# doWhileEachRight > While a test condition is true, invoke a function for each element in a collection, iterating from right to left.
## Usage ```javascript var doWhileEachRight = require( '@stdlib/utils/do-while-each-right' ); ``` #### doWhileEachRight( collection, fcn, predicate\[, thisArg ] ) Invokes a `function` for each element in a `collection`, iterating from right to left, until either a `predicate` function returns `false` or the function has iterated over all `collection` elements. Note that the condition is evaluated **after** executing `fcn`; thus, `fcn` **always** executes at least once. ```javascript function predicate( value ) { return ( value === value ); } function log( value, index ) { console.log( '%s: %d', index, value ); } var arr = [ 1, NaN, 2, 3, 4 ]; doWhileEachRight( arr, log, predicate ); /* => 4: 4 3: 3 2: 2 1: NaN */ ``` Both the `predicate` function and the `function` to apply are provided three arguments: - `value`: collection element - `index`: collection index - `collection`: input collection If provided an empty `collection`, both `value` and `index` are `undefined`. ```javascript function predicate( value ) { return ( value === value ); } function log( value, index ) { console.log( '%s: %s', index, value ); } var arr = []; doWhileEachRight( arr, log, predicate ); /* => undefined: undefined */ ``` Basic support for dynamic collections is provided. Note, however, that index incrementation is **not** guaranteed to be monotonically **decreasing**. ```javascript var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]; var i = 0; function predicate( value ) { return ( value === value ); } function log1( value, index, collection ) { console.log( '%s: %d', index, value ); i += 1; if ( index === 0 && collection.length < 10 ) { collection.unshift( i+1 ); } } doWhileEachRight( arr, log1, predicate ); /* => 3: 4 2: 3 1: 2 0: 1 0: 5 0: 6 0: 7 0: 8 0: 9 0: 10 */ function log2( value, index, collection ) { console.log( '%s: %d', index, value ); collection.pop(); } arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]; doWhileEachRight( arr, log2, predicate ); /* => 3: 4 1: 2 */ ``` To set the function execution context for the applied function, provide a `thisArg`. ```javascript function predicate( value ) { return ( value > 2 ); } function sum( value ) { this.sum += value; this.count += 1; } var arr = [ 1, NaN, 2, 3, 4 ]; var context = { 'sum': 0, 'count': 0 }; doWhileEachRight( arr, sum, predicate, context ); var mean = context.sum / context.count; // returns 3.0 ```
## 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`). - The function returns the input `collection`. - The function does **not** skip `undefined` elements. ```javascript function predicate( value ) { return ( value === value ); } function log( value, index ) { console.log( '%s: %s', index, value ); } var arr = [ 1, , , 4 ]; doWhileEachRight( arr, log, predicate ); /* => 3: 4 2: undefined 1: undefined 0: 1 */ ``` - The function provides limited support for dynamic collections (i.e., collections whose `length` changes during execution).
## Examples ```javascript var isEven = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-even' ).isPrimitive; var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' ); var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' ); var doWhileEachRight = require( '@stdlib/utils/do-while-each-right' ); var arr; var i; var j; function predicate( value ) { return ( value === value ); } function log( value, index, collection ) { console.log( '%s: %d', index, value ); i += 1; if ( isEven( i ) ) { collection.pop(); } else { collection.unshift( i+1 ); } } arr = new Array( 100 ); j = floor( randu()*arr.length ); for ( i = arr.length-1; i >= 0; i-- ) { if ( i === j ) { arr[ i ] = NaN; } else { arr[ i ] = i; } } i = 0; doWhileEachRight( arr, log, predicate ); ```
