Assign value of Optional to a variable if present

Question

Hi I am using Java Optional. I saw that the Optional has a method ifPresent.

Instead of doing something like:

Optional object = someMeth         


        

Answer 1

.findFirst() returns a Optional, but if we add .orElse(null) it returns the get of the optional if isPresent(), that is (MyType), or otherwise a NULL

MyType s = newList.stream().filter(d -> d.num == 0).findFirst().orElse(null);
