Finds the first `n` elements for which the provided function returns a truthy value.
|
|
|
|
- Use a `for...in` loop to execute the provided `matcher` for each element of `arr`.
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.push()` to append elements to the results array and return them if its `length` is equal to `n`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const findFirstN = (arr, matcher, n = 1) => {
|
|
let res = [];
|
|
for (let i in arr) {
|
|
const el = arr[i];
|
|
const match = matcher(el, i, arr);
|
|
if (match) res.push(el);
|
|
if (res.length === n) return res;
|
|
}
|
|
return res;
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
findFirstN([1, 2, 4, 6], n => n % 2 === 0, 2); // [2, 4]
|
|
findFirstN([1, 2, 4, 6], n => n % 2 === 0, 5); // [2, 4, 6]
|
|
```
