../../java/lang/System.html#identityHashCode-java.lang.Object-) * #### toString public [String](../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") toString() Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the`toString` method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method. The `toString` method for class `Object` returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character \` `@`', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of: > getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode()) > 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. Overrides: `[toString](../../java/lang/Object.html#toString--)` in class `[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")` 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. Returns: the string representation of this instance
