 ### Why Immutability Is Important {#why-immutability-is-important}
 
-In the previous code example, we suggested that you use the `.slice()` method to create a copy of the `squares` array to modify instead of modifying the existing array. We'll now discuss immutability and why immutability is important to learn.
