OptionalBoolean (NoException 1.6.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.machinezoo.noexception.optional.OptionalBoolean

```
public final class OptionalBoolean
extends Object
```
A container object which may or may not contain a boolean value. If value is present, isPresent() will return true and getAsBoolean() will return the value.
Additional methods that depend on the presence or absence of a contained value are provided, such as orElse(boolean) (return a default value if value is not present) and ifPresent(IntConsumer) (execute a block of code if the value is present).

`boolean`	`isPresent()` Returns `true` if there is a value present, otherwise `false`.

`boolean`	`orElse(boolean other)` Returns the value if present, otherwise returns `other`.
`boolean`	`orElseGet(BooleanSupplier other)` Returns the value if present, otherwise invokes `other` and returns the result of that invocation.
`boolean`	`orElseThrow()` Returns the contained value if present, otherwise throws `NoSuchElementException`.
`<X extends Throwable> boolean`	`orElseThrow(Supplier<X> exceptionSupplier)` Returns the contained value, if present, otherwise throws an exception created by the provided supplier.
`IntStream`	`stream()` If a value is present, returns the value in a stream, otherwise returns an empty stream.

  - empty
```
public static OptionalBoolean empty()
```
    Returns an empty OptionalBoolean instance. No value is present for this OptionalBoolean. There is only one instance of empty OptionalBoolean.
    
    Returns:
    
    an empty OptionalBoolean
  - of
```
public static OptionalBoolean of(boolean value)
```
    Returns an OptionalBoolean with the specified value present. There are only two global instances of OptionalBoolean with value present. This method just returns one of them.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - - the value to be present
    
    Returns:
    
    an OptionalBoolean with the value present
  - isPresent
```
public boolean isPresent()
```
    Returns true if there is a value present, otherwise false.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if there is a value present, otherwise false
  - getAsBoolean
```
public boolean getAsBoolean()
```
    If a value is present in this OptionalBoolean, returns the value, otherwise throws NoSuchElementException.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value held by this OptionalBoolean
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchElementException - if there is no value present
    
    See Also:
    
    isPresent()
  - orElse
```
public boolean orElse(boolean other)
```
    Returns the value if present, otherwise returns other.
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - the value to be returned if there is no value present
    
    Returns:
    
    the value, if present, otherwise other
  - orElseGet
```
public boolean orElseGet(BooleanSupplier other)
```
    Returns the value if present, otherwise invokes other and returns the result of that invocation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - a BooleanSupplier whose result is returned if no value is present
    
    Returns:
    
    the value if present, otherwise the result of other.getAsBoolean()
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if value is not present and other is null
  - orElseThrow
```
public <X extends Throwable> boolean orElseThrow(Supplier<X> exceptionSupplier)
                                          throws X extends Throwable
```
    Returns the contained value, if present, otherwise throws an exception created by the provided supplier. A method reference to the exception constructor with an empty argument list can be used as the supplier. For example, IllegalStateException::new.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    X - type of the exception to be thrown
    
    Parameters:
    
    exceptionSupplier - the supplier which will return the exception to be thrown
    
    Returns:
    
    the present value
    
    Throws:
    
    X - if there is no value present
    
    NullPointerException - if no value is present and exceptionSupplier is null
    
    X extends Throwable
  - orElseThrow
```
public boolean orElseThrow()
```
    Returns the contained value if present, otherwise throws NoSuchElementException.
    
    Returns:
    
    the present value
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchElementException - if there is no value present
  - stream
```
public IntStream stream()
```
    If a value is present, returns the value in a stream, otherwise returns an empty stream. There is no BooleanStream in JDK. The boolean value is therefore widened to int and returned in an IntStream. Value of true is widened to 1, false to 0.
    
    Returns:
    
    the optional value as an IntStream
  - ifPresent
```
public void ifPresent(IntConsumer action)
```
    If a value is present, passes the value to the provided consumer, otherwise does nothing. There is no BooleanConsumer in JDK. The boolean value is therefore widened to int and passed to IntConsumer. Value of true is widened to 1, false to 0.
    
    Parameters:
    
    action - code to be executed if a value is present
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if value is present and action is null
  - ifPresentOrElse
```
public void ifPresentOrElse(IntConsumer action,
                            Runnable emptyAction)
```
    If a value is present, passes the value to the provided consumer, otherwise executes the provided action. There is no BooleanConsumer in JDK. The boolean value is therefore widened to int and passed to IntConsumer. Value of true is widened to 1, false to 0.
    
    Parameters:
    
    action - code to be executed if a value is present
    
    emptyAction - code to be executed if no value is present
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if value is present and action is null
  - toInt
```
public OptionalInt toInt()
```
    Widens the optional boolean value to OptionalInt. JDK consistently uses OptionalInt where OptionalBoolean would be semantically correct. This class can consequently cause compatibility problems with other code that expects OptionalInt. This method widens the boolean value to int as wrapped in OptionalInt to improve compatibility. Value of true is widened to 1, false to 0.
    
    Returns:
    
    the optional value converted to OptionalInt
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this OptionalBoolean. The other object is considered equal if it is also an OptionalBoolean and both instances have no value present or the present values are the same.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - an object to be tested for equality
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the other object is "equal to" this object, otherwise false
    
    See Also:
    
    hashCode()
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code value of the present value, if any, or zero if no value is present.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    hash code value of the present value of 0 if no value is present
    
    See Also:
    
    equals(Object), Boolean.hashCode()
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns string representation of this instance suitable for debugging. In the current implementation, one of the strings empty, true, or false is returned.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    the string representation of this instance
