We often commit complex ideas to memory by visualizing them. There aren’t many coding articles using visuals as starting point for learning. And yet, visualization plays important role in education. This also applies to coding.

Even after working with map, filter and reduce for years I still often find myself asking: Is a copy of the original array made? Is reference to the original array modified? I made this tutorial to put an end to these questions.

My hope is that once it is seen visually – it will be easier to memorize.

Array.map map all values to an expression.
