![:triangular_flag_on_post:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/triangular_flag_on_post.png?v=3 ":triangular_flag_on_post:") Remember to use **`Read-Search-Ask`** if you get stuck. Try to pair program ![:busts_in_silhouette:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/busts_in_silhouette.png?v=3 ":busts_in_silhouette:") and write your own code ![:pencil:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/pencil.png?v=3 ":pencil:")
### ![:checkered_flag:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/checkered_flag.png?v=3 ":checkered_flag:") Problem Explanation:
The program needs to check if the second argument is a truthy element, and it must check this for each object in the first argument.

## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 1
Remember to iterate through the first argument to check each object.

## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 2
Only if all of them are truth will we return true, so make sure all of them check.

You could use loops or callbacks functions, there are multiple ways to solve this problem.

**Solutions ahead!**
## ![:beginner:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/beginner.png?v=3 ":beginner:") Basic Code Solution:
**Using for-in loop & hasOwnProperty**
function truthCheck(collection, pre) {
// Create a counter to check how many are true.
var counter = 0;
// Check for each object
for (var c in collection) {
// If it is has property and value is truthy
if (collection[c].hasOwnProperty(pre) && Boolean(collection[c][pre])) {
counter++;
}
}
// Outside the loop, check to see if we got true for all of them and return true or false
return counter == collection.length;
}
// test here
truthCheck([{"user": "Tinky-Winky", "sex": "male"}, {"user": "Dipsy", "sex": "male"}, {"user": "Laa-Laa", "sex": "female"}, {"user": "Po", "sex": "female"}], "sex");

### Code Explanation:
* First I create a counter to check how many cases are actually true.
* Then check for each object if the value is truthy
* Outside the loop, I check to see if the counter variable has the same value as the length of **collection**, if true then return **true**, otherwise, return **false**

* JS Loops
* Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty()
## ![:sunflower:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/sunflower.png?v=3 ":sunflower:") Intermediate Code Solution:
**Using Array.every()**
function truthCheck(collection, pre) {
return collection.every(function (element) {
return element.hasOwnProperty(pre) && Boolean(element[pre]);
});
}
// test here
truthCheck([{"user": "Tinky-Winky", "sex": "male"}, {"user": "Dipsy", "sex": "male"}, {"user": "Laa-Laa", "sex": "female"}, {"user": "Po", "sex": "female"}], "sex");
![:rocket:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/rocket.png?v=3 ":rocket:") Run Code
### Code Explanation:
* Uses the native "every" method to test whether all elements in the array pass the test.
* This link will help Array.prototype.every()

* JS Array.prototype.every()
* MDN Array.prototype.every()
## ![:rotating_light:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/rotating_light.png?v=3 ":rotating_light:") Advanced Code Solution:
function truthCheck(collection, pre) {
// Is everyone being true?
return collection.every(obj => obj[pre]);
}
truthCheck([{"user": "Tinky-Winky", "sex": "male"}, {"user": "Dipsy", "sex": "male"}, {"user": "Laa-Laa", "sex": "female"}, {"user": "Po", "sex": "female"}], "sex");

### Code Explanation:
* For _every_ object in the `collection` array, check the truthiness of object's property passed in `pre` parameter
* `Array#every` method internally checks if the value returned from the callback is truthy.
* Return `true` if it passes for _every_ object. Otherwise, return `false`.
#### Relevant Links
* `Array#every`
