#1998 — HoldAll/HoldRest // updated

Fixing small but important typos from email of a few minutes ago.... and re-posting:



Some kind of issue going on here between the interactions of HoldAll and HoldRest of ValueQ[...], If[...], and Function[...]. Anyone know the solution so that Out[3] results in 5?



In[1]:= valueQ = If[ValueQ[#], #, False] &



Out[1]= If[ValueQ[#1], #1, False] &



In[2]:= x = 5



Out[2]= 5



In[3]:= valueQ[x]



Out[3]= False



In[4]:= If[ValueQ[x], x, False]



Out[4]= 5
