# W02D02 Morning Warmup
![Cat Programmer](http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/99/9903c7c14add3fd0758b7b5b80c24d48101f296f13ce34736799a82c71f61bc2.jpg)
# JAVASCRIPT ITERATORS
#####`.forEach`, `.map`, and `.reduce`
Javascript iterators are like loops. They step (or iterate) over each item in an array. Iterators perform operations according to conditions specified in a callback.
# .forEach
`.forEach` is the basic iterator, all it does is step through each item in an array.
#### EXAMPLE:
```
arr = [8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8];
arr.forEach(function(n) {
console.log(n + 1);
});
=> Prints a bunch of 9s to the console
```
##### EXERCISE:
- Log each word in `words` in upper case using `.forEach.`
```
words = ["Ho", "Chi", "Minh", "City", "was", "once", "known", "as", "Prey", "Nokor"];
```
# .map
`.map` is like `.forEach` but it returns a new array with the selections and / or transformations applied in the iterator. `.map` saves to a new array and does not alter the original array.
EXAMPLE:
```
var new_arr = arr.map(function(n) {
return n += n / 2
});
=> [12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12]
```
####EXERCISE:
```
more_words = ["Joe", "Overreats", "Eggs"];
```
- Map to a new array that stores only the first letter from each word in `more_words`.
Expected result:
```
["J", "O", "E"]
```
...
# .reduce
`.reduce` iterates over the elements in an array and smooshes them together into a single variable according to the instructions in the iterator. Like `.map`, it returns a new value and does not alter the original array.
#### EXAMPLE:
Add together all numbers in an array:
```
arr = [8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8];
new_value = arr.reduce(function(sum, n){
return sum += n
});
=> 64
```
#### EXERCISE:
```
arr = [8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8];
```
- Return the *product* of the numbers in `arr`.
...
#### EXERCISE:
Using both `.map` and `.reduce`, find the total sheepCount of sheep shorn by sheep shearers at the 1623 Sheep Shearing Feast:
```
var sheepShearers = [
{
name: "Tim",
age: 20,
sheepCount: 18
},
{
name: "C3PO",
age: 200,
sheepCount: 320
},
{
name: "Cousin It",
age: Infinity,
sheepCount: 2900
}
];
```
```
=> 3238
```
#### FINISHED EARLY?:
Find a value in a given array
- Write a function `searchArray` that takes an array and value as parameters and searches the array for the given value. If the value is in the array, return `true`, otherwise return '-1'.
```javascript
var nums = [1,2,3,4,5]
searchArray(nums, 3) => true
searchArray(nums, 6) => -1
```
Here is some starter code:
```javascript
var searchArray = function(array,value) {
};
```
