Research direction

Start with the linked Array methods page and the “Filter range "in place"” task, including its example and answer. Check the wording and solution against the stated inclusive test a ≤ arr[i] ≤ b; done when the task, example, and answer consistently describe the intended range behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

https://javascript.info/array-methods#tasks (The page in question)

[Filter range "in place"]

Write a function filterRangeInPlace(arr, a, b) that gets an array arr and removes from it all values except those that are between a and b. The test is: a ≤ arr[i] ≤ b.

the 'between' in task description implies excluding numbers 1 and 4 so only 2 and 3 should be valid.

let arr = [5, 3, 8, 1];

filterRangeInPlace(arr, 1, 4); // removed the numbers except from 1 to 4

alert( arr ); // [3, 1]

Yet here we have 1 along with 3. The answer is also same as previous task filterRange. Please fix the wording or use an && operator in the solution.
