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.`.

takeWhile

Removes elements in an array until the passed function returns true. Returns the removed elements.

Loop through the array, using a for...of loop over Array.prototype.entries() until the returned value from the function is true. Return the removed elements, using Array.prototype.slice().

const takeWhile = (arr, func) => {
  for (const [i, val] of arr.entries()) if (func(val)) return arr.slice(0, i);
  return arr;
};
takeWhile([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n >= 3); // [1, 2]
