Java has no Elvis operator (or null coalescing operator / null-safe member selection) but with lambda expressions / method references you can roll your own.

Java lacks a native null-safe member selection operator (informally called the Pirate-Elvis operator, ?.), but you can emulate it using Java 8 features. Two approaches are shown: wrapping values in Optional and chaining .map() calls with method references, or writing overloaded utility methods (applyNullCoalescing) that accept a target and a series of Function references, short-circuiting on null. Both approaches avoid verbose null-check chains while keeping the code readable.
