TypedArray.prototype.findIndex()
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2016.
The findIndex()
method of TypedArray
instances returns the index of the first element in a typed array that satisfies the provided testing function. If no elements satisfy the testing function, -1 is returned. This method has the same algorithm as Array.prototype.findIndex()
.
Try it
Syntax
findIndex(callbackFn)
findIndex(callbackFn, thisArg)
Parameters
callbackFn
-
A function to execute for each element in the typed array. It should return a truthy value to indicate a matching element has been found, and a falsy value otherwise. The function is called with the following arguments:
thisArg
Optional-
A value to use as
this
when executingcallbackFn
. See iterative methods.
Return value
The index of the first element in the typed array that passes the test. Otherwise, -1
.
Description
See Array.prototype.findIndex()
for more details. This method is not generic and can only be called on typed array instances.
Examples
Find the index of a prime number in a typed array
The following example finds the index of an element in the typed array that is a prime
number (or returns -1
if there is no prime number).
function isPrime(element, index, array) {
let start = 2;
while (start <= Math.sqrt(element)) {
if (element % start++ < 1) {
return false;
}
}
return element > 1;
}
const uint8 = new Uint8Array([4, 6, 8, 12]);
const uint16 = new Uint16Array([4, 6, 7, 12]);
console.log(uint8.findIndex(isPrime)); // -1, not found
console.log(uint16.findIndex(isPrime)); // 2
