Un-optioning an optioned Option

Question

Say I have a val s: Option[Option[String]]. It can thus have the following values:

Some(Some(\"foo\")) Some(None) None

Answer 1

I think the conversion to the Iterable is just fine. Use these steps to go from Option[Option[String] to a single Option[String]

s.flatten.headOption 

(which returns Option[String])
