Using for expressions in Scala provides a safer and more elegant alternative to multiple getOrElse calls, as they handle errors by short-circuiting.
The for expression remains resilient against incorrect inputs by yielding None without throwing an exception, thus promoting more reliable and readable code.
In the 'Unhappy Path' scenario, the for expression short-circuits gracefully upon encountering invalid input, ensuring the program remains stable and avoids crashes.
Unlike getOrElse that requires explicit handling of missing values, for expressions inherently manage failures, allowing developers to focus on the success path.
