is it possible to skip values while using the map method in javascript?

so for example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>


<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
var numbers = [4, 9, 16, 25];

function myFunction() {
    x = document.getElementById("demo")
    x.innerHTML = numbers.map(Math.sqrt);
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

this code is going to output 2,3,4,5

but can you make it output 2,4 so it checks the first value in the array then skips the second until the end

or

3,5 so it skips the first value in the array then checks the second value.

is this possible using the map method? or do I have to use a for loop?

Reset to default 2

You can use .filter() on the mapped array:

let numbers = [4, 9, 16, 25];

let output1 = numbers.map(Math.sqrt).filter((_, i) => (i % 2 == 0));
let output2 = numbers.map(Math.sqrt).filter((_, i) => (i % 2 != 0));

console.log(output1);
console.log(output2);

Is not possible using the function map because this function creates a new array with the same length of the source array.

An alternative is using the function reduce.

var numbers = [4, 9, 16, 25];
var result = numbers.reduce((a, n, i) => {
  if (n % 2 === 0) a.push(Math.sqrt(n));
  return a;
}, []);

console.log(result);
