    Array.map()

Returns a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element in this array.

const list = [😫, 😫, 😫, 😫];
list.map((⚪️) => 😀); // [😀, 😀, 😀, 😀]

// Code
const list = [1, 2, 3, 4];
list.map((el) => el * 2); // [2, 4, 6, 8]


Array.filter()

Returns a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.

const list = [😀, 😫, 😀, 😫];
list.filter((⚪️) => ⚪️ === 😀); // [😀, 😀]

// Code
const list = [1, 2, 3, 4];
list.filter((el) => el % 2 === 0); // [2, 4]


Array.reduce()

Reduce the array to a single value. The value returned by the function is stored in an accumulator (result/total).

const list = [😀, 😫, 😀, 😫, 🤪];
list.reduce((⬜️, ⚪️) => ⬜️ + ⚪️); // 😀 + 😫 + 😀 + 😫 + 🤪

// OR
const list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
list.reduce((total, item) => total + item, 0); // 15


Array.reduceRight()

Executes a reducer function (that you provide) on each element of the array resulting in a single output value(from right to left).

const list = [😀, 😫, 😀, 😫, 🤪];
list.reduceRight((⬜️, ⚪️) => ⬜️ + ⚪️); // 🤪 + 😫 + 😀 + 😫 + 😀

// Code
const list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
list.reduceRight((total, item) => total + item, 0); // 15


Array.fill()

Fill the elements in an array with a static value.

const list = [😀, 😫, 😀, 😫, 🤪];
list.fill(😀); // [😀, 😀, 😀, 😀, 😀]

// Code
const list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
list.fill(0); // [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]


Array.find()

Returns the value of the first element in the array that satisfies the provided testing function. Otherwise undefined is returned.

const list = [😀, 😫, 😀, 😫, 🤪];
list.find((⚪️) => ⚪️ === 😀); // 😀
list.find((⚪️) => ⚪️ === 😝); // undefined

list.find((el) => el === 3); // 3
list.find((el) => el === 6); // undefined


Array.indexOf()

Returns the first index at which a given element can be found in the array, or -1 if it is not present.

// Code
const list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
list.indexOf(3); // 2
list.indexOf(6); // -1


Array.lastIndexOf()

Returns the last index at which a given element can be found in the array, or -1 if it is not present. The array is searched backwards, starting at fromIndex.

const list = [😀, 😫, 😀, 😫, 🤪];
list.lastIndexOf(😀); // 3
list.lastIndexOf(😀, 1); // 0

// Code
const list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
list.lastIndexOf(3); // 2
list.lastIndexOf(3, 1); // -1


Array.findIndex()

Returns the index of the first element in the array that satisfies the provided testing function. Otherwise -1 is returned.

const list = [😀, 😫, 😀, 😫, 🤪];
list.findIndex((⚪️) => ⚪️ === 😀); // 0

// You might be thinking how it's different from `indexOf` 🤔
const array = [5, 12, 8, 130, 44];
array.findIndex((element) => element > 13); // 3

// OR
const array = [{
  id: 😀
}, {
  id: 😫
}, {
  id: 🤪
}];

array.findIndex((element) => element.id === 🤪); // 2


Array.includes()

list.unshift(0); // 6
list; // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]


Array.splice()

Changes the contents of an array by removing or replacing existing elements and/or adding new elements in place.

const list = [😀, 😫, 😀, 😫, 🤪];
list.sort(); // [😀, 😀, 😫, 😫, 🤪]

// This make more sense 🤔
const array = ['D', 'B', 'A', 'C'];
