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.
