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
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.
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
.
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 elementindex
: collection indexcollection
: input collection
To set the function execution context, provide a thisArg
.
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 anArray
,Typed Array
, or an array-likeObject
(excludingstrings
andfunctions
). -
If provided an empty collection, the function returns
false
.function alwaysTrue() { return true; } var bool = someByRight( [], 1, alwaysTrue ); // returns false
-
The function does not skip
undefined
elements.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
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>
