how to use the nth function from lodash in javascript

To use the nth function from Lodash in JavaScript, you'll need to first install the Lodash library, either via NPM or by including it in your HTML file:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/lodash/4.17.15/lodash.min.js"></script>

Once you have Lodash installed, you can use the _.nth method to get the element at the nth index of an array. Here's an example:

index.tsx
// import lodash
const _ = require('lodash');

const myArray = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date'];
const thirdItem = _.nth(myArray, 2); // 'cherry'

console.log(thirdItem);

In this example, we have an array called myArray with four elements. We want to get the element at the third index (which, remember, is zero-indexed), so we call _.nth(myArray, 2) and assign the result to thirdItem. thirdItem is then logged to the console, which will output 'cherry'.

Note that if the index you pass to _.nth is negative, it will retrieve from the end of the array. So _.nth(myArray, -1) would return the last element of myArray ('date' in this case).
