|  | * Emits false if the input observable emits any values, or emits true if the | 
|  | * input observable completes without emitting any values. | 
|  | * | 
|  | * <span class="informal">Tells whether any values are emitted by an observable</span> | 
|  | * | 
|  | *  | 
|  | * | 
|  | * `isEmpty` transforms an Observable that emits values into an Observable that | 
|  | * emits a single boolean value representing whether or not any values were | 
|  | * emitted by the source Observable. As soon as the source Observable emits a | 
|  | * value, `isEmpty` will emit a `false` and complete.  If the source Observable | 
|  | * completes having not emitted anything, `isEmpty` will emit a `true` and | 
|  | * complete. | 
|  | * | 
|  | * A similar effect could be achieved with {@link count}, but `isEmpty` can emit | 
|  | * a `false` value sooner. | 
|  | * | 
|  | * ## Examples | 
|  | * | 
|  | * Emit `false` for a non-empty Observable | 
|  | * ```javascript | 
|  | * import { Subject } from 'rxjs'; | 
|  | * import { isEmpty } from 'rxjs/operators'; | 
|  | * | 
|  | * const source = new Subject<string>(); | 
|  | * const result = source.pipe(isEmpty()); | 
|  | * source.subscribe(x => console.log(x)); | 
|  | * result.subscribe(x => console.log(x)); | 
|  | * source.next('a'); | 
|  | * source.next('b'); | 
|  | * source.next('c'); | 
|  | * source.complete(); | 
|  | * | 
|  | * // Results in: | 
|  | * // a | 
|  | * // false | 
|  | * // b | 
|  | * // c | 
|  | * ``` | 
|  | * | 
|  | * Emit `true` for an empty Observable | 
|  | * ```javascript | 
|  | * import { EMPTY } from 'rxjs'; | 
|  | * import { isEmpty } from 'rxjs/operators'; | 
|  | * | 
|  | * const result = EMPTY.pipe(isEmpty()); | 
|  | * result.subscribe(x => console.log(x)); | 
|  | * // Results in: | 
|  | * // true | 
|  | * ``` | 
|  | * | 
|  | * @see {@link count} | 
|  | * @see {@link EMPTY} | 
|  | * | 
|  | * @return {OperatorFunction<T, boolean>} An Observable of a boolean value indicating whether observable was empty or not | 
|  | * @method isEmpty | 
|  | * @owner Observable |
