### <a id="_.some" href="https://github.com/bestiejs/lodash/blob/master/lodash.js#L701" title="View in source">`_.some(collection, callback [, thisArg])`</a>
Checks if the `callback` returns truthy for **any** value of a `collection`. The function returns as soon as it finds passing value, and does not iterate over the entire `collection`. The `callback` is invoked with `3` arguments; for arrays they are *(value, index, array)* and for objects they are *(value, key, object)*.
[&#9650;][1]

#### Arguments
1. `collection` *(Array|Object)*: The collection to iterate over.
2. `callback` *(Function)*: The function called per iteration.
3. `[thisArg]` *(Mixed)*: The `this` binding for the callback.

#### Returns
*(Boolean)*: Returns `true` if any value passes the callback check, else `false`.

#### Example

Produces a new sorted array, ranked in ascending order by the results of running each value of a `collection` through `callback`. The `callback` is invoked with `3` arguments; for arrays they are *(value, index, array)* and for objects they are *(value, key, object)*. The `callback` argument may also be the name of a property to sort by *(e.g. 'length')*.
[&#9650;][1]

#### Arguments

### <a id="_.sortedIndex" href="https://github.com/bestiejs/lodash/blob/master/lodash.js#L728" title="View in source">`_.sortedIndex(array, value [, callback])`</a>
Uses a binary search to determine the index at which the `value` should be inserted into the `collection` in order to maintain the `collection`'s sorted order. If `callback` is passed, it will be executed for each value in the `collection` to compute their sort ranking. The `callback` is invoked with `1` arguments.
[&#9650;][1]

#### Arguments
1. `array` *(Array)*: The array to iterate over.
2. `value` *(Mixed)*: The value to evaluate.
3. `[callback]` *(Function)*: The function called per iteration.

[&#9650;][1]

#### Arguments
1. `value` *(Mixed)*: The value to pass to `callback`.
