ForEach vs Map function

In simple words,

ForEach allows you to iterate over the list of items.

Map function allows you to perform Iteration AND transform the items, you can choose whether you want to transform or do you just want to iterate.

If we choose to work with Map instead, it not only allows us to iterate but also to transform if we want.

Map transformation example

If we want to do only iteration, we can do
