## Description
<section id='description'>

The function in the `map` method can actually take a second argument: the index of the element.

This is why you need an arrow function in `charRange` - if you don't use one, then the index will be passed to `String.fromCharCode` as the second argument, leading to unexpected results. However, it is safe for functions like `parseFloat` which take only one argument (but not for `parseInt`).

Chain `.map((x, i) => x + i)` to `.fill(start)` to add its index to every element in the array in `range`.
