# --description--

Create a function that looks through an array `arr` and returns the first element in it that passes a 'truth test'. This means that given an element `x`, the 'truth test' is passed if `func(x)` is `true`. If no element passes the test, return `undefined`.

# --hints--

`findElement([1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10], function(num) { return num % 2 === 0; })` should return 8.

```js
assert.strictEqual(
  findElement([1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10], function (num) {
    return num % 2 === 0;
  }),
  8
);
```

`findElement([1, 3, 5, 9], function(num) { return num % 2 === 0; })` should return undefined.

```js
assert.strictEqual(
  findElement([1, 3, 5, 9], function (num) {
    return num % 2 === 0;
  }),
  undefined
);
```

# --seed--

## --seed-contents--

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

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

# --solutions--

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

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