## Usage
```javascript
var mapFun = require( '@stdlib/utils/map-function' );
```
#### mapFun( fcn, n\[, thisArg ] )
Invokes a function `n` times and returns an `array` of accumulated function return values.
```javascript
function fcn( i ) {
return i;
}
var arr = mapFun( fcn, 5 );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
```
To set the function execution context, provide a `thisArg`.
```javascript
function fcn( i ) {
this.count += 1;
return i;
}
var context = {
'count': 0
};
var arr = mapFun( fcn, 5, context );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
console.log( context.count );
// => 5
```
