The find() method will return the value of the first element in an array which will pass a given test.


The find() method will execute a function for each array element, returning undefined if no elements are found. The major difference between the map find is that the map() goes through all entries. Then creates a new array using the function supplied, whereas find() locates a specific entry by a predicate and returns it. Both are legitimate in that both methods are supposed to do.


Reduce() method is nothing, but it applies a function simultaneously against two array values from left to right to reduce it to a single value. Also, it executes a user-supplied reducer callback function on each element of the array. It will then pass in the return value from the calculation on the initial elements in JavaScript. A single value is a final result of running the reducer across all the array elements, and it does not execute the function for empty array elements. It does not change the original array.


Here is an example of how the find method can be achieved through reduce method in ES6:

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install Visual Studio Code on your computer.
  2. Download JavaScript(ES) Code snippet and Code Runner from extension.
  3. Create a new folder in your local.
  4. Open that folder in Visual Studio Code.
  5. Then create a new JS file(Eg: Test.js).
  6. Copy the snippet using 'copy' button and paste it into that file.
  7. Save and run the file using run button.


Note: Remove last two lines of code after pasting the snippet.
