Array Map

Definitions

1. The operation of transforming each element of an array into a corresponding output value, usually by applying a function and returning a new array. In many languages, map is a core collection primitive used to express data transformation declaratively instead of with manual loops.

   In plain English: Applying the same transformation to each item in an array to create a new array.

   Example: "The render path got simpler once they used array map to turn API records directly into component props."
