Calls the block, if given, with each element of self; returns a new Array whose elements are the return values from the block:
Example
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a1 = a.map {|element| element.class } a1 # => [Symbol, String, Integer]
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:
Example
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a1 = a.map a1 # => #<Enumerator: [:foo, "bar", 2]:map>
Array#collect is an alias for Array#map.
