first multimethod

Methods

first(e:Eachable1, predicate:Any, default:Any) Source: stdlib.ngs:346

Find first element in e that satisfies the predicate.

Returns

Either the element or the provided default if element was not found.

Example

(10..20).first(F(x) x % 3 == 0)        # 12 - first item divisible by 3
(10..20).first(F(x) x % 50 == 0, 1000) # 1000

first(e:Eachable1, predicate:Any) Source: stdlib.ngs:362

Find first element in e that satisfies the predicate. Throws ElementNotFound exception if no such element is found.

Returns

The element.

Example

(10..20).first(F(x) x % 3 == 0)  # 12 - first item divisible by 3
(10..20).first(F(x) x % 50 == 0) # ElementNotFound exception

first(e:Eachable1) Source: stdlib.ngs:377

Find first element in e that satisfies Bool(e) == true. Exactly same as first(e, identity).

Example

[false, 0, null, "xyz", 100].first()  # "xyz"
[].first()                            # ElementNotFound exception
