# --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:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var numbers = [10, 50, 8, 220, 110, 11];
|
|
numbers.some(function(currentValue) {
|
|
return currentValue < 10;
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `some` method would return `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.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
Your code should use the `some` method.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(code.match(/\.some/g));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`checkPositive([1, 2, 3, -4, 5])` should return `true`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(checkPositive([1, 2, 3, -4, 5]));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`checkPositive([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])` should return `true`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(checkPositive([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`checkPositive([-1, -2, -3, -4, -5])` should return `false`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(!checkPositive([-1, -2, -3, -4, -5]));
|
|
```

return arr.some(elem => elem > 0);
