The given line of code performs the following:
-
this.myArray.filter(...)
:- It creates a new array by iterating over the elements of
this.myArray
using thefilter
method. - The
filter
method keeps elements in the new array only if the condition provided in the callback function evaluates totrue
.
- It creates a new array by iterating over the elements of
-
Callback function parameters
(_, i)
:- The first parameter
_
represents the current element of the array. However, the_
is unused, meaning the actual element is not relevant to this operation. - The second parameter
i
represents the index of the current element in the array during the iteration.
- The first parameter
-
Condition
i !== indexToRemove
:- The callback returns
true
for all indices not equal toindexToRemove
. This effectively removes the element at the indexindexToRemove
from the array.
- The callback returns
-
this.myArray = ...
:- The result of the
filter
method (a new array without the element atindexToRemove
) replaces the existingthis.myArray
array.
- The result of the
Key Takeaway:
This line of code removes the element located at the index indexToRemove
from the this.myArray
array while keeping all other elements intact.
Example:
this.myArray = [10, 20, 30, 40];
const indexToRemove = 2;
this.myArray = this.myArray.filter((_, i) => i !== indexToRemove);
console.log(this.myArray);
// Output: [10, 20, 40]
