what does filter function do code example

Example 1: how the filter() function works javascript

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

const filter = arr.filter((number) => number > 5);
console.log(filter); // [6, 7, 8, 9]

Example 2: filter

const array = [-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]; 

function isPrime(num) {
  for (let i = 2; num > i; i++) {
    if (num % i == 0) {
      return false;
    }
  }
  return num > 1;
}

console.log(array.filter(isPrime)); // [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13]
