title: Use the some Method to Check that Any Elements in an Array Meet a Criteria
challengeType: 1
---
## Description
The some method works with arrays to check if any element passes a particular test. It returns a Boolean value - true if any of the values meet the criteria, false if not.
For example, the following code would check if any element in the numbers array is less than 10:
var numbers = [10, 50, 8, 220, 110, 11];
numbers.some(function(currentValue) {
return currentValue < 10;
});
// Returns true
## Instructions
Use the some method inside the checkPositive function to check if any element in arr is positive. The function should return a Boolean value.
## Tests
```yml
tests:
- text: Your code should use the some method.
testString: assert(code.match(/\.some/g), 'Your code should use the some method.');
- text: checkPositive([1, 2, 3, -4, 5]) should return true.
testString: assert(checkPositive([1, 2, 3, -4, 5]), 'checkPositive([1, 2, 3, -4, 5]) should return true.');
- text: checkPositive([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) should return true.
testString: assert(checkPositive([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), 'checkPositive([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) should return true.');
- text: checkPositive([-1, -2, -3, -4, -5]) should return false.
testString: assert(!checkPositive([-1, -2, -3, -4, -5]), 'checkPositive([-1, -2, -3, -4, -5]) should return false.');
```
## Challenge Seed
```js
