Required Functions

This function directly requires the following functions which are included automatically:

  • has()
    Every object descended from Object inherits the hasOwnProperty method. This method can be used to determine whether an object has the specified property as a direct property of that object; unlike the in operator, this method does not check down the object's prototype chain.
  • slice()
    Slice does not modify the original array, but instead returns a shallow copy of elements from the original array.
