resultthat

Resultthat is a neologism that has appeared in informal discussions and code examples to denote a predicate-based check on a computation’s result. Because it is not a standard term in major reference works, its meaning varies across contexts and practitioners.

Etymology and usage

The name resultthat blends the words “result” and “that” to form a readable, sentence-like identifier. In practice, it is used as either a function name or an assertion style phrase in examples rather than as a formal concept with a single, universal definition. The most common interpretations treat resultthat as a higher-order construct that evaluates whether a given value satisfies a specified condition.

In programming

In hypothetical or illustrative code, resultthat may be defined as a function that takes a value and a predicate and returns a boolean indicating whether the value meets the condition. For example, resultThat(value, isPositive) would yield true if value is greater than zero. Some testing and property-based frameworks describe similar ideas under different names, using a pattern where a result is checked against a predicate to drive assertions or test properties.

In data processing and APIs

The term is sometimes used informally to describe filtering or querying patterns where the goal is to obtain or verify only those results that satisfy a given predicate. In this sense, resultthat resembles a conceptual operation rather than a standardized API, and it often appears in documentation or examples as a readable shorthand.

Notes

Resultthat is not widely adopted as a formal term. Readers encountering it should look for the surrounding context to determine whether it denotes a function, an assertion style, or a filtering concept in that particular material.
