    The example is simplified, but I dislike returning null in my own code. The function will always execute, left or right doesn’t matter it’s mapped across in the ResultObject class.

    The function must return an IResult<T>, the ResultObject analyzes the IResult<T> checking for IFail or IOk. If it’s IOk the value of type T is retrieved from the Value property of the IOk<T> object and returned, the Some property defaults to true. If the IResult<T> is an IFail, Some is set to false, it copies the message from the IFail object into the ResultObject, and returns the value the was supplied to its constructor.

    I’m just sharing something I find useful, and I hope I can make it useful for others as well. Thanks for the questions.
