- Some must be followed by a variable. The variable is then wrapped into an optional and the optional is returned.
- There must be a space between the `some` and the variable.
#### `exists`
Exists is a keyword that is used to check weather an optional variable contains a value or not.
```
let optional: i32? = something();
if (optional exists) {
// optional contains a value
} else {
// optional is empty.
}
let op_exists: boolean = optional exists;
```
- Unlike `unwrap` and `some`, `exists` must follow the optional value. Exists-keyword then returns the result as a boolean.
- There must be a space between the optional and `exists`
- If `exists` is after a non-optional variable, an exeption occurs.
#### `empty`
Empty is the keyword used to set an optional as empty (to not contain a value).
```
let optional: i32? = empty;
if (optional exists) {
if (optional?) {
// Never executed
} else {
// Executed, since optional is empty
