Difference between map, filter vs for and forEach and what would be the advantages of using map and filter over For and forEach loops?

I have gone through the map and filter functionalities and got to know that there is some kind of differences and advantages over for and foreach.

Advantages:

  1. No need to write too much of code and very clear understanding

  2. Better performance compare to iteration

how map and filter will be the better performance ?

appreciate any kind of suggestions.
