Optional Vs Null Check

The purpose of Optional is not to replace every single null reference in your codebase but rather to help design better APIs in which—just by reading the signature of a method—users can tell whether to expect an optional value. In addition, Optional forces you to actively unwrap an Optional to deal with the absence of a value; as a result, you protect your code against unintended null pointer exceptions.



String version = computer.getSoundcard().getUSB().getVersion();

This code can lead to NullPointerException.

Handle NullPointerException - This code looks ugly.

String version = "UNKNOWN";
if(computer != null){
  Soundcard soundcard = computer.getSoundcard();
  if(soundcard != null){
    USB usb = soundcard.getUSB();
    if(usb != null){
      version = usb.getVersion();
    }
  }
}

String name = computer.flatMap(Computer::getSoundcard)
                          .flatMap(Soundcard::getUSB)
                          .map(USB::getVersion)
                          .orElse("UNKNOWN");

Important Linux Commands

  ls -lrt → command lists the contents of the directory with all the details, in reverse order of their modification time (older files will be displayed first) ls -lrth → This will list the contents of the current directory showing more information and sorting them so the most recently modified file will be displayed last. The h flag makes the file sizes more human friendly! chmod 755 <name> → chmod 755 sets the 755 permission for a file. 755 means full permissions for the owner and read and execute permission for others. ln -s 14.9.0-SNAPSHOT current → Create a current tag and mapped to current version. To link files in the same directory Update Any File → sed -i 's/10.46.87.148/10.46.87.115/g' journal.sch textToFind → 10.46.87.148 replaceText → 10.46.87.115 FileName → journal.sch . SED is a text stream editor used on Unix systems to edit files quickly and efficiently Untar a tar file → tar -xvzf filename.tar Rmove a folder → rm -r folderName netstat -anpe | grep ...
