Check for falsy values on array

Question

I don't understand why this piece of code works can someone explain to me?

If I delete this piece of the conditional && arr[i] the value of arr[5] don't assume as a falsy value, but if I write that piece of code already assumes arr[5] like a falsy value.

You can see the value of arr[5] on the end of the function.

function bouncer(arr) {
  let word = []
  for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
    if (typeof arr[i] !== Boolean && arr[i]) {
      word.push(arr[i])
    }
  return word;
}

console.log(bouncer([false, null, 0, NaN, undefined, ""]));

Answer 1

maybe You can do it simplier :-)

let arr = [false, null, 0, NaN, undefined, "", 111, "aaa"];

let x = arr.filter(i => (typeof i !== Boolean && i))
