Functional Programming: Implementing map on a Prototype

• Alright so continuing where we left off last time, map is a pure function, and its output depends solely on its inputs. Plus, it takes another function as its argument.

• You might learn a lot about themap method if you implement your own version of it. It is recommended you use a for loop or Array.prototype.forEach().

• Ex:
  

var s = [24, 55, 96, 4];

Array.prototype.myMap = function(callback) {
  var newArray = [];
  // Only change code below this line

  // Only change code above this line
  return newArray;
};

var new_s = s.myMap(function(item) {
  return item * 2;
});

• The Array instance can be accessed in the myMap method using this.

var s = [24, 55, 96, 4];

Array.prototype.myMap = function(callback) {
  var newArray = [];

for (let i = 0; i < this.length; i++) { // <---
  newArray.push(callback(this[i]))
}
  return newArray;
};

var new_s = s.myMap(function(item) {
  return item * 2;
});

• new_s should equal [48, 110, 192, 8].
