Script Preparation code:

  var array = [];
  for (var idx = 0; idx < 1000; idx++) {
    array[idx] = idx;
  }
  
  function oddNum(item) {
    return item % 2;
  }
  
  // Create a new array and push to it
  Array.prototype.pushFilter = function(condition) {
    // Create a new array and push to it
    var result = [];
    for(var i = 0, len = this.length; i < len; i++) {
      if (condition(this[i], i, this)) 
        result.push(this[i]);
    }
    return result;
  };
