For some reason, the Array.find() method does not always find a value that exists in the array. Seems success depends on the values searched for and the length of the array. Tested with 2019.12.16 and 2020.04.30 versions


Should show
[65,46,44,25,]
Find 65: 0
Find 46: 1
Find 44: 2
Find 25: 3

but I get
[65,46,44,25,]
Find 65: -1
Find 46: 1
Find 44: -1
Find 25: -1

Its not really a bug. The .find() operator only works on sorted arrays. Your array isnt sorted so it doesnt work as expected.

AGK documentation wrote: ".sort() will always sort in ascending order and .find(item) will only work on arrays that are in ascending order. "

As noted by @Bengismo, according to the guides " .find(item) will only work on arrays that are in ascending order ", so you must sort them first to put in ascending order and then use .find.

This works:

I've renamed the thread because this is not a bug.

Thanks. I totally forgot the array needed to be sorted.
