Intermediate Algorithm Scripting - Sorted Union

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

Your code so far

function uniteUnique() {
return […arguments]
.flat()
.filter((item, ind, arr) => arr.indexOf(item) === ind);
}

uniteUnique([1, 3, 2], [5, 2, 1, 4], [2, 1]);
Can Someone please explain this line of code? " .filter((item, ind, arr) => arr.indexOf(item) === find);" how it is actually working? I can’t understand. Please help.

Thank you for your guidance. So when the filter method is used, there are three variables “item”, “ind” and “arr” inside the parenthesis. I want to figure out what “arr” actually represents . “ind” means the index of the current element being passed. But how are duplicate values omitted when the filter method is used on the […arguments] ?

Please look at the line below for the given solution as mentioned above.

.filter((item, ind, arr) => arr.indexOf(item) === ind);

I want to know how this line of code is working actually.

Look at the original code given by the exercise. You should be able to spot what arr is….
