### pullAtValue
Mutates the original array to filter out the values specified. Returns the removed elements.
Use `Array.filter()` and `Array.includes()` to pull out the values that are not needed.
Use `Array.length = 0` to mutate the passed in 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 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;
}
/*
let myArray = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
let pulled = pullAtValue(myArray, ['b', 'd']);
console.log(myArray); -> [ 'a', 'c' ]
console.log(pulled); -> [ 'b', 'd' ]
*/
