How can I call a sequence of functions until the return value meets some condition?

Question

Sometimes I find myself writing code like this:

def analyse(somedata):
    result = bestapproach(somedata)
    if result:
        return result
    else:
            


        

Answer 1

If the number of functions is not too high, why not use the or operator ?

d = 'somedata'
result = f1(d) or f2(d) or f3(d) or f4(d)

It will only apply the functions until one of them returns something not False.
