findLastIndex	array,function,intermediate

Returns the index of the last element for which the provided function returns a truthy value.

Use Array.prototype.map() to map each element to an array with its index and value. Use Array.prototype.filter() to remove elements for which fn returns falsy values, Array.prototype.pop() to get the last one. -1 is the default value when not found.

const findLastIndex = (arr, fn) =>
  (arr
    .map((val, i) => [i, val])
    .filter(([i, val]) => fn(val, i, arr))
    .pop() || [-1])[0];

findLastIndex([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n % 2 === 1); // 2 (index of the value 3)
findLastIndex([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n === 5); // -1 (default value when not found)
