## Usage

```javascript
var someByRight = require( '@stdlib/utils/some-by-right' );
```

#### someByRight( collection, n, predicate\[, thisArg ] )

Tests whether a `collection` contains at least `n` elements which pass a test implemented by a `predicate` function, iterating from right to left.

```javascript
function isNegative( value ) {
    return ( value < 0 );
}

var arr = [ -1, 1, -2, 3, 4 ];

var bool = someByRight( arr, 2, isNegative );
// returns true
```

Once the function finds `n` successful elements, the function **immediately** returns `true`.

```javascript
function isNegative( value ) {
    if ( value > 0 ) {
        throw new Error( 'should never reach this line' );
    }
    return ( value < 0 );
}

var arr = [ -1, 2, -3, -4 ];

var bool = someByRight( arr, 2, isNegative );
// returns true
```

The invoked `function` is provided three arguments:

-   `value`: collection element
-   `index`: collection index
-   `collection`: input collection

To set the function execution context, provide a `thisArg`.

```javascript
function sum( value ) {
    this.sum += value;
    this.count += 1;
    return ( value < 0 );
}

var arr = [ -5, 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var context = {
    'sum': 0,
    'count': 0
};

var bool = someByRight( arr, 1, sum, context );
// returns true

var mean = context.sum / context.count;
// returns 1.0
```

## Notes

-   A `collection` may be either an [`Array`][mdn-array], [`Typed Array`][mdn-typed-array], or an array-like [`Object`][mdn-object] (excluding `strings` and `functions`).

-   If provided an empty collection, the function returns `false`.

    ```javascript
    function alwaysTrue() {
        return true;
    }
    var bool = someByRight( [], 1, alwaysTrue );
    // returns false
    ```

-   The function does **not** skip `undefined` elements.

    <!-- eslint-disable no-sparse-arrays, stdlib/doctest-marker -->

    ```javascript
    function log( value, index ) {
        console.log( '%s: %s', index, value );
        return ( value < 0 );
    }

    var arr = [ -1, 1, , , 4 ];

    var bool = someByRight( arr, 1, log );
    /* =>
        4: 4
        3: undefined
        2: undefined
        1: 1
        0: -1
    */
    ```

-   The function provides limited support for dynamic collections (i.e., collections whose `length` changes during execution). Note, however, that index incrementation is **not** guaranteed to be monotonically **decreasing**.

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var someByRight = require( '@stdlib/utils/some-by-right' );

function threshold( value ) {
    return ( value > 0.95 );
}

var bool;
var arr;
var i;

arr = new Array( 100 );
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
    arr[ i ] = randu();
}

bool = someByRight( arr, 5, threshold );
// returns <boolean>
```
