# Use Next

#### Sourcery refactoring id: `use-next`

#### Description

Use the built-in function
[`next`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#next) instead of a
for-loop.

#### Before

```python
def get_first_even_number(numbers):
    for number in numbers:
        if number % 2 == 0:
            return number
    return None
```

#### After

```python
def get_first_even_number(numbers):
    return next((number for number in numbers if number % 2 == 0), None)
```

#### Explanation

When choosing the first item from an iterable that passes a condition, we can
use the `next` built-in function instead of a for-loop to make our code and our
intent clearer.
