Trying to understand some basic Javascript logic

const nums = [1, 50, 75, 200, 350, 525, 1000];
const smallerNums = nums.map(num => num - 5);
console.log(smallerNums);

Hello, Javascript newb here. The above is taken from CodeAcademy. I just want to make sure I understand the basic logic here:

Is this saying the new array ‘smallerNums’ is built when ‘num – 5’ is returned. The parameter num, is what is ‘iterating’ through the established array nums, to identify each element, then for ‘num – 5’ to take this value, subtract five and hence find a new value which will appear in the smallerNums array.

Terminal, btw :

[
   -4,  45,  70, 195,
  345, 520, 995
]

>Solution :

Yes you are basically mapping the value of nums array subtracted by 5 to a new array which is smallerNums.

map() creates a new array from calling a function for every array element.
