OptionalInt orElseThrow() method in Java with examples

OptionalInt help us to create an object which may or may not contain a Int value. The orElseThrow() method help us to get the int value and if int value is not present then this method will throw NoSuchElementException. Syntax:

public Int orElseThrow()

Parameters: This method accepts nothing. Return value: This method returns the Int value described by this OptionalInt. Exception: This method throws NoSuchElementException if no value is present Below programs illustrate orElseThrow() method: Program 1: 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// OptionalInt.orElseThrow() method
 
import java.util.OptionalInt;
 
public class GFG {
 
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // create a OptionalInt
        OptionalInt opInt = OptionalInt.of(12345);
 
        // get value using orElseThrow()
        System.out.println("int Value extracted using"
                           + " orElseThrow() = "
                           + opInt.orElseThrow());
    }
}


Output:

int Value extracted using orElseThrow() = 12345

Program 2: 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// OptionalInt.orElseThrow() method
 
import java.util.OptionalInt;
 
public class GFG {
 
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // create a OptionalInt
        OptionalInt opInt = OptionalInt.empty();
 
        try {
 
            // try to get value from empty OptionalInt
            int value = opInt.orElseThrow();
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
 
            System.out.println("Exception thrown : "
                               + e);
