/**
* An immutable object that may contain a non-null reference to another object. Each instance of this type either
* contains a non-null reference, or contains nothing (in which case we say that the reference is "absent"); it is never
* said to "contain {@code null}".
*
* A non-null {@code Optional} reference can be used as a replacement for a nullable {@code T} reference. It
* allows you to represent "a {@code T} that must be present" and a "a {@code T} that might be absent" as two distinct
* types in your program, which can aid clarity.
*
* Some uses of this class include
*
*
- As a method return type, as an alternative to returning {@code null} to indicate that no value was available
*
- To distinguish between "unknown" (for example, not present in a map) and "known to have no value" (present in the
* map, with value {@code Optional.absent()})
- To wrap nullable references for storage in a collection that does not
* support {@code null} (though there are
*
* several other approaches to this that should be considered first)
*
* A common alternative to using this class is to find or create a
* suitable null
* object for the type in question.
*
*
This class is not intended as a direct analogue of any existing "option" or "maybe" construct from other
* programming environments, though it may bear some similarities.
*
*
Comparison to {@code java.util.Optional} (JDK 8 and higher): A new {@code Optional} class was added for
* Java 8. The two classes are extremely similar, but incompatible (they cannot share a common supertype). All
* known differences are listed either here or with the relevant methods below.
*
*
- This class is serializable; {@code java.util.Optional} is not.
- {@code java.util.Optional} has the
* additional methods {@code ifPresent}, {@code filter}, {@code flatMap}, and {@code orElseThrow}.
- {@code java.util}
* offers the primitive-specialized versions {@code OptionalInt}, {@code OptionalLong} and {@code OptionalDouble}, the
* use of which is recommended; Guava does not have these.
*
* There are no plans to deprecate this class in the foreseeable future. However, we do gently recommend that
* you prefer the new, standard Java class whenever possible.
*
*
See the Guava User Guide article on
*
* using {@code Optional}.
*
* @param the type of instance that can be contained. {@code Optional} is naturally covariant on this type, so it is
* safe to cast an {@code Optional} to {@code Optional} for any supertype {@code S} of {@code T}.

*
*
Note about generics: The signature {@code public T or(T defaultValue)} is overly restrictive. However, the ideal
* signature, {@code public S or(S)}, is not legal Java. As a result, some sensible operations involving
* subtypes are compile errors:
* {@code
*
* Optional optionalInt = getSomeOptionalInt();
* Number value = optionalInt.or(0.5); // error
*
* FluentIterable numbers = getSomeNumbers();
* Optional first = numbers.first();
* Number value = first.or(0.5); // error}
*
*
As a workaround, it is always safe to cast an {@code Optional} to {@code Optional}. Casting
* either of the above example {@code Optional} instances to {@code Optional} (where {@code Number} is the
* desired output type) solves the problem:
* {@code
*
* Optional optionalInt = (Optional) getSomeOptionalInt();
* Number value = optionalInt.or(0.5); // fine
*
* FluentIterable numbers = getSomeNumbers();
* Optional first = (Optional) numbers.first();
* Number value = first.or(0.5); // fine}
*
* Comparison to {@code java.util.Optional}: this method is similar to Java 8's {@code Optional.orElse}, but
* will not accept {@code null} as a {@code defaultValue} ({@link #orNull} must be used instead). As a result, the
* value returned by this method is guaranteed non-null, which is not the case for the {@code java.util} equivalent.
