array reduction code example

Example 1: javascript reduce array of objects

var objs = [
  {name: "Peter", age: 35},
  {name: "John", age: 27},
  {name: "Jake", age: 28}
];

objs.reduce(function(accumulator, currentValue) {
  return accumulator + currentValue.age;
}, 0); // 35 + 27 + 28 = 90

Example 2: javascript reduce

var array = [36, 25, 6, 15];

array.reduce(function(accumulator, currentValue) {
  return accumulator + currentValue;
}, 0); // 36 + 25 + 6 + 15 = 82

Example 3: javascript sum array values

function getArraySum(a){
    var total=0;
    for(var i in a) { 
        total += a[i];
    }
    return total;
}

var payChecks = [123,155,134, 205, 105]; 
var weeklyPay= getArraySum(payChecks); //sums up to 722

Example 4: array reduce

arr.reduce(callback( accumulator, currentValue[, index[, array]] ) {
  // return result from executing something for accumulator or currentValue
}[, initialValue]);
