Produces a new array with all occurrences of the passed values removed using strict equality for comparisons, i.e. `===`.

#### Arguments
1. `array` *(Array)*: The array to filter.
2. `[value1, value2, ...]` *(Mixed)*: Values to remove.

#### Returns
*(Array)*: Returns a new filtered array.

#### Example
~~~ js
_.without([1, 2, 1, 0, 3, 1, 4], 0, 1);
// => [2, 3, 4]
~~~

### <a id="_wrapfunc-wrapper--arg1-arg2-"></a>`_.wrap(func, wrapper [, arg1, arg2, ...])`

Create a new function that passes the `func` function to the `wrapper` function as its first argument. Additional arguments are appended to those passed to the `wrapper` function.

#### Arguments
1. `func` *(Function)*: The function to wrap.
2. `wrapper` *(Function)*: The wrapper function.
3. `[arg1, arg2, ...]` *(Mixed)*: Arguments to append to those passed to the wrapper.

#### Returns
*(Function)*: Returns the new function.

#### Example
~~~ js
var hello = function(name) { return 'hello: ' + name; };
hello = _.wrap(hello, function(func) {
  return 'before, ' + func('moe') + ', after';
});
hello();
// => 'before, hello: moe, after'

### <a id="_ziparray1-array2-"></a>`_.zip([array1, array2, ...])`
<a href="#_ziparray1-array2-">#</a> [&#x24C8;](https://github.com/bestiejs/lodash/blob/master/lodash.js#L1702 "View in source") [&#x24C9;][1]

Merges together the values of each of the arrays with the value at the corresponding position. Useful for separate data sources that are coordinated through matching array indexes. For a matrix of nested arrays, `_.zip.apply(...)` can transpose the matrix in a similar fashion.

#### Arguments
1. `[array1, array2, ...]` *(Array)*: Arrays to process.

#### Returns
*(Array)*: Returns a new array of merged arrays.

#### Example
~~~ js
_.zip(['moe', 'larry', 'curly'], [30, 40, 50], [true, false, false]);
// => [['moe', 30, true], ['larry', 40, false], ['curly', 50, false]]
