A company uses a Node.js application that checks several data sources for requested information. Since each request to a data source is performance heavy, the application should try to check the next source only if the request failed at the current data source. That functionality was extracted into the firstSuccessfulPromise function.
The firstSuccessfulPromise function accepts an array of Promises as a promiseArray parameter. The function should return a Promise which should resolve to the first successful result from the promiseArray.
If no Promise from the promiseArray returns successfully, the function should return undefined.
For example, if the following code is executed:
firstSuccessfulPromise([new Promise((resolve, reject) => reject()),
new Promise((resolve, reject) => resolve("Success!"))])
.then(result => console.log(result));
It should print "Success!".
- Example case: Wrong answer
- The first Promise in promisesArray returns successfully: Wrong answer
- The first successful Promise in promisesArray is not the first Promise in the array: Wrong answer
- The function returns undefined only if no Promise is successful: Wrong answer

Screening Applicants: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Since we’re all biased and we use incorrect proxies, why not just outsource hiring to experts or recruitment agencies? After all, they’ve been screening people for many years, so they must know how to do it right?
Not really. I was surprised to discover that many experts disagree with each other. Everybody praises their pet method and criticizes the others. Many of these methods look legitimate, but are based on...
