Heap and Priority Queue

The function returns the correct result while keeping time and space tradeoffs visible.

Line-by-line explanation

  • 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;.
