some

The some() method checks whether at least one element of an array satisfies a given condition.

Interactive example

Syntax

Classic signature

function some<
	GenericInput extends readonly unknown[]
>(
	input: GenericInput, 
	predicate: (
		element: GenericInput[number], 
		params: ArraySomeParams<GenericInput>
	) => boolean
): boolean

Curried signature

function some<
	GenericInput extends readonly unknown[]
>(
predicate: (
	element: GenericInput[number], 
	params: ArraySomeParams<GenericInput>
) => boolean
): (array: GenericInput) => boolean

Helper parameters

interface ArraySomeParams<
	GenericInputArray extends readonly unknown[]
> {
    index: number;
    self: GenericInputArray;
}

Parameters

• input: The array to test.
• predicate: Predicate function that tests each element. Receives the element, its index, and the whole array.
• params.index: Position of the current element.
• params.self: The whole array (useful to compare the position or access a neighbor).

Return value

true if at least one element satisfies the condition, false otherwise.
