    Map:

    Map use to take the object of enumerable and returns a new array with the results of running block once for every element in enum, the block is something like 

    [1,2,3].map { |a| a+2 }
    and the outcome of 
    [1,2,3].map { |a| a+2 } will be [3,4,5]

    If no block is given, an enumerator is returned.

    Collect:

    Collect is a similar method to Map which also takes the enumerable object and a block like this 

    [4,5,6].collect { |b| b*3 }
    and evaluates the block for each element and then return a new array with the calculated values.

    so the outcome 

    [4,5,6].collect{ |b| b*3 }
    of will be [12,15,18]

    or 

    (1..4).collect {|i| i+i }   #=> [2, 4, 6, 8]
    (1..4).collect { "dog"  }   #=> ["dog", "dog", "dog", "dog"]

    Note: Both Map and Collect are alias of each other.Both produce same results.
