How to check whether an Integer is null or zero in Java?

Question

Is there more concise way to write:

if (myInteger != null && myInteger != 0) { ... } 

For example, for Strings you can use StringUtils.isBlank()

Answer 1

With Java 8:

if (Optional.ofNullable(myInteger).orElse(0) != 0) {   ... } 

Note that Optional may help you to completely avoid the if condition at all, depending on your use case...
