Array methods help you express collection work without manual loops. The most useful distinction is whether a method creates a new array or changes the original one.

map returns one new value for every input item. Use it to produce display data or reshape API results.
Select with filter
filter keeps only items that pass a condition. It is ideal for search, permissions, and status views.
