# map<T> method

Iterable<T> map<T>(

1. T f(
   1. E element
   )

)
override

The current elements of this iterable modified by `toElement`.

Returns a new lazy Iterable with elements that are created by calling `toElement` on each element of this `Iterable` in iteration order.

The returned iterable is lazy, so it won't iterate the elements of this iterable until it is itself iterated, and then it will apply `toElement` to create one element at a time. The converted elements are not cached. Iterating multiple times over the returned Iterable will invoke the supplied `toElement` function once per element for on each iteration.

Methods on the returned iterable are allowed to omit calling `toElement` on any element where the result isn't needed. For example, elementAt may call `toElement` only once.

Equivalent to:

    Iterable<T> map<T>(T toElement(E e)) sync* {
      for (var value in this) {
        yield toElement(value);
      }
    }

Example:

    var products = jsonDecode('''
    [
      {"name": "Screwdriver", "price": 42.00},
      {"name": "Wingnut", "price": 0.50}
    ]
    ''');
    var values = products.map((product) => product['price'] as double);
    var totalPrice = values.fold(0.0, (a, b) => a + b); // 42.5.

## Implementation

    Iterable<T> map<T>(T f(E element)) => MappedListIterable<E, T>(this, f);
