    {
  
        // create a Optional
        Optional<Integer> op
            = Optional.of(9455);
  
        // print value
        System.out.println("Optional: "
                           + op);
  
        // check for the value
        System.out.println("Is any value present: "
                           + op.isPresent());

Program 2:

        // print value
        System.out.println("Optional: "
                           + op);
  
        try {
  
            // check for the value
            System.out.println("Is any value present: "
                               + op.isPresent());
