find()​

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​
