map in javascript examples
Example 1: map in javascript
// Use map to create a new array in memory. Don't use if you're not returning
const arr = [1,2,3,4]
// Get squares of each element
const sqrs = arr.map((num) => num ** 2)
console.log(sqrs)
// [ 1, 4, 9, 16 ]
//Original array untouched
console.log(arr)
// [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
Example 2: map in javascript
let myMap = new Map()
let keyString = 'a string'
let keyObj = {}
// setting the values
myMap.set(keyString, "value associated with 'a string'")
myMap.set(keyObj, 'value associated with keyObj')
myMap.set(keyFunc, 'value associated with keyFunc')
myMap.size // 3
// getting the values
myMap.get(keyString) // "value associated with 'a string'"
myMap.get(keyObj) // "value associated with keyObj"
myMap.get(keyFunc) // "value associated with keyFunc"
