Iterate Through All an Array’s Items Using For Loops

Hints

Hint 1

  • A for loop must be used to search through every element in the array.
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {}

Hint 2

  • Every element of the array must then be compared to the elem parameter passed through the filteredArray() function.
if (arr[i].indexOf(elem) == -1) {
}

Hint 3

  • If a match is NOT found then newArr have that entire subarray added. The push() function is very useful here.
newArr.push(arr[i]);
  • Once that entire subarray is added to newArr the loop continue with the next element.

Solutions

Solution 1 (Click to Show/Hide) 
function filteredArray(arr, elem) {
  let newArr = [];
  // change code below this line

  for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    if (arr[i].indexOf(elem) == -1) {
      //Checks every parameter for the element and if is NOT there continues the code
      newArr.push(arr[i]); //Inserts the element of the array in the new filtered array
    }
  }

  // change code above this line
  return newArr;
}
// change code here to test different cases:
console.log(filteredArray([[3, 2, 3], [1, 6, 3], [3, 13, 26], [19, 3, 9]], 3));
