How to write custom callback function to an array (apply a function to each element) in TypeScript

Answer 1

// Using a custom callback function
// mimic the callback‑passing style from languages like C or Go:

// Custom function that applies a callback to each element
function applyToArray(
  arr: number[],
  callback: (x: number) => number
): number[] {
  const result: number[] = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    result.push(callback(arr[i]));
  }

  return result;
}

// callback function
function square(x: number): number {
  return x * x;
}

const numbers = [2, 4, 6];

const squared = applyToArray(numbers, square);

console.log(squared);



/*
run:

[4, 16, 36] 

*/
