Robert Mennell 2629765340 Update indexOfAll snippet return type
Now we're just going to return an empty array. This keeps a consistent return type, does not need checking, and won't break api chaining.

Decision was made because otherwise you'd have to add a filter step or check if the return is not an array. Instead we just want an empty array so it has a consistent API, and no indeces is a valid amount

### indexOfAll
Returns all indices of `val` in an array. If `val` never occurs, returns `[-1]`.
Use `Array.forEach()` to loop over elements and `Array.push()` to store indices for matching elements.
Return `[-1]` if `length` of the array of indices is `0`, otherwise return the array of indices.
```js
const indexOfAll = (arr, val) => {
const indices = [];
arr.forEach((el, i) => el === val && indices.push(i));
return indices;
};
```
```js
indexOfAll([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], 1); // [0,3]
indexOfAll([1, 2, 3], 4); // []
```
