Basic scripting 7

JavaScript

I was debugging trying to find a solution, I added console.log(num).
It passed the test!
However, I do not fully understand why.
Can some one explain the line let num = 0; return num

I expected to use an else statement after the if statement, that returned undefined.

else {return undefined;}

I got lucky. as this is the solution.


function findElement(arr, func) {
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  if (func(arr[i])) {
    return arr[i];
  }
}
let num = 0;
return console.log(num);
}
findElement([1, 2, 3, 4], num => num % 2 === 0);

Hi @tannerpace !

I don’t think you got lucky, you just have extra stuff at the end that doesn’t need to be there :grinning:

You actually don’t need a for loop or if statement because there is a handy array method that works well for this case. If you are curious for an alternative solution.
