The unzip function takes an array of arrays and groups the elements by their index. For example:

const pairs = [
  ['a', 1],
  ['b', 2],
  ['c', 3],
];

const unzipped = unzip(pairs);

console.log(unzipped);
// Output: [
//   ['a', 'b', 'c'],
//   [1, 2, 3],
// ]

In this example, the unzip function takes the pairs array and groups the elements by their index. The first element of each sub-array is grouped together in the first array of the result, and the second element of each sub-array is grouped together in the second array of the result. The result is then returned.

This is a useful function when you need to split an array of pairs, such as a set of coordinates or key-value pairs, into two separate arrays.
