But sometimes, explicit iteration can't be avoided. For example, imaging you need to reduce an array of elements (a jQuery object) to an array of string values. The each() function is a tool of choice here:

const eachText = [];$('td')  .each((i, td) => {    if (td.textContent.startsWith('H')) {      eachText.push(td.textContent);    }  });console.log('each', eachText); // ["Hamlet", "Henry IV, Part I", "History", "Henry V", "History"] ...
