Answers for "reduce javascript accumulator"

javascript sum of array

const sum = arr => arr.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);

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)

reduce method javascript

// Reduce() method executes a callback function that is passed in
// on each element of the array, resulting in single output value.
const array1 = [1, 2, 3, 4];
const callback = (accumulator, currentValue) => accumulator + currentValue;

// 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
console.log(array1.reduce(callback));
// expected output: 10

// 5 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
console.log(array1.reduce(callback, 5));
// expected output: 15 because the initial value is 5.

// This is how Reduce works.
// This is a myReduce method which takes a callback and an optional argument 
// of a default accumulator. If myReduce only receives one argument, then 
// myReduce will use the first element as the accumulator.

Array.prototype.myReduce = function(callback, acc) {
    if (!acc) {
        acc = this.shift();
    }
    this.forEach(function(element) {
        acc = callback(acc, element)
    })
    return acc;
}
