Using c-style array
#include <iostream> //cout for printing #include <algorithm> //for_each defined here //create the function (print the square) void print_square(int i) { std::cout << i*i << " "; } int main() { //create the array int ary[]={1,2,3,4,5}; //stl for_each std::for_each(ary,ary+5,print_square); return 0; } //prints 1 4 9 16 25

More tricky with binary function
#include <iostream> //cout for printing #include <algorithm> //for_each defined here #include <vector> //stl vector class #include <functional> //bind and ptr_fun //create a binary function (print any two arguments together) template<class type1,class type2> void print_juxtaposed(type1 x, type2 y) { std::cout << x << y; } int main() { //create the array std::vector<int> ary; ary.push_back(1); ary.push_back(2); ary.push_back(3); ary.push_back(4); ary.push_back(5); //stl for_each, using binder and adaptable unary function std::for_each(ary.begin(),ary.end(),std::bind2nd(std::ptr_fun(print_juxtaposed<int,std::string>),"x ")); return 0; } //prints 1x 2x 3x 4x 5x
Using Boost.Lambda
using namespace std; using namespace boost::lambda; vector<int> ary(10); int i = 0; for_each(ary.begin(), ary.end(), _1 = ++var(i)); // init array transform(ary.begin(), ary.end(), ostream_iterator<int>(cout, " "), _1 * _1); // square and output
Clean
Define a function and an initial (unboxed) array.
square x = x * x values :: {#Int} values = {x \\ x <- [1 .. 10]}
One can easily define a map for arrays, which is overloaded and works for all kinds of arrays (lazy, strict, unboxed).
mapArray f array = {f x \\ x <-: array}
Apply the function to the initial array (using a comprehension) and print result.
Start :: {#Int} Start = mapArray square values
Common Lisp
Imperative: print 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5:
(map nil #'print #(1 2 3 4 5))
Functional: collect squares into new vector that is returned:
(defun square (x) (* x x)) (map 'vector #'square #(1 2 3 4 5))
Destructive, like the Javascript example; add 1 to every slot of vector *a*:
(defvar *a* (vector 1 2 3)) (map-into *a* #'1+ *a*)
E
def array := [1,2,3,4,5] def square(value) { return value * value }
Example of builtin iteration:
def callback(index, value) { println(`Item $index is $value.`) } array.iterate(callback)
There is no builtin map function yet. the following is one of the ways one could be implemented, returning a plain list (which is usually an array in implementation).
def map(func, collection) { def output := [].diverge() for item in collection { output.push(func(item)) } return output.snapshot() } println(map(square, array))
Forth
This is a word that will call a given function on each cell in an array.
: map ( addr n fn -- ) -rot cells bounds do i @ over execute i ! cell +loop ;
Example usage:
create data 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , data 5 ' 1+ map \ adds one to each element of data

let printSquares = putStr.unlines.map (show.square) printSquares values
IDL
Hard to come up with an example that isn't completely contrived. IDL doesn't really distinguish between a scalar and an array; thus
b = a^3
will yield a scalar if a is scalar or a vector if a is a vector or an n-dimensional array is a is an n-dimensional array
JavaScript
Portable technique:
function map(a, func) { for (var i in a) a[i] = func(a[i]); } var a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; map(a, function(v) { return v * v; });
With the BeyondJS library:
var a = (1).to(10).collect(Math.pow.curry(undefined,2));
With Firefox 2.0:
function cube(num) { return Math.pow(num, 3); } var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; //get results of calling cube on every element var cubes1 = numbers.map(cube); //display each result in a separate dialog cubes1.forEach(alert); //array comprehension var cubes2 = [cube(n) for each (n in numbers)]; var cubes3 = [n * n * n for each (n in numbers)];
Lua
Say we have an array:
myArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
A map function for this would be
map = function(f, data) local result = {} for k,v in ipairs(data) do result[k] = f(v) end return result end
Together with our array and and a square function this yields:
myFunc = function(x) return x*x end print(unpack( map(myFunc, myArray) )) --> 1 4 9 16 25
If you used pairs() instead of ipairs(), this would even work on a hash table in general.
OCaml
This function is part of the standard library:
Array.map
Usage example:
let square x = x * x;; let values = Array.init 10 ((+) 1);; Array.map square values;;
Perl
# create array my @a = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
# create callback function sub mycallback { return 2 * shift; }
# use array indexing my $i; for ($i = 0; $i < scalar @a; $i++) { print "mycallback($a[$i]) = ", mycallback($a[$i]), "\n"; }
# using foreach foreach my $x (@a) { print "mycallback($x) = ", mycallback($x), "\n"; }
# using map (useful for transforming an array) my @b = map mycallback($_), @a; # @b is now (2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
# and the same using an anonymous function my @c = map { $_ * 2 } @a; # @c is now (2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
# use a callback stored in a variable my $func = \&mycallback; my @d = map &{$func}($_), @a; # @d is now (2, 4, 6, 8, 10)

If one wants to create a new array consisting of transformed values then procedure mapdata may be more convenient.
Python
def square(n): return n * n numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7] squares1 = [square(n) for n in numbers] # list comprehension squares2 = map(square, numbers) # discouraged nowadays squares3 = [n * n for n in numbers] # no need for a function, # anonymous or otherwise isquares = (n * n for n in numbers) # iterator, lazy
Ruby
# You could use a traditional "for i in arr" approach like below: for i in [1,2,3,4,5] do puts i**2 end
# Or you could the more preferred ruby way of an iterator (which is borrowed from SmallTalk) [1,2,3,4,5].each{ |i| puts i**2 }
# To create a new array of each value squared [1,2,3,4,5].map{ |i| i**2 }
Scala
val l = List(1,2,3,4) l.foreach {i => Console.println(i)}
Same for an array
val a = Array(1,2,3,4) a.foreach {i => Console.println(i)}
// Or for an externally defined function def doSomething(in: int) = {Console.println("Doing something with "+in)} l.foreach(doSomething)
There is also a for syntax, which is internally rewritten to call foreach. A foreach method must be define on a
for(val i <- a) Console.println(i)
It is also possible to apply a function on each item of an list to get a new list (same on array and most collections)
val squares = l.map{i => i * i} //returns List(1,4,9,16)
Or the equivalent for syntax, with the additional keyword yield, map is called instead of foreach
val squares = for (val i <- l) yield i * i
Scheme
(define (square n) (* n n)) (define x #(1 2 3 4 5)) (map square (vector->list x))
A single-line variation
(map (lambda (n) (* n n)) '(1 2 3 4 5))
For completeness, the map function (which is R5RS standard) can be coded as follows:
(define (map f L) (if (null? L) L (cons (f (car L)) (map f (cdr L)))))

Tcl
If I wanted to call "myfunc" on each element of dat and dat were a list:
foreach var $dat { myfunc $var }
if dat were an array, however:
foreach var [array names dat] { myfunc $dat($var) }
