Below shows a typical use of the For Loop.

Additionally a template literal is used along with a couple of conditional ternary operators.

Note that back-ticks (`) are used to denote a template literal.
```
for (let index = 10; index >= 0; index--) {
  console.log(
    `${index === 10 ? "Ignition sequence" : ""}  ${index} ${
      index === 0 ? "LIFT OFF!!!" : ""
    }`
  );
}
```

Ouput will be:

```
Ignition sequence  10
  9
  8
  7
  6
  5
  4
  3
  2
  1
  0 LIFT OFF!!!
```

Below shows a typical use of the array method map. Note use of the arrow function. If the arrow function contains only one statement, the curly brackets and return keyword can be omitted as shown below. Unlike the foreach array method, map returns a new array so is considered a pure function since it does not alter the input array (users in this case).
```
const users = ['john','derek','tracey','anna'];
const maptorocks = users.map(user => user + " totally rocks!");
console.log(maptorocks);
```

Output will be:

```
[ 'john totally rocks!',
  'derek totally rocks!',
  'tracey totally rocks!',
  'anna totally rocks!' ]
```
