Returns the non-null value of a simple nullable type.

Expression	Result
int? with the value null	0

The value of the current nullable object is returned if it has been assigned a valid underlying value - otherwise, 0 is returned.

Some expressions may require a non-null value and yet your attribute is a nullable type. A scenario like this is catered for in the MDriven OCL expressions.

.Value is available for all number types including Integer, Decimal, Double, and Int64.

For example:

To calculate the Total Price of all products use:

Product.allinstances.Price->sum.Value

or:

Product.allinstances->collect(i|i.Price.Value)->sum

This will ensure a value is always returned by the expression, either when there are no product instances or the product price is not set for all instances.

Summary table:

Nullable Value	Result of .Value
null	0
5	5
12.5	12.5

It helps prevent errors in OCL when using nullable numbers.
