 +===== map =====
 +
 +Like forEach, <color black/pink>map</color> is a method for arrays. The big difference is that map applies a function to each item in the array and then returns an array filled with the result of those function calls. Like forEach, it's common to use an arrow function with map. We often use it with a one-argument function. There are other possibilities which we might look at later.
 +
 +For example, if we have an array of numbers, we can do some math with those numbers and get a new array.
 +
 +<code>
 +let numberOfSlicesOfToast = [2,2,3,2,1];
 +
 +let lotsMoreToast = numberOfSlicesOfToast.map(t => t *10)
 +</code>
 +
 +That's a lot of toast, but it was pretty easy to get those numbers by using map.
