Arr.some()
arr.some() function check whether at least one of the elements of the array satisfies the condition checked by the argument function. The syntax of the function is as follows:
arr.some(arg_function(element, index, array), thisArg)
Arguments
The argument of this function is another function that defines the condition to be checked for each element of the array. This function itself takes three arguments:
- array
- index
- element
This is the array on which the .some() function was called.
This is the index of the current element being processed by the function.
This is the current element being processed by the function.
Another argument this Value is used to tell the function to use this value when executing argument function.
Return value
This function returns true even if one of the elements of the array satisfies the condition(and does not check the remaining values) implemented by the argument function. If no element of the array satisfies the condition then it returns false.
Examples for the above function are provided below:
Example 1:
function isGreaterThan5(element, index, array) { return element > 5; } print([2, 5, 8, 1, 4].some(isGreaterThan5));
Output:
true
In this example the function some() checks for any number that is greater than 5. Since there exists element that satisfy this condition, thus the function returns true.
Example 2:
function isGreaterThan5(element, index, array) { return element > 5; } print([-2, 5, 3, 1, 4].some(isGreaterThan5));
Output:
false
In this example the function some() checks for any number that is greater than 5. Since there exists no elements that satisfy this condition, thus the function returns false.
Example 3:
var arr = [2, 5, 8, 1, 4] function checkAvailability(arr, val) { return arr.some( function(arrVal) { return val === arrVal; } ); } print(checkAvailability(arr, 2)); print(checkAvailability(arr, 87));
Output:
true false
In this example the function some() checks for 2 and 87 in the array. Since only 2 is available therefore the function returns true for first query while it returns false for second query.
Codes for the above function are provided below:
Program 1:
<script> // JavaScript to illustrate lastIndexOf() function function isGreaterThan5(element, index, array) { return element > 5; } function func() { // Original array var array = [2, 5, 8, 1, 4]; // Checking for condition in array var value = array.some(isGreaterThan5); document.write(value); } func(); </script> |
Output:
true
Program 2:
// JavaScript to illustrate lastIndexOf() function <script> function isGreaterThan5(element, index, array) { return element > 5; } function func() { // Original array var array = [-2, 5, 3, 1, 4]; // Checking for condition in the array var value = array.some(isGreaterThan5); document.write(value); } func(); </script> |
Output:
false
Program 3:
<script> // JavaScript to illustrate some() function function checkAvailability(arr, val) { return arr.some( function (arrVal) { return val === arrVal; }); } function func() { // Original function var arr = [2, 5, 8, 1, 4] // Checking for condition document.write(checkAvailability(arr, 2)); document.write( "<br>" ); document.write(checkAvailability(arr, 87)); } func(); </script> |
Output:
true false
