# some

Determines whether any element of an observable sequence satisfies a condition if present, else if any items are in the sequence. There is an alias to this method called `any`.

## Arguments

1. `predicate` *(`Function`)*: A function to test each source element for a condition. The callback is called with the following information:
   1. the value of the element
   2. the index of the element
   3. the Observable object being subscribed
2. `[thisArg]` *(`Any`)*: Object to use as this when executing callback.

## Returns

*(`Observable`)*: An observable sequence containing a single element determining whether all elements in the source sequence pass the test in the specified predicate.
