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