Array callback function should not be used for an array with empty slots.

This rule applies when the Array functions having callback argument are used for an array with empty slots.

When the Array constructor is called with a single number argument, an array with the specified number of empty slots (not actual undefined values) is constructed.

If a callback function is passed to the function of this array, the callback function is never invoked because the array has no actual elements.
