Try to pair program ![:busts_in_silhouette:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/busts_in_silhouette.png?v=3 ":busts_in_silhouette:") and write your own code ![:pencil:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/pencil.png?v=3 ":pencil:") ### ![:checkered_flag:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/checkered_flag.png?v=3 ":checkered_flag:") Problem Explanation: Remove all falsy values from an array. #### Relevant Links * Falsy Values ## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 1 Falsy is something which evaluates to FALSE. There are only six falsy values in JavaScript: undefined, null, NaN, 0, "" (empty string), and false of course. > _try to solve the problem now_ ## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 2 We need to make sure we have all the falsy values to compare, we can know it, maybe with a function with all the falsy values... > _try to solve the problem now_ ## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 3 Then we need to add a `filter()` with the falsy values function... > _try to solve the problem now_ ## Spoiler Alert! ![warning sign](//discourse-user-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/original/2X/2/2d6c412a50797771301e7ceabd554cef4edcd74d.gif) **Solution ahead!** ## ![:rotating_light:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/rotating_light.png?v=3 ":rotating_light:") Advanced Code Solution: function bouncer(arr) { return arr.filter(Boolean); } ![:rocket:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/rocket.png?v=3 ":rocket:") Run Code ### Code Explanation: The `Array.prototype.filter` method expects a function that returns a `Boolean` value which takes a single argument and returns `true` for truthy value or `false` for falsy value. Hence we pass the built-in `Boolean` function. #### Relevant Links * Boolean * Truthy * Array.prototype.filter() ## ![:trophy:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/trophy.png?v=3 ":trophy:") Credits: If you found this page useful, you can give thanks by copying and pasting this on the main chat: **`Thanks @renelis @abhisekp @Rafase282 for your help with Algorithm: Falsy Bouncer`** ## ![:clipboard:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/clipboard.png?v=3 ":clipboard:") NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTIONS: * ![:warning:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/warning.png?v=3 ":warning:") **DO NOT** add solutions that are similar to any existing solutions.
