js rest perator code example

Example 1: the rest operator javascript

function sum(...numbers) {
	return numbers.reduce((accumulator, current) => {
		return accumulator += current;
	});
};
 
sum(1,2) // 3
sum(1,2,3,4,5) // 15

Example 2: rest parameters

// Before rest parameters, "arguments" could be converted to a normal array using:

function f(a, b) {

  let normalArray = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)
  // -- or --
  let normalArray = [].slice.call(arguments)
  // -- or --
  let normalArray = Array.from(arguments)

  let first = normalArray.shift()  // OK, gives the first argument
  let first = arguments.shift()    // ERROR (arguments is not a normal array)
}

// Now, you can easily gain access to a normal array using a rest parameter

function f(...args) {
  let normalArray = args
  let first = normalArray.shift() // OK, gives the first argument
}
