Accesses the expected value contained in *this.

1) Returns a pointer to the contained value.

2) Returns a reference to the contained value.

3) Returns nothing.

The behavior is undefined if this->has_value() is false.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

Pointer or reference to the contained value.
