Type Parameters:

T - see UnaryOperator

All Superinterfaces:

Function<T,Optional<T>>

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
```
@FunctionalInterface
public interface OptionalUnaryOperator<T>
extends Function<T,Optional<T>>
```
Variation of UnaryOperator that returns Optional instead of the raw value. OptionalUnaryOperator is typically obtained from ExceptionHandler.fromUnaryOperator(UnaryOperator), in which case its return value is empty when the underlying UnaryOperator throws an exception. See noexception tutorial.

ExceptionHandler.fromUnaryOperator(UnaryOperator), UnaryOperator

`Optional<T>`	`apply(T operand)`	Variation of `Function.apply(Object)` that returns `Optional`.
`default UnaryOperator<T>`	`orElse(T result)`	Converts this `OptionalUnaryOperator` to plain `UnaryOperator` using default value.

Optional<T> apply(T operand)
```
    Variation of Function.apply(Object) that returns Optional. If this OptionalUnaryOperator is obtained from ExceptionHandler.fromUnaryOperator(UnaryOperator), the Optional will be empty only if the underlying UnaryOperator throws. Otherwise the returned Optional just wraps the return value of underlying UnaryOperator (possibly null).
    
    Specified by:
    
    apply in interface Function<T,Optional<T>>
    
    Parameters:
    
    operand - see Function.apply(Object)
    
    Returns:
    
    Optional typically wrapping return value of Function.apply(Object), or an empty Optional (typically signifying an exception)
    
    See Also:
    
    ExceptionHandler.fromUnaryOperator(UnaryOperator), Function.apply(Object)
  - orElse
```
default UnaryOperator<T> orElse(T result)
```
    Converts this OptionalUnaryOperator to plain UnaryOperator using default value. The returned UnaryOperator will unwrap present value from the Optional if possible, or return result if the Optional is empty.
    
    Parameters:
    
    result - default value to return instead of an empty Optional
    
    Returns:
    
    plain UnaryOperator that either unwraps Optional or returns default value
    
    See Also:
    
    orElseGet(Supplier), Optional.orElse(Object)
  - orElseGet
```
default UnaryOperator<T> orElseGet(Supplier<T> source)
```
    Converts this OptionalUnaryOperator to plain UnaryOperator using fallback Supplier. The returned UnaryOperator will unwrap present value from the Optional if possible, or fall back to calling source if the Optional is empty.
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - Supplier to query for fallback value when Optional is empty
    
    Returns:
    
    plain UnaryOperator that either unwraps Optional or falls back to source
