I’m stuck on the Credit Card Checker project (JavaScript) in the Back End Engineer path. Specifically, I’m on the final step of the idInvalidCardCompanies function, and I just cannot get the array.filter method to work. After hours of banging my head against a wall, I switched directions and added code to check for the credit card company in the array before adding it instead of filtering for duplicates after the fact. I was able to complete the project with a functioning credit card checker by doing this, but I know it’s possible to filter an array for duplicates, and I’m extremely frustrated that I can’t get it to work. Can anyone see what I’m missing in the idInvalidCardCompanies function below? Thanks!
