JavaScript Array Looping: map vs forEach

map vs forEach in JavaScript 🧠 Both are used to loop over arrays, but they are NOT the same. forEach 👇 • Used to perform an action • Does NOT return a new array • Mostly used for side effects (console, API call) map 👇 • Used to transform data • ALWAYS returns a new array • Very common in React rendering Simple rule to remember: Need a new array? → use map   Just doing something? → use forEach  Understanding this avoids many beginner mistakes 🚀 #javascript #frontenddeveloper #webdevelopment #coding #learningjavascript #reactjs #softwareengineering
