# --description--

You will need to determine whether the task being added to the `taskData` array already exists or not. If the task does not exist, you will add it to the array. If it does exist, you will update it. To accomplish this, you can use the <dfn>findIndex()</dfn> method.

The `findIndex()` array method finds and returns the index of the first element in an array that meets the criteria specified by a provided testing callback function. If no such element is found, the method returns `-1`. The callback should return a truthy value to indicate a matching element has been found, and a falsy value otherwise.

Here's an example:

```js
const numbers = [3, 1, 5, 6];
const firstNumLargerThanThree = numbers.findIndex((num) => num > 3);

console.log(firstNumLargerThanThree); // prints index 2
```

Use `const` to declare a variable called `dataArrIndex` and assign it the value of `taskData.findIndex()`. For the `findIndex()` method, pass in an arrow function with `item` as the parameter. 

Within the arrow function, check if the `id` property of `item` is strictly equal to the `id` property of `currentTask`.

# --hints--

You should use `const` to declare a `dataArrIndex` variable and set it to `taskData.findIndex()`.

```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+dataArrIndex\s*=\s*taskData\.findIndex\(/)
```

You should pass in `item` as the parameter of the arrow function callback. Don't use curly braces.

```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+dataArrIndex\s*=\s*taskData\.findIndex\(\s*(\(\s*item\s*\)|item)/)
```

Your arrow function callback should check if `item.id === currentTask.id`.

```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+dataArrIndex\s*=\s*taskData\.findIndex\(\s*(\(\s*item\s*\)|item)\s*=>\s*((item\.id\s*===\s*currentTask\.id|currentTask\.id\s*===\s*item\.id)|({\s*return\s*(item\.id\s*===\s*currentTask\.id|currentTask\.id\s*===\s*item\.id);?\s*}))\s*\)\s*;?/)
```
