OptionalLong stream() method in Java with examples

The stream() method help us to get Long value contain by OptionalLong as LongStream.If a value is present, method returns a sequential LongStream containing only that value, otherwise returns an empty LongStream.

Syntax:

public LongStream stream()

Parameters: This method accepts nothing.

Return value: This method returns the optional value as an LongStream.

Below programs illustrate stream() method:
Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// OptionalLong.stream() method

import java.util.OptionalLong;
import java.util.stream.LongStream;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create a OptionalLong
        OptionalLong opLong
            = OptionalLong.of(163252382159472124L);

        // get value as stream
        LongStream out = opLong.stream();

        // print value
        System.out.print("Value: ");
        out.forEach(System.out::print);
    }
}

Output:

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// OptionalLong.stream() method

import java.util.OptionalLong;
import java.util.stream.LongStream;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create a empty OptionalLong
        OptionalLong opLong = OptionalLong.empty();

        // get value as stream
        LongStream out = opLong.stream();

        // print value
        System.out.print("length of Long Stream: "
                         + out.count());
    }
}
