Mutates the original array to filter out the values specified.
Returns the removed elements.
- Use `Array.prototype.filter()` and `Array.prototype.includes()` to pull out the values that are not needed.
- Set `Array.prototype.length` to mutate the passed in an array by resetting its length to `0`.
- Use `Array.prototype.push()` to re-populate it with only the pulled values.
- Use `Array.prototype.push()` to keep track of pulled values.
```js
const pullAtValue = (arr, pullArr) => {
let removed = [],
pushToRemove = arr.forEach((v, i) =>
pullArr.includes(v) ? removed.push(v) : v
),
mutateTo = arr.filter((v, i) => !pullArr.includes(v));
arr.length = 0;
mutateTo.forEach(v => arr.push(v));
return removed;
};
```
```js
let myArray = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
let pulled = pullAtValue(myArray, ['b', 'd']);
// myArray = [ 'a', 'c' ] , pulled = [ 'b', 'd' ]
```
