Can the map method modify the original array?

Does the map method in JavaScript modify the original array?

No, the map method does not modify the original array. It creates a new array with the results.

Can you give me an example of how the map method works?

Sure! If you have an array like [1, 2, 3] and use map to multiply each element by 2, you'll get [2, 4, 6].

What happens if I modify the elements inside the map function?

If you modify the elements inside the map function, it will only affect the new array, not the original one.

Are there any methods that do modify the original array?

Yes, methods like push, pop, shift, and unshift modify the original array directly.
