Scala Iterator find() method with example

The find() method belong to the concrete value members of the class AbstractIterator. It is defined in the class IterableOnceOps. It finds the first element of the stated collection which satisfies the given predicate. It would not terminate for the infinite sized collections.

Method Definition : def find(p: (A) => Boolean): Option[A]

Return Type :It returns an Option value containing the first element of the stated collection that satisfies the used predicate else returns None if none exists.

Example #1:

// Scala program of find()
// method

// Creating object
object GfG
{

    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {

        // Creating an Iterator
        val iter = Iterator(2, 4, 5, 1, 13)

        // Applying find method
        val result= iter.find(x => {x % 2 == 0})

        // Displays output
        println(result)

    }
}

Output:

Some(2)

Example #2:

// Scala program of find()
// method

// Creating object
object GfG
{

    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {

        // Creating an Iterator
        val iter = Iterator(3, 6, 15, 12, 21)

        // Applying find method
        val result= iter.find(x => {x % 3 != 0})

        // Displays output
        println(result)

    }
}

Output:

None
