Description

Create a function that looks through an array (first argument) and returns the first element in the array that passes a truth test (second argument). If no element passes the test, return undefined.

Instructions

Tests

tests:
  - text: <code>findElement([1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10], function(num) { return num % 2 === 0; })</code> should return 8.
    testString: assert.strictEqual(findElement([1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10], function(num) { return num % 2 === 0; }), 8);
  - text: <code>findElement([1, 3, 5, 9], function(num) { return num % 2 === 0; })</code> should return undefined.
    testString: assert.strictEqual(findElement([1, 3, 5, 9], function(num) { return num % 2 === 0; }), undefined);

Challenge Seed

function findElement(arr, func) {
  let num = 0;
  return num;
}

findElement([1, 2, 3, 4], num => num % 2 === 0);

Solution

function findElement(arr, func) {
  return arr.filter(func)[0];
}

findElement([1, 2, 3, 4], num => num % 2 === 0);
