Java Optionals | Crash Course

Java Optionals allows you to eliminate NullPointerExceptions throughout your codebase and create client AP's that are easy to interpret what is provided and what might be provided.
The benefits of optionals are:
➡️ Declarative programming ✅
➡️ Clarifies Intent ✅
➡️ Removes Uncertainty ✅
➡️ Functional Programming ✅

Even for not native english speackers, your classes are very useful. You are a fantastic teacher. Health, love, peace and success!

I have never seen anyone so clear in teaching. You are born talented.

Thanks buddy

Thank you!

Thank you Nazarri

Brother , you are a good teacher.

[@dangtrithuctran2341]

Hi Amigoscode,
I've just got to know your channel these days and this is a really great channel for me to follow, to be honest. Thank you so much for your time and effort to make your videos.
By the way, during the time watching your videos, I found you used some amazing shortcuts frequently which help to save a lot of coding time. Could your please let me know those shortcuts for:
1. Changing a specific code to method reference, as at 10:07
2. Extracting a variable to hold the value of specific code. For example: List vehicles = abc.getVehicles();
3. Replacing all of a specific text by another at once, as at 3:32
Many thanks

[@amigoscode]

Hi 👋 . Thanks for your comment. Means a lot. So in this course I cover all shortcuts. ruclips.net/video/yefmcX57Eyg/видео.html&t

Also you can see the keyboard shortcuts in the video.

You too Eduardo. Thanks

[@andrenevesjunior5714]

amazing explanation, you should create some playlist related to Collections, data structures and best practices. Thanks bro

[@gillianbc]

Very clearly explained, good examples, thank you. Worth noting that the tutorial is for Java 11. Optionals were introduced in Java 8 but with fewer features e.g. no isEmpty()

[@amigoscode]

Yup absolutely right

[@uzairtext4610]

Also ifPresentOrElse(); is not is java 8, The LTS version of java widely used ...!!!

[@victoryb.5437]

Very well explained. Thank you for clarifying why it's beneficial to use. I feel like a lot of videos jump right over that.

Thank you Nelson for your valuable tutorial. I wish I knew you when I first started the java course.

[@vdeschuy190]

At 14:25 on line 17 when you are doing the ifPresent check, what is the difference between that and the null check at 0:20, which was a code smell?

[@enlightened7354]

It seems oracle dudes love to make code look more difficult or instead of making code leas they love to make it too much. I say about dev of oracle. No doubts android leaving java . With all respect im a /learning java too. Why oracle wants code look verbose?

[@mikitamaskaliou7645]

Cool explanation. Thank you😊

[@erickballesteros4531]

love the new info... I actually had a ton of repetitive code that could've been solved with this

[@jopadjr]

Thanks for the tutorial mate.. Cheers

[@emm_arr]

I think this is clear ... and thank you. But I have to observe that as I write a lot of methods that return null as a fallback, explicit null checks are easy and often absolutely necessary depending upon what you need a program to do.

hello , so whats the use of optional.of() if it does not able to handle null.

[@jaylawlmc1915]

great tutorial indeed, but im having a hard time finding the holy grail of a tutorial that lets it click inside of me as to why optionals are *that* much better than null checks. i just don't get it :|

[@trex4815]

I feel optional is mainly useful when we are dealing with chain of operations. Like chaining filter, map,flat-map operations on an optional object. Even if output of one stage is an empty object, it won't throw a runtime exception at next stage when we are calling a function on the empty object. So we do not need to check for exception at every stage. At the end we could use ifpresent method. this is the only scenario where i found this to be a bit useful compared to null check.

[@cordovajose5693]

It was added (along with a lot of other stuff) to support functional programming.

[@sdmj730]

Thanks brother......

[@akhil4519]

How do you write a null and empty check for a string using optional ?

[@davidleonardobernal61]

Hello, is it a good practice to pass options as a parameter?

[@zman14859]

Good explanation but, what if I want to return "Person"? How will that work with nullable?
So say I make a get request and in the DB, no "Person" might exist

[@inakiarias7465]

Optional obj = Optional.ofNullable(db.getPerson());
Something like that..?

[@alirez.rahimi]

thank you

[@SuperSilverJay]

So does this mean that imperative programming is becoming null?

[@amigoscode]

No and never but sometimes there things that can be improved using functional programming

[@SuperSilverJay]

Amigoscode oh okay that’s good to know. Are there any projects you’d recommend doing to practice streams/functional programming?

ArrayList list=new ArrayList();

list.add("Grapes");
Optional list1=Optional.ofNullable(list);
list1.filter((item)->{ System.out.println(item); return true;}) or ist1.map((item)->{ System.out.println(item); return item;})
is there any way with filter and map of optional to iterate one by one on array element when i using this it returning me the whole array.

[@NeusaLopesdeMendonca]

NelsonI like your tutorials man, but this one was messy. You didnt get to the basic fact that Optionals have a main purpose of telling the user that a value being returned might be null and he has to deal with it.
