Mutates an array by removing elements for which the given function returns `false`.
- Use `Array.prototype.filter()` to find array elements that return truthy values.
- Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` to remove elements using `Array.prototype.splice()`.
- The callback function is invoked with three arguments (value, index, array).
```js
const remove = (arr, func) =>
Array.isArray(arr)
? arr.filter(func).reduce((acc, val) => {
arr.splice(arr.indexOf(val), 1);
return acc.concat(val);
}, [])
: [];
```
```js
remove([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n % 2 === 0); // [2, 4]
```
