public final Class OptionalInt

Class Inheritance
Annotations
@ValueBased
Imports
java.util.function.IntConsumer, .IntSupplier, .Supplier, java.util.stream.IntStream

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; 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

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.

Constructor Detail

OptionalIntback to summary
private OptionalInt()

Construct an empty instance.

Implementation Note

Generally only one empty instance, OptionalInt#EMPTY, should exist per VM.

OptionalIntback to summary
private OptionalInt(int value)

Construct an instance with the described value.

Parameters
value:int

the int value to describe

Method Detail

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

Returns:OptionalInt

an empty OptionalInt

equalsback to summary
public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides java.lang.Object.equals.

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 ==.
Parameters
obj:Object

an object to be tested for equality

Returns:boolean

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

Annotations
@Override
getAsIntback to summary
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:int

Exceptions
NoSuchElementException:
if no value is present
hashCodeback to summary
public int hashCode()

Overrides java.lang.Object.hashCode.

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