### List of all methods on array:
Method | Parameters | Use ------------ | ------------- | -------------- shuffle | array: Array | Shuffles array and returns it removeDuplicates | array: Array | Removes all duplicate elements and returns a new array pickRandom | array: Array,
n: Number,
unique?: Boolean | Returns an array of n random elements from array.
The returned elements will be unique if true is passed in the third parameter countItem | array: Array,
item: any | Returns the frequency of the passed item in the array countAll | array: Array | Returns a map which holds the frequencies of all items in the array searchItems | array: Array,
item: any | Returns all positions where the given item is found removeItems | array: Array,
item: any | Deletes multiple occurances of the given item toArray | x: (string, number) | Converts string or number to array of characters or digits merge | array1: Array,
array2: Array,
type?: string | Merge two arrays.

type == 'merge-all': Keep the duplicates
type == 'common': Returns common elements
no type: Merge and remove common clean | array: Array | Removes null, undefined, '', NaN flatten | array: Array | Flattens all nested arrays inside swapByPosition | array: Array,
pos1: number,
pos2: number | Swaps values in pos1 and pos2 in the array swapByValues | array: Array,
value1: any,
value2: any | Swaps value1 and value2 in the array perform | array: Array,
operation: string | Performs the said operation on the array.
Allowed Operations:
sum, product, min, max, average arrayToObject | array: Array | Converts an array to object slide | array: Array,
steps: number,
direction?: string | Shifts array by n steps in the given direction. The default direction is left range | array: Array,
start: number,
end: number | Returns a subarray from start to end - 1 jump | array: Array,
steps: number | Returns a subarray jumping the steps mentioned isUnique | array: Array | Return true if all elements are unique in the array and false otherwise
### List of all methods on array of objects:
Method | Parameters | Use ------------ | ------------- | -------------- arrayOfObjectsToObject | array: Array,
keyField: string | Converts an array of objects to an object where key is keyField sortByKeyField | array: Array,
keyField: string,
order?: string | Sorts an array of objects based on keyField. Default sorting order is ascending. Pass 'desc' to order for reverse. getFields | array: Array,
fields: Array | Returns an array of objects containing only the required fields getOneField | array: Array,
field: string | Returns an array of all the values of the particular field searchByKeyField | array: Array,
searchField: string,
searchValue: string,
reqFields?: Array | Searches the array for the given (key, value) pair and returns only the reqFields. If nothing is passed, the whole object is returned. deleteByKeyField | array: Array,
field: string,
value: string | Deletes an item based on the (key, value) pair getKeys | array: Array | Returns an array of all the keys inside the object. Assumes that all objects have the same keys findObjects | array: Array,
func: Function | Executes the function on all objects and returns the satisfied objects
