// The easiest way to get an array of all of the arguments that are passed to a function
|
|
|
|
// is using the spread operator. If this is unfamiliar to you look it up!

// create a new empty array
|

|

// use forEach to go through the array

array.forEach((item) => {
|
|
|
|
// push every element into the new array
|
|
|
|
// UNLESS it is included in the function arguments
|
|
|
|
// so we create a new array with every item, except those that should be removed
|

// which basically does what we did with the forEach above.
