// The Option Type

//=================

// in Java, if something unusually happens, you return null or 

// raise an exception

//

//in Scala you use Options instead

//   - if the value is present, you use Some(value)

//   - if no value is present, you use None

List(5,6,7,8,9).find(_ < 4)

// better error handling with Options (no exceptions)

//

//  Try(something).getOrElse(what_to_do_in_case_of_an_exception)
