Kata

You will be given an array of objects (associative arrays in PHP) representing data about developers who have signed up to attend the next coding meetup that you are organising.

Your task is to return:

• true if at least one Ruby developer has signed up; or
• false if there will be no Ruby developers.

For example, given the following input array:

list1 = [
    { 'firstName': 'Sofia', 'lastName': 'I.', 'country': 'Argentina', 'continent': 'Americas', 'age': 35, 'language': 'Java' },
    { 'firstName': 'Lukas', 'lastName': 'X.', 'country': 'Croatia', 'continent': 'Europe', 'age': 35, 'language': 'Python' },
    { 'firstName': 'Madison', 'lastName': 'U.', 'country': 'United States', 'continent': 'Americas', 'age': 32, 'language': 'Ruby' } 
    ]

var list1 = [
  { firstName: 'Emma', lastName: 'Z.', country: 'Netherlands', continent: 'Europe', age: 29, language: 'Ruby' },
  { firstName: 'Piotr', lastName: 'B.', country: 'Poland', continent: 'Europe', age: 128, language: 'Javascript' },
  { firstName: 'Jayden', lastName: 'P.', country: 'Jamaica', continent: 'Americas', age: 42, language: 'JavaScript' }
];

$list1 = [
  [
    "first_name" => "Emma",
    "last_name" => "Z.",
    "country" => "Netherlands",
    "continent" => "Europe",
    "age" => 29,
    "language" => "Ruby"
  ],
  [
    "first_name" => "Piotr",
    "last_name" => "B.",
    "country" => "Poland",
    "continent" => "Europe",
    "age" => 128,
    "language" => "JavaScript"
  ],
  [
    "first_name" => "Jayden",
    "last_name" => "P.",
    "country" => "Jamaica",
    "continent" => "Americas",
    "age" => 42,
    "language" => "JavaScript"
  ]
];

list1 = [
  { first_name: 'Emma', last_name: 'Z.', country: 'Netherlands', continent: 'Europe', age: 29, language: 'Ruby' },
  { first_name: 'Piotr', last_name: 'B.', country: 'Poland', continent: 'Europe', age: 128, language: 'Javascript' },
  { first_name: 'Jayden', last_name: 'P.', country: 'Jamaica', continent: 'Americas', age: 42, language: 'JavaScript' }
]

list1 = [
  { first_name: 'Emma', last_name: 'Z.', country: 'Netherlands', continent: 'Europe', age: 29, language: 'Ruby' },
  { first_name: 'Piotr', last_name: 'B.', country: 'Poland', continent: 'Europe', age: 128, language: 'Javascript' },
  { first_name: 'Jayden', last_name: 'P.', country: 'Jamaica', continent: 'Americas', age: 42, language: 'JavaScript' }
]

              05 FirstName    pic a(9)  value 'Jayden'.
              05 LastName     pic x(2)  value 'P.'.
              05 Country      pic a(24) value 'Jamaica'.

              05 Age          pic 9(3)  value 42.
              05 Language     pic a(10) value 'JavaScript'.

your function should return true.

Notes:

• The input array will always be valid and formatted as in the example above.
  
  
  
  
  

This kata is part of the Coding Meetup series which includes a number of short and easy to follow katas which have been designed to allow mastering the use of higher-order functions. In JavaScript this includes methods like: forEach, filter, map, reduce, some, every, find, findIndex. Other approaches to solving the katas are of course possible.

Here is the full list of the katas in the Coding Meetup series:

Coding Meetup #1 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Count the number of JavaScript developers coming from Europe

Coding Meetup #2 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Greet developers

Coding Meetup #3 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Is Ruby coming?

Coding Meetup #4 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Find the first Python developer

Coding Meetup #5 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Prepare the count of languages

Coding Meetup #6 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Can they code in the same language?

Coding Meetup #7 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Find the most senior developer

Coding Meetup #8 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Will all continents be represented?

Coding Meetup #9 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Is the meetup age-diverse?

Coding Meetup #10 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Create usernames

Coding Meetup #11 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Find the average age

Coding Meetup #12 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Find GitHub admins

Coding Meetup #13 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Is the meetup language-diverse?

Coding Meetup #14 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Order the food

Coding Meetup #15 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Find the odd names

Coding Meetup #16 - Higher-Order Functions Series - Ask for missing details
