Q4. Difference between map and forEach ?
Ans. 
map returns a new array with modified elements, forEach does not return anything and just iterates over the array.

Q6. What is Currying function ?
Ans. 
Currying is a technique in functional programming where a function with multiple arguments is transformed into a sequence of functions, each taking a single argument.
• Currying helps in creating reusable functions and improving code readability.

• It allows partial application of functions, where some arguments are fixed and others are left to be provided later.

• Example: const add = (a) => (b) => a + b; add(2)(3) will return
