Optional Class

 Optional is a container object which may or may not contain a non-null value.
 Purpose of Optional class is to provide a type-level solution for representing optional values
instead of null references.
 Optional class has the following methods.

static <T> Optional<T> empty();

static <T> Optional<T> of(T);
static <T> Optional<T> ofNullable(T);

T get();
boolean isPresent();
T orElse(T);

void ifPresent(Consumer<? super T>);

Optional<T> filter(Predicate<? super T>);

Optional<U> map(Function<? super T, ? extends U>);

Optional<U> flatMap(Function<? super T, Optional<U>>);

T orElseGet(Supplier<? extends T>);

T orElseThrow(Supplier<? extends X>) throws X;
