0 1 1 minute read

The orElse(long) method helps us to get the value in this OptionalLong object. If a value is not present in this OptionalLong, then this method returns the value passed as the parameter.

Syntax:

public long orElse(long other)

Parameters: This method accepts long the value to be returned, if no value is present.

Return value: This method returns the value, if present, otherwise other. Below programs illustrate orElse( long ) method:

Program 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// OptionalLong.orElse(long) method
 
import java.util.OptionalLong;
 
public class GFG {
 
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // create a OptionalLong
        OptionalLong opLong = OptionalLong.of(452146);
 
        // get value using orElse
        long value = opLong.orElse(13421);
 
        // print value
        System.out.println("value: " + value);
    }
}

Output:

value: 452146

Program 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// OptionalLong.orElse(long) method
 
import java.util.OptionalLong;
 
public class GFG {
 
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // create a OptionalLong
        OptionalLong opLong = OptionalLong.empty();
 
        // get value using orElse
        long value = opLong.orElse(13421);
 
        // print value
        System.out.println("value: " + value);
    }
}
