JavaScript - some()

https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_array.asp

The some() method checks if any of the elements in an array pass a test (provided as a function). The difference between this and something like .map() or find() is that some() returns a Boolean. True if any of the elements in the array pass the test, otherwise it returns false. Think of it as a "contains" function.

The some() method executes the function once for each element present in the array.

some() does not execute the function for empty arrays.

some() does not change the original array.


$(function ()
{
    let hasClarke = authors.some((author) => { return author.name.toLowerCase() === "arthur c clarke" });
    $("#demo1").html("Did we find Arthur C Clarke? " + hasClarke);
});
