[erlang-questions] How to make a short circuit in erlang ?

[J K]

Hi,
maybe this would work?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_function


or_else([], _) -> false; or_else([F | Fs], X) -> or_else(Fs, X, F(X)). or_else(Fs, X, false) -> or_else(Fs, X); or_else(Fs, _, {false, Y}) -> or_else(Fs, Y); or_else(_, _, R) -> R. or_else([fun erlang:is_integer/1, fun erlang:is_atom/1, fun erlang:is_list/1],3.23).



Johan
