How do I use map and filter in JavaScript?

Can you explain how to use the map and filter methods in JavaScript?

Sure! The map method creates a new array by applying a function to each element of an array, while filter creates a new array with elements that pass a test.

Can you give me an example of using both methods?

Of course! Let's say you have an array of numbers: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. You can use map to double each number: const doubled = numbers.map(num => num * 2); This results in [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]. Then, you can use filter to get only the even numbers: const evens = numbers.filter(num => num % 2 === 0); This results in [2, 4].

What if I want to chain these methods together?

You can definitely chain them! For example: const result = numbers.map(num => num * 2).filter(num => num > 5); This will first double the numbers and then filter out those that are greater than 5.

That's really helpful! Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, chaining methods can be less performant than using a single loop, especially with large arrays. If performance is critical, consider using a single loop to achieve both mapping and filtering.
