reduce helper method javascript code example

Example 1: javascript reduce sum

let nums = [1, 2, 3];

nums.reduce((curr, next) => curr + next);

Example 2: how to use reduce javascript

const sum = array.reduce((accumulator, element) => {
  return accumulator + element;
}, 0);
// An example that will loop through an array adding
// each element to an accumulator and returning it
// The 0 at the end initializes accumulator to start at 0
// If array is [2, 4, 6], the returned value in sum
// will be 12 (0 + 2 + 4 + 6)

const product = array.reduce((accumulator, element) => {
  return accumulator * element;
}, 1);
// Multiply all elements in array and return the total
// Initialize accumulator to start at 1
// If array is [2, 4, 6], the returned value in product
// will be 48 (1 * 2 * 4 * 6)

Example 3: 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);

Example 4: javascript, reduce

const myReduce = myArray.reduce((acc, item) => {
	acc += item
})
