Returns the changed object, but the original object remains as it was. For example:
arr = [1, 2, 3]
arr.map { |i| i + 1 } # => [2, 3, 4]
arr # => [1, 2, 3]
map!
changes the original object:
arr = [1, 2, 3]
arr.map! { |i| i + 1 } # => [2, 3, 4]
arr # => [2, 3, 4]
Note: you can also use collect
to do the same thing.
