- array: This parameter holds the array like object for searching.
- function(element, index): It is the filter function which takes two arguments, element which holds the element of the array and index which holds the index of that particular element.
- invert: It is false or not passed, then the function returns an array having all elements for which “callback” returns true. If this is passed true, then the function returns an array having all elements for which “callback” returns false.
