Laravel, what can each() function do?

I have no specific work to do, just want to know what each() can do. I have googled, and saw this post: http://ift.tt/2qqq6y4
It says

each is there to perform some operations on all items, that's all there is to it and that is what each is already doing.

What are the operations?
