singleE method
Returns the single element in the element, optionally matching a
condition
.
If condition
is omitted, singleE will return the single value in this
enumerable. If the enumerable is empty, or if the enumerable contains more
than one element, an EnumerableError is thrown.
In this scenario, the singleE function will short-circuit after iterating a maximum of two elements into the enumerable.
If condition
is supplied, singleE will iterate over the entire
enumerable, applying the condition
function to each element. At the end
of the iteration, if a single element matches the condition
, that element
is returned. If no elements match the condition
, or if more than one
element matches the condition
, an EnumerableError is thrown.
In this scenario, the singleE function will short-circuit after finding a
second element that matches the condition
. In the worst-case scenario,
singleE will iterate over the entire enumerable.
