In this episode, we take a deep dive into Optional in Java—a feature introduced in Java 8 to help developers write more null-safe and cleaner code. Learn what Optional is, why it was introduced, and how it helps reduce the risk of NullPointerException. We explore its core methods like isPresent(), ifPresent(), orElse(), and how to use Optional effectively in real-world projects. Whether you’re a beginner or preparing for Java interviews, this episode will help you master Optional and adopt better coding practices.#Pithoracademy#JavaPodcast #JavaOptional #Java8Features #NullSafety #CleanCode #LearnJava #JavaDevelopment #ModernJava #JavaBestPractices #JavaInterviewPrep
