difference between map and filer in javascript

Description:

The map() method creates a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element in the calling array.

Above description provided by MDN

Example:

const numbers = [12, 14, 8, 100];
const halves = numbers.map(x => x / 2);

// Console.log(halves)

// halves is [6, 7, 4, 50]

 map is used when you have an array of data( Like Math Term) and you want manipulate something ( another Math term with it) for every item in that array. Just call map for it . it will do the rest for you.

Description:

The filter() method creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.

Above description provided by MDN

Example:

const words = ["spray", "limit", "elite", "silverin", "warriors", "knowledge"];

const longWords = words.filter(word => word.length > 6);

// longWords is ["silverin", "warriors", "knowledge"]

like same map ‘filter’ is nothing special with it. It’s going over values in ‘string’ array checking each values in the array  and which  pass the condition, in this case which value has length greater than 6 and then returns a new array with those passed values.
