Where did we get the index value from?

For example when we do the 

toggleConfirmationAt = indexToChange => {
    this.setState({
      guests: this.state.guests.map((guest, index) => {
        if(index === indexToChange) {
          return {
            ...guest,
            isConfirmed: !guest.isConfirmed
          }
        }
        return guest;
      })
    })
  }

The map method supplies both the current item and it's index as arguments to the callback.
