JavaScript Array every()
The JavaScript Array.prototype.every()
method is used to test if all elements in an array pass a certain condition. It iterates over each element of the array and checks it against a provided condition. If all elements pass the condition, the every()
method returns true
. If any element does not pass the condition, the every()
method returns false
.
// Example:
let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let result = numbers.every(num => num > 0);
console.log(result); // true
In the example above, the every()
method is used to check if all elements in the numbers
array are greater than 0. Since all elements in the array are greater than 0, the every()
method returns true
.
The syntax of the every()
method is as follows:
array.every(callback(currentValue, index, array), thisArg);
Where the callback
is a function to test for each element. It takes three arguments:
currentValue
: The current element being processed in the array.index
: The index of the current element being processed in the array.array
: The arrayevery()
was called upon.
The thisArg
is an optional parameter which defines the value of this
inside the callback
function.
