In the example find is the solution that is the best description for the wanted behavior.
In general, if you "wanted perform some calculations on each item of an array", prefer map (a pure transformation of each object) over imperative for and forEach.
Totally agree . People who start programming, generally they start with the procedural paradigm of programming. for loop is one the first thing that people come across (along with if-else). That sticks to their mind forever , until functional programming is introduced to them . Its just matter of time to get used to such paradigm . I am pretty sure with few weeks, the author of the article will be very well versed in functional programming

Wondering why you didn't use
[12,3,44,5].findfunction for the same ?What I'm loving about this thread is reading all the ways to accomplish my coding goal 😊 Thanks so much for your suggestion.
Because of this reason I joined dev.to recently .
Back to the arrays discussion, the trend of using for loop will go away.
For every use case there must be some array function available.
