Hello, I am new to this whole programming thing and struggling with algorithms right now.

I have come up with this solution, however I can’t seem to get the return part of my filter function right.

> function destroyer(arr) {  
> // Remove all the values  
> //turn arguments into array, starting from the second (1) arg  
> var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments,1);
> 
> ```
> //filter function, return value that doesn't match the arguments
> function destroyThis(val){
> for (var i = 0; i < args.length; i ++){  
> //return args.indexOf(x) === -1;
> **return val != args[i];**
> }
> }
>   
> //filter the working array
> arr = arr.filter(destroyThis);
> return arr;
> }
> 
> ```

Can anyone help me with the bold part? My current solution only check the last of the arguments.  
Much appreciate. 🙂
