### pullAtIndex
Mutates the original array to filter out the values at the specified indexes.
Use `Array.filter()` and `Array.includes()` to pull out the values that are not needed.
Use `Array.length = 0` to mutate the passed in an array by resetting it's length to zero and `Array.push()` to re-populate it with only the pulled values.
Use `Array.push()` to keep track of pulled values
```js
const pullAtIndex = (arr, pullArr) => {
let removed = [];
let pulled = arr.map((v, i) => pullArr.includes(i) ? removed.push(v) : v)
.filter((v, i) => !pullArr.includes(i))
arr.length = 0;
pulled.forEach(v => arr.push(v));
return removed;
}
```
```js
let myArray = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
let pulled = pullAtIndex(myArray, [1, 3]);
console.log(myArray); // [ 'a', 'c' ]
console.log(pulled); // [ 'b', 'd' ]
```
