Filter() in JavaScript

Filter() is a method in JavaScript that can effortlessly provide filtered output data(in the form of array) by processing an array

Here's the syntax of the filter() method:

let newArray = arr.filter(callback(element[, index[, array]])[, thisArg])

In this syntax:

newArray: This is the new array that will be returned by the filter() method.
arr: This is the original array on which the filter() method was called.
callback: This is a function that tests each element of the array. Return true to keep the element, false otherwise. It accepts three arguments:
- element: The current element being processed in the array.
- index (optional): The index of the current element being processed in the array.
- array (optional): The array filter() was called upon.
thisArg (optional): Value to use as this when executing callback.

Here's a simple example:

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

const filteredNumbers = numbers.filter((number) => number % 2 === 0);

console.log(filteredNumbers); // Output: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

In this example, the filter() method is used to filter out the even numbers from the numbers array. The new evenNumbers array is then logged to the console.
