public final Class OptionalDouble

Class Inheritance
Annotations
@ValueBased
Imports
java.util.function.DoubleConsumer, .DoubleSupplier, .Supplier, java.util.stream.DoubleStream

A container object which may or may not contain a double 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

OptionalDouble 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 OptionalDouble should never itself be null; it should always point to an OptionalDouble instance.

Constructor Detail

OptionalDoubleback to summary
private OptionalDouble()

Construct an empty instance.

Implementation Note

generally only one empty instance, OptionalDouble#EMPTY, should exist per VM.

OptionalDoubleback to summary
private OptionalDouble(double value)

Construct an instance with the described value.

Parameters
value:double

the double value to describe.

Method Detail

emptyback to summary
public static OptionalDouble empty()

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

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 OptionalDouble.empty(). There is no guarantee that it is a singleton. Instead, use isEmpty() or isPresent().

Returns:OptionalDouble

an empty OptionalDouble.

equalsback to summary
public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides java.lang.Object.equals.

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

  • it is also an OptionalDouble and;
  • both instances have no value present or;
  • the present values are "equal to" each other via Double.compare() == 0.
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
getAsDoubleback to summary
public double getAsDouble()

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

API Note

The preferred alternative to this method is orElseThrow().

Returns:double

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.

toStringback to summary
public String toString()
