One idea we've discussed: allow the sentinel that is OOB with respect to the domain (element type) be an optional second parameter:

  const K = Symbol("not found");
console.log( [1, 2, 3].find(x => isNaN(x), K) ); // K, logs as "not found"
  console.log( [1, 2, , 3].find(x => isNaN(x)) );  // undefined

/be

P.S. Don't use isNaN! I know, it served your example's purpose.

Thanks, I've submitted an agenda item that includes _both_ find and findIndex.

Awesome!

One issue with `find` is what distinguishes

     find([1, 2, 3], x =>  isNaN(x)); // presumably `undefined`

from

     find([1, 2, undefined, 3], x =>  isNaN(x)); // also presumably `undefined`

i.e. how do you distinguish "found nothing" from "found `undefined`."

In C# they have `IEnumerable<T>.First` and `IEnumerable<T>.FirstOrDefault`; the 
former throws an error if nothing matching the predicate is found, whereas the latter 
returns `default(T)` (which is `null` for reference types, or `0` for numbers, etc.).

Food for thought.
