The map function is especially common in [[functional programming]] languages, but some [[high-level programming language|high-level]] [[procedural programming|procedural]] languages support it as well, and in others it may be defined. In [[Common Lisp]], there is a whole family of map-like functions. The one that corresponds to the behaviour described here is called mapcar. In C++'s standard library, the map function is called <code>transform</code>.
