I may be on 6kyu but I keep initializing empty arrays instead of using a JavaScript high order array method. I always look at the best practices solutions and want to kick myself when I see some of the excellet solutions. I'm hoping my brain starts working soon and I use HOA methods. When it does I'm moving onto 5kyu.

I thought using a for loop ws a bad idea but then I saw that the top best practices solutions used a for loop as well. That made me feel better.
