map() takes a function as argument which will run on all elements on the array (getting a transformed value), and then return a new array with all transformed values.
If we run the following array through .map(x => x + 1) we get:

[1, 2, 3]
 |  |  |
 v  v  v
[2, 3, 4]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

forEach() will just iterate on the array. Its return value is undefined.

Neither function will mutate the original array.
