JavaScript: Remove elements in an array until the passed function returns true

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-241 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to remove elements from an array until the passed function returns true. Returns the remaining elements in the array.

• Loop through the array, using Array.prototype.slice() to drop the first element of the array until the value returned from func is true.
• Return the remaining elements.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 
const dropWhile = (arr, func) => {
  while (arr.length > 0 && !func(arr[0])) arr = arr.slice(1);
  return arr;
};

console.log(dropWhile([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n >= 3));

Sample Output:

[3,4]
