You can see the syntax. The map() function loops through an array using a callback function (or the mapping function). Each element in the array is sent to the callback function, which returns a new element. The map() creates a new array using the returned elements. 


Syntax 

array.map(callback[, thisObject]);   

Parameters 

callback − It produces an element for the new array from an element of the current one. 

thisObject − when executing the callback, this Object is used. 

The map () executes as an alternative to our for loops. It reduces the length of your code and requires a little practice.  

Benefits of using array map(): 

  • You don't have to define any index. Since you operate with the array element, you don't have to define any index. 
  • No need to create a new array and push elements into it. 
  • Don't have to create any loop. 
  • We have to put in a return statement. Otherwise, we will get an array of undefined. 
  • You feel free to assign to a new variable because the map returns a finished array  
  • It does not access the function for empty elements. 
  • It does not change the original array.
