Array Methods (map, filter, reduce, etc.)

Absolutely, JavaScript provides a rich set of array methods for manipulating and transforming data within arrays. Here’s a breakdown of some commonly used methods with examples:

1. map():

This method creates a new array by applying a function to each element of the original array. It’s useful for transforming elements based on a specific logic.

• Example: Let’s say you have an array of numbers and want to double each value.

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

const doubledNumbers = numbers.map(number => number * 2);

console.log(doubledNumbers); // Output: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

filter():

This method creates a new array containing only elements that pass a test implemented by a provided function.

• Example: Let’s create a new array with only even numbers from the previous numbers array.

const evenNumbers = numbers.filter(number => number % 2 === 0);

console.log(evenNumbers); // Output: [2, 4]

forEach():

This method executes a provided function once for each element in the array. It doesn’t create a new array, but is useful for performing side effects on each element (e.g., logging).

• Example: Let’s simply log each number in the numbers array.

numbers.forEach(number => console.log(number));

// Output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (each number on a new line)

These are just a few examples, and there are many other array methods available in JavaScript like find(), findIndex(), sort(), and more.
