# indexOfObject(passingTest:)

Returns the index of the first object in the array that passes a test in a given block.

## Declaration

```swift
func indexOfObject(passingTest predicate: (Any, Int, UnsafeMutablePointer<ObjCBool>) -> Bool) -> Int
```

## Parameters

- `predicate`: The block to apply to elements in the array. The block takes three arguments: The block returns a Boolean value that indicates whether obj passed the test. Returning doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true will stop further processing of the array.

## Return Value

Return Value The lowest index whose corresponding value in the array passes the test specified by predicate. If no objects in the array pass the test, returns NSNotFound.

## Discussion

Discussion If the block parameter is nil this method will raise an exception.
