Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

### dropWhile
Removes elements in an array until the passed function returns `true`. Returns the remaining elements in the array.
Loop through the array, using `Array.prototype.slice()` to drop the first element of the array until the returned value from the function is `true`.
Returns the remaining elements.
```js
const dropWhile = (arr, func) => {
while (arr.length > 0 && !func(arr[0])) arr = arr.slice(1);
return arr;
};
```
```js
dropWhile([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n >= 3); // [3,4]
```
