``++Optional++`` value can hold either a value or not. The value held in the ``++Optional++`` can be accessed using the ``++get()++`` method, but it will throw a
``++NoSuchElementException++`` if there is no value present. To avoid the exception, calling the ``++isPresent()++`` or ``++! isEmpty()++`` method should always be done before any call to ``++get()++``.
Alternatively, note that other methods such as ``++orElse(...)++``, ``++orElseGet(...)++`` or ``++orElseThrow(...)++`` can be used to specify what to do with an empty ``++Optional++``.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
Optional<String> value = this.getOptionalValue();
// ...
String stringValue = value.get(); // Noncompliant
----
== Compliant Solution
----
Optional<String> value = this.getOptionalValue();
// ...
if (value.isPresent()) {
String stringValue = value.get();
}
----
or
----
Optional<String> value = this.getOptionalValue();
// ...
String stringValue = value.orElse("default");
