Title
Body
I have the following problem in scala. I have to find the first element in al list which satisfies a predicate function with two conditions in OR. The problem is that I would like to get the element but also know which of the two conditions has been satisfied. Here is a simple example: val l1 = List("A", "B", "AA", "BB") val l2 = List("AA", "BB", "A", "B") def c1(s: String) = s.startsWith("B") def c2(s: String) = s.length == 2 println(l1.find(s => c1(s) || c2(s))) println(l2.find(s => c1(s) || c2(s))) result is: Some(B) Some(AA) For the l1 case I would like to have some return value (a String for example) indicating that c1 was satisfied (c2 for the l2 case). A possible solution could be to define a var before the test and set it within the c1 and c2 functions, but I would like to find a more "functional style" solution, maybe something that return a Tuple like: (element found, condition satisfied). Thanks in advance for the help
