how map works in node code example

Example 1: javascript array transform

const array1 = [1, 4, 9, 16];

// pass a function to map
const map1 = array1.map(x => x * 2);

console.log(map1);
// expected output: Array [2, 8, 18, 32]

Example 2: javascript map

array.map( item => item.id )

array2.map( item => item.toString() )

array2.map( item => item * 3 )

// this will apply a transformation to all elements of an array
// "" item => something "" is the transformation (function)
