JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
May you please help me with understanding some grammar? My current challenge says, " The Array instance can be accessed in the myMap method using this ."

In layman terms, what is the Array instance?
I have done some reading on this subject and I seek to finally understand the word instance.

  **Your code so far**


// The global variable
const s = [23, 65, 98, 5];

Array.prototype.myMap = function(callback) {
const newArray = [];

return newArray;
};

const new_s = s.myMap(function(item) {
return item * 2;
});

console.log(new_s)

I seek to understand the word instance in laymen terms.

The word instance was used differently to what I previously understood it as.
