What this example teaches
Big O Tradeoffs
Output
The function returns the correct result while keeping time and space tradeoffs visible.
Line-by-line explanation
- Line 1 sets up the Big O Tradeoffs example: function uniqueValues(values) {.
- Line 2 adds one required part of the working pattern: const seen = new Set();.
- Line 3 exposes the output so you can verify the behavior: return values.filter((value) => {.
- Line 4 adds the decision or filter that controls the result: if (seen.has(value)) return false;.
- Line 5 adds one required part of the working pattern: seen.add(value);.
- Line 6 exposes the output so you can verify the behavior: return true;.
