class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Optional<String> stringOptional = Optional.ofNullable(“value1”); stringOptional.map(value -> value.concat(“234”)) .ifPresent(System.out::println); } } Output: value1234 2. Using the flatMap() method class Student { private String firstName; private String lastName; private int grade; private Optional<String> address; public Student(String firstName, String lastName, int grade) { this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName;…
