Conclusion

Project Filter — free browser-based JavaScript practice

■ What this exercise teaches Extract only numbers 3 and above from the array [1,2,3,4,5] using filter, and output it with console.log.

Why it matters in real projects

filter returns a new array with only the matching elements. Similar patterns appear daily in code review and production UI work.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Read the guide and understand the goal of "Project Filter" 2. Review the JavaScript editor pane and start from the starter code 3. Open hints if stuck; compare your diff with the sample solution 4. Click Run and inspect preview/console output 5. Auto-check looks for output containing: 3, 4, 5. 6. After success, continue with adjacent exercises in the same category

Core concept explained

filter returns a new array with only the matching elements.

Technical focus

Key JavaScript APIs: console.log, .filter(.

Hint before you peek at the solution

arr.filter(n => n >= 3)

Sample solution walkthrough

JavaScript APIs used: console.log, .filter(. Verify spelling and async/await usage. Explanation: filter returns a new array with only the matching elements. Hint recap: arr.filter(n => n >= 3)

Solution code

📝 Sample code
const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const filtered = arr.filter(n => n >= 3);
console.log(filtered);

Common mistakes for this exact task

- Skipping the hint: arr.filter(n => n >= 3)

Troubleshooting

Q: Preview does not change after Run A: Ensure you edited the JavaScript pane and clicked Run. Q: Looks correct but check fails A: Auto-check looks for output containing: 3, 4, 5. Look for typos, full-width spaces, or unclosed tags. Q: Console shows errors A: Open DevTools Console and fix bracket/quote mismatches at the reported line. Q: Hard to type on mobile A: Use landscape mode or continue on desktop—the same URL keeps progress in localStorage.

Interview / portfolio tips

- Explain the techniques in "Project Filter" in your own words within 30 seconds - Practice walking through each line of the sample solution on a whiteboard - Connect this task to a real component you would ship - Mention responsive or accessibility trade-offs - Describe when you use: console.log, .filter(
