Trying to complete a lesson with map() & filter() methods; but when running test I get output: Which is super close to what is being asked, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get it exactly how they are asking. Please help.
my OUTPUT:
[ [ 'Inception', '8.8' ],
[ 'Interstellar', '8.6' ],
[ 'The Dark Knight', '9.0' ],
[ 'Batman Begins', '8.3' ] ]
am failing one of the test and get message:
filteredList should equal:
[{"title": "Inception","rating": "8.8"},{"title": "Interstellar","rating": "8.6"},{"title": "The Dark Knight","rating": "9.0"},{"title": "Batman Begins","rating": "8.3"}] .
LESSON is:
Use the filter Method to Extract Data from an Array
Another useful array function is Array.prototype.filter() , or simply filter() .
filter calls a function on each element of an array and returns a new array containing only the elements for which that function returns true . In other words, it filters the array, based on the function passed to it. Like map , it does this without needing to modify the original array.
The callback function accepts three arguments. The first argument is the current element being processed. The second is the index of that element and the third is the array upon which the filter method was called.
See below for an example using the filter method on the users array to return a new array containing only the users under the age of 30. For simplicity, the example only uses the first argument of the callback.
const users = [
{ name: 'John', age: 34 },
{ name: 'Amy', age: 20 },
{ name: 'camperCat', age: 10 }
];
const usersUnder30 = users.filter(user => user.age < 30);
console.log(usersUnder30);
The console would display the value [ { name: 'Amy', age: 20 }, { name: 'camperCat', age: 10 } ] .
The variable watchList holds an array of objects with information on several movies. Use a combination of filter and map on watchList to assign a new array of objects with only title and rating keys. The new array should only include objects where imdbRating is greater than or equal to 8.0. Note that the rating values are saved as strings in the object and you may need to convert them into numbers to perform mathematical operations on them.

MY CODE SO FAR
let filteredList = watchList.filter(function (filteredList){
return parseFloat(filteredList.imdbRating) >= 8.0;
}).map(function (filteredList){
return [filteredList.Title, filteredList.imdbRating];
})
I am passing all three test but the last one. I am not sure if this might be glitch, but fell like my answer is correct.
