Examples

Example 1:

private _arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0] apply { [1,0] select (_x % 2 == 0) }; // [1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0]

Example 2:

private _arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0] apply { _x ^ _x }; // [1,4,27,256,3125,46656,823543,16777216,387420480,1]

Example 3:

private _arr1 = []; _arr1 resize 20; _arr2 = _arr1 apply { 0 }; // [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

Example 4:

[0,1,2,3,4] apply { str _x }; // ["0","1","2","3","4"]

Example 5:

private _hashmap = createHashMapFromArray [["Key 1", "Value 1"], ["Key 2", "Value 2"]]; private _array = _hashmap apply { _y + " Test" }; // ["Value 2 Test","Value 1 Test"]

if performance really is an issue, apply seems to be (very) slightly faster than forEach (by more or less one percent, 0.7-1.5% in my tests to be precise).
