find()

find(predicate: (value: string) => boolean, from: number): Option<string, boolean>

Returns the value of the first element in the array within Option.some where predicate returns true, and Option.none otherwise.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
predicate(value: string) => booleanfind calls predicate once for each unused ordered parameter, in ascending order, until it finds one where predicate returns true. If such an element is found, find immediately returns a Option.some with that element value. Otherwise, find returns Option.none.
fromnumberThe position where to start looking for unused parameters, defaults to current position.

Returns

Option<string, boolean>

// Suppose args are from 'ba aa cc'.
