how to use the nth function from the lodash library in typescript

To use the nth function from the lodash library in TypeScript, you first need to install the lodash library as a dependency in your project.

You can do this using npm:

index.ts
npm install lodash

Then, you can import the nth function from the lodash library and use it in your TypeScript code like this:

index.ts
import nth from 'lodash/nth';

const myArray = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];
const thirdItem = nth(myArray, 2); // thirdItem will be 'baz'

// You can also specify a negative index to count from the end of the array
const lastItem = nth(myArray, -1); // lastItem will be 'baz'

The nth function takes two arguments: the array to get the item from, and the index of the item to retrieve (with the first item in the array being at index 0). If the index is negative, it counts from the end of the array.

Note that if the index is out of the range of the array (for example, if the array has 3 items and you try to get the item at index 4), undefined will be returned.
