The JavaScript reduce() Function
The details of the `reduce()` Function in JavaScript
reduce()
is another important method of an array.
reduce()
executes a callback function on all the items of the array and allows to progressively compute a result. If initialValue
is specified, accumulator
in the first iteration will equal to that value.
a.reduce((accumulator, currentValue, currentIndex, array) => {
//...
}, initialValue)
Example:
[1, 2, 3, 4].reduce((accumulator, currentValue, currentIndex, array) => {
return accumulator * currentValue
}, 1)
// iteration 1: 1 * 1 => return 1
// iteration 2: 1 * 2 => return 2
// iteration 3: 2 * 3 => return 6
// iteration 4: 6 * 4 => return 24
// return value is 24
