`it` is a builtin variable which refers to element currently being processed in filter/map methods.
`it` is a builtin variable which refers to the element currently being
processed in filter/map methods.
Additionally, `.any()` and `.all()` can be used to conveniently test
for elements that satisfy a condition.

There are further built in methods for arrays:
* `b := a.repeat(n)` concatenate `n` times the elements of `a`
* `a.insert(i, val)` insert new element `val` at index `i` and move all following elements upwards
* `a.insert(i, [3, 4, 5])` insert several elements
* `a.prepend(val)` insert value at beginning, equivalent to `a.insert(0, val)`
* `a.prepend(arr)` insert elements of array `arr` at beginning
* `a.trim(new_len)` truncate the length (if `new_length < a.len`, otherwise do nothing)
* `a.clear()` empty the array (without changing `cap`, equivalent to `a.trim(0)`)
* `a.delete_many(start, size)` removes `size` consecutive elements beginning with index `start`
There are further built-in methods for arrays:
* `a.repeat(n)` concatenates the array elements `n` times
* `a.insert(i, val)` inserts a new element `val` at index `i` and
shifts all following elements to the right
* `a.insert(i, [3, 4, 5])` inserts several elements
* `a.prepend(val)` inserts a value at the beginning, equivalent to `a.insert(0, val)`
* `a.prepend(arr)` inserts elements of array `arr` at the beginning
* `a.trim(new_len)` truncates the length (if `new_length < a.len`, otherwise does nothing)
* `a.clear()` empties the array without changing `cap` (equivalent to `a.trim(0)`)
* `a.delete_many(start, size)` removes `size` consecutive elements from index `start`
&ndash; triggers reallocation
* `a.delete(index)` equivalent to `a.delete_many(index, 1)`
* `v := a.first()` equivalent to `v := a[0]`
* `v := a.last()` equivalent to `v := a[a.len - 1]`
* `v := a.pop()` get last element and remove it from array
* `a.delete_last()` remove last element from array
* `b := a.reverse()` make `b` contain the elements of `a` in reversed order
* `a.reverse_in_place()` reverse the order of elements in `a`
* `a.join(joiner)` concatenate array of strings into a string using `joiner` string as a separator
* `a.delete_last()` removes the last element
* `a.first()` equivalent to `a[0]`
* `a.last()` equivalent to `a[a.len - 1]`
* `a.pop()` removes the last element and returns it
* `a.reverse()` makes a new array with the elements of `a` in reverse order
* `a.reverse_in_place()` reverses the order of elements in `a`
* `a.join(joiner)` concatenates an array of strings into one string
using `joiner` string as a separator
#### Sorting Arrays

##### Sorting Arrays
Sorting arrays of all kinds is very simple and intuitive. Special variables `a` and `b`
are used when providing a custom sorting condition.
