Evaluates the equivalent of List.exists for an option.

Namespace/Module Path: Microsoft.FSharp.Core.Option

Assembly: FSharp.Core (in FSharp.Core.dll)

// Signature:
exists : ('T -> bool) -> 'T option -> bool

Parameters

  • predicate
    Type: 'T ->bool

    A function that evaluates to a Boolean when given a value from the option type.

  • option

let isValue opt value =
    Option.exists (fun elem -> elem = value) opt
let testOpt1 = Some(10)
let testOpt2 = Some(11)
let testOpt3 = None
printfn "%b" <| isValue testOpt1 10
