Math.floor(Math.random() * 0xffffff) gives numbers in the range 0..0xfffffe, not 0..0xffffff. You want Math.floor(Math.random() * (0xffffff + 1)), i.e. Math.floor(Math.random() * 0x1000000) 😉

Reverse string can be shortened to:

const reverseString = str => [...str].reverse().join()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Your version also has an issue with unicode, which the above function fixes:

"🤓🚀🐍".split('').reverse().join('')   //  "\udc0d🚀🔓\ud83e"

[..."🤓🚀🐍"].reverse().join('')   // "🐍🚀🤓"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Filtering falsy values can also be shortened:

const removeFalsyValues = arr => arr.filter(x=>x)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Filtering falsy values can also be done like...

const removeFalsyValues = arr => arr.filter(Boolean)

Thanks for your good article!

we actually had it this way originally 😄. both ways work, i think the updated one may save a character or two. i'll add a note, so that both are covered though!
