# Strain
Implement the `keep` and `discard` operation on collections. Given a collection
and a predicate on the collection's elements, `keep` returns a new collection
containing those elements where the predicate is true, while `discard` returns
a new collection containing those elements where the predicate is false.
For example, given the collection of numbers:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
And the predicate:
- is the number even?
Then your keep operation should produce:
- 2, 4
While your discard operation should produce:
- 1, 3, 5
Note that the union of keep and discard is all the elements.
The functions may be called `keep` and `discard`, or they may need different
names in order to not clash with existing functions or concepts in your
language.
## Restrictions
Keep your hands off that filter/reject/whatchamacallit functionality
provided by your standard library! Solve this one yourself using other
basic tools instead.
## Setup
Go through the setup instructions for JavaScript to
install the necessary dependencies:
http://exercism.io/languages/javascript
## Making the Test Suite Pass
Execute the tests with:
jasmine <exercise-name>.spec.js
Replace `<exercise-name>` with the name of the current exercise. E.g., to
test the Hello World exercise:
jasmine hello-world.spec.js
In many test suites all but the first test have been skipped.
Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by
changing `xit` to `it`.
