Thanks for pointing that out. This seems like a gray area. I don't know how I got under the impression that forEach mutates the original array items, maybe it was this post I looked up as I was writing the post. It's not entirely clear to me whatforEach actually returns if I ran it on an array its own.
I have around the web read general opinions that forEach iterates straight through arrays without breaking, and skips empty values, so that if one wanted to include a condition it would be easier to go with a for-loop. I don't have enough experience with forEach to tell, tbh

forEachdoes not return a value, it is a void function.Thank you! That makes a lot of sense.
