Difference between a map and reach function.

$.map $.each
map method can be used as an iterator each method is an immutable iterator
Return a New array Return an original array
Does not have a way to terminate the iteration Return false to terminate the iteration

Example:

$(document).ready(function () {
    var intArray = [1,2,3,4,5];

    function functionA( index, element ) {
      return element * 5;
    }

    function functionB( element, index ) {
      return element * 5;
    }

    var result1 = $.each(intArray , functionA);
    var result2 = $.map(intArray , functionB);

    document.write('each = ' + result1);
    document.write('<br>');
    document.write('map = ' + result2);
  });

output:
