filter
filter<T>(@StreamCapable items: Array<T>, criteria: (item: T, index: Number) -> Boolean): Array<T>
Iterates over an array and applies an expression that returns matching values.
The expression must return true
or false
. If the expression returns true
for a value or index in the array, the value gets captured in the output array.
If it returns false
for a value or index in the array, that item gets
filtered out of the output. If there are no matches, the output array will
be empty.

filter(@StreamCapable text: String, criteria: (character: String, index: Number) -> Boolean): String
Iterates over a string and applies an expression that returns matching values.
The expression must return true
or false
. If the expression returns true
for a character or index in the array, the character gets captured in the output string.
If it returns false
