<div class="">Also, about using “next”, Austin mentioned something interesting:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><i class="">“… a sequence might actually be a sequence of n random numbers coming out of a PRNG; checking for 'emptiness' by calling 'next' would consume a random number that you couldn't ever get back, even if you called 'next' again using a
different generator.”</i></div>

<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>the `for … each` enumeration in the body of your function also consumes the elements of your sequence :) so I assumed that was an acceptable consequence of applying this function</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>if you’re thinking specifically about checking the first value returned by `next()` for nil and then no longer having it available to test against your predicate, then I was thinking roughly along the lines of something like:</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>```</div>
<div>var generator = self.generate()</div>
<div>
<div>var isPredicateSatisfiedForAllElements = false</div>
<div> </div>
<div>while let element = generator.next() {</div>
<div> isPredicateSatisfiedForAllElements = try predicate(element)</div>
<div> if !isPredicateSatisfiedForAllElements {break}</div>
<div>}</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>return isPredicateSatisfiedForAllElements</div>
</div>
<div>```</div>

I imagine `#underestimateCount()` is going to be your best bet, though you may not always see the results you desire
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">some notes:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1. most would argue that the results you are describing are correct: it is vacuously true that for an empty sequence _every_ element in the sequence will satisfy any predicate you give it</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2. do you have the option to constrain this to CollectionType instead?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">3. one option would be for you to grab the generator and iteratively send it `next()` on your own - that way you could check if it returns `nil` the first time that you call it (i.e. the sequence is empty) and return whatever you desire in that
case</div>
