Exam 1z0-830 Topic 1 Question 29 Discussion

Actual exam question for Oracle's 1z0-830 exam
Question #: 29
Topic #: 1
Given:
java
Optional o1 = Optional.empty();
Optional o2 = Optional.of(1);
Optional o3 = Stream.of(o1, o2)
.filter(Optional::isPresent)
.findAny()
.flatMap(o -> o);
System.out.println(o3.orElse(2));
What is the given code fragment's output?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

In this code, two Optional objects are created:
* o1 is an empty Optional.
* o2 is an Optional containing the integer 1.
A stream is created from o1 and o2. The filter method retains only the Optional instances that are present (i.e., non-empty). This results in a stream containing only o2.
The findAny method returns an Optional describing some element of the stream, or an empty Optional if the stream is empty. Since the stream contains o2, findAny returns Optional[Optional[1]].
The flatMap method is then used to flatten this nested Optional. It applies the provided mapping function (o -
> o) to the value, resulting in Optional[1].
Finally, o3.orElse(2) returns the value contained in o3 if it is present; otherwise, it returns 2. Since o3 contains
1, the output is 1.
