Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

### mapString
Creates a new string with the results of calling a provided function on every character in the calling string.
Use `String.prototype.split('')` and `Array.prototype.map()` to call the provided function, `fn`, for each character in `str`.
Use `Array.prototype.join('')` to recombine the array of characters into a string.
The callback function, `fn`, takes three arguments (the current character, the index of the current character and the string `mapString` was called upon).
```js
const mapString = (str, fn) =>
str
.split('')
.map((c, i) => fn(c, i, str))
.join('');
```
```js
mapString('lorem ipsum', c => c.toUpperCase()); // 'LOREM IPSUM'
```
