the reduce method in javascript code example

Example 1: javascript reduce

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

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

Example 2: reduce javascript

/* this is our initial value i.e. the starting point*/
const initialValue = 0;

/* numbers array */
const numbers = [5, 10, 15];

/* reducer method that takes in the accumulator and next item */
const reducer = (accumulator, item) => {
  return accumulator + item;
};

/* we give the reduce method our reducer function
  and our initial value */
const total = numbers.reduce(reducer, initialValue)

Example 3: javascript reduce

const sum = array.reduce((accumulator, element) => {
  return accumulator + element;
}, 0);

Example 4: .reduce mdn

arr.reduce(callback( accumulator, currentValue[, index[, array]] )[, initialValue])

Example 5: reduce javascript

//note idx and sourceArray are optional
const sum = array.reduce((accumulator, element[, idx[, sourceArray]]) => {
	//arbitrary example of why idx might be needed
	return accumulator + idx * 2 + element 
}, 0);
