How to use the some Method In Javascript
In this method, we will create an array of special characters and use the some method to check if any character in the given string is present in the array of special characters. The some method tests whether at least one element in the array passes the provided function.
Example: In this example, we will use the some method to check the given string.
function containsSpecialCharacter(str) {
const specialChars = ['!', '@', '#', '$', '%', '^', '&', '*', '(', ')', '-', '+', '=', '{', '}', '[', ']', ':', ';', '"', "'", '<', '>', ',', '.', '?', '/', '|', '\\'];
return str.split('').some(char => specialChars.includes(char));
}
let str = "Geeks@forGeeks";
console.log("Given string is: " + str);
if (containsSpecialCharacter(str)) {
console.log("String contains special characters.");
} else {
console.log("String does not contain any special character.");
}
Output
Given string is: Geeks@forGeeks String contains special characters.
JavaScript Program to Check if a String Contains any Special Character
This article will demonstrate the methods to write a JavaScript Program to check if a String contains any special characters. Any string that contains any character other than alphanumeric and space includes the special character. These special characters are '!', '@', '#', '$', '%', '^', '&', '*', '(', ')', '-', '+', '=', '{', '}', '[', ']', ':', ';', '"', '\'', '<', '>', ',', '.', '?', '/', '|', '\\',
etc.
Example:
Input: Geeks$For$Geeks
Output: String contains special characters
Explanation: Input string contain '$' symbol
Input: Geeks For Geeks
Output: String doesnot contain any special character.
