## 1. What is the role of the map operator in RxJS?

**Answer**

The map operator transforms each value emitted by an observable by applying a projection function. It does not change the number of emissions or the stream structure, only the individual values. This operator is fundamental for data transformation, such as converting an HTTP response object into a specific array of elements.

## 2. What is the role of the filter operator in RxJS?

**Answer**

The filter operator only allows values that satisfy a condition defined by a predicate function to pass through. Values that do not match the predicate are simply ignored and not emitted to downstream observers. This operator is essential for reducing the data stream to only relevant elements.

## 3. How to transform an array of IDs into an array of user objects with map?

**Answer**

The map operator applies a transformation function to each emitted value. To transform an array of IDs into objects, simply use map with a function that creates the desired objects from the IDs. This approach is common for enriching raw data with additional properties or restructuring it according to application needs.
