Javascript - Array some() Method

Description

The some() method checks if any of the elements in an array pass a test.

The some() method executes the function once for each element present in the array.

If it finds an element where the function returns true, some() returns true and does not check the remaining values.

Otherwise it returns false

The some() does not run the function for array elements without values.

And it does not change the original array.

Syntax

array.some(function(currentValue, index, arr), thisValue)
