JavaScript(JS) array method - every

The every() method is an array method in JavaScript that tests whether all elements in the array pass a specified test. This method returns a boolean value indicating whether all elements pass the test or not.

Here's the syntax of the every() method:

array.every(callback, thisArg);

• array is the array that the every() method is called on.
• callback is a function that takes three arguments: the current value of the element being processed, the index of the element being processed, and the array that the every() method was called on. This function should return a boolean value indicating whether the element passes the test or not.
• thisArg is an optional argument that specifies the value of this inside the callback function.

The every() method iterates through the array and calls the callback function on each element. If the callback function returns true for all elements, the every() method returns true. If the callback function returns false for any element, the every() method immediately returns false without iterating over the remaining elements.

Here's an example of how to use the every() method:

let array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

let result = array.every(function(element) {
  return element > 0;
});

console.log(result); // true

In this example, we have an array array containing the elements [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. We use the every() method to test whether all elements in the array are greater than 0. The callback function checks whether the current element is greater than 0 and returns a boolean value. Since all elements in the array are greater than 0, the every() method returns true. The console.log() statement outputs the value of result, which is true.

Note that the every() method stops iterating over the array as soon as it encounters an element for which the callback function returns false. Also, the every() method was introduced in ECMAScript 5, so it may not be supported by older browsers.
