Array.map

Definition

[].map(function(currVal, idx, arr) { }[, thisArg]);

Sample Code

// Simple
var arr = ["a", "b", "c"];
var helloArr = arr.map(function(x) { return "Hello " + x; });
helloArr.forEach(console.log);
 
// Using thisArg
var item = { sum: 0 };
var newArray = [1,2,3].map(function(x) { this.sum += x; return x * 10; }, item);
console.log(item.sum); // 6
console.log(newArray); // [10,20,30]
