Basic Algorithm Scripting - Finders Keepers

JavaScript
1

I have the solution here, but I don’t understand the if statement used because It does not seem complete to me. It does not seem to give a requirement of (func(num)), it just says always return num. I’m confused again…

function findElement(arr, func) {
  let num = 0;

  for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    num = arr[i];
    if (func(num)) {
      return num;
    }
  }

  return undefined;
}

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

Depending what is actually returned by func(num), the result, will be evaluated as truthy or falsy. Condition in the if statement doesn’t need to be exactly true or false.
