what does the filter method do in javascript code example

Example 1: array.filter in js

var numbers = [1, 3, 6, 8, 11];

var lucky = numbers.filter(function(number) {
  return number > 7;
});

Example 2: array.filter in javascript

//Eg 1 - If item is unchecked, remove it from array

const array = [2, 3, 4]

if (event.target.checked) {
      newValue.push(option);
    } else {
      newValue = newValue.filter(item => item.id != option.id);
    }

//If false, it will remove the element. 2 is not equal to 2.

//Eg 2 - To return an array with length > 6

const words = ['spray', 'limit', 'elite', 'exuberant', 'destruction', 'present'];
const result = words.filter(word => word.length > 6);

Example 3: does filter change original array

Note: filter() does not change the original array.
