Answers for "reduce function js return array"

javascript reduce

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

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

javascript reduce

let arr = [1,2,3]

/*
reduce takes in a callback function, which takes in an accumulator
and a currentValue.

accumulator = return value of the previous iteration
currentValue = current value in the array

*/

// So for example, this would return the total sum:

const totalSum = arr.reduce(function(accumulator, currentVal) {
	return accumulator + currentVal
}, 0);

> totalSum == 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 == 6

/* 
The '0' after the callback is the starting value of whatever is being 
accumulated, if omitted it will default to whatever the first value in 
the array is, i.e: 

> totalSum == 1 + 2 + 3 == 6

if the starting value was set to -1 for ex, the totalSum would be:
> totalSum == -1 + 1 + 2 + 3 == 5

// arr.reduceRight does the same thing, just from right to left
