reduce
Apply a function against an accumulator and each element in a collection and return the accumulated result.
Usage
var reduce = require( '@stdlib/utils/reduce' );
reduce( collection, initial, reducer[, thisArg ] )
Applies a function against an accumulator and each element in a collection and returns the accumulated result.
function sum( accumulator, value ) {
    return accumulator + value;
}
var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
var out = reduce( arr, 0, sum );
// returns 10
The reducer function is provided four arguments:
- accumulator: accumulated value
- value: collection element
- index: collection index
- collection: input collection
Basic support for dynamic collections is provided. Note, however, that index incrementation is monotonically increasing.
function sum1( accumulator, value, index, collection ) {
    if ( index === collection.length-1 && collection.length < 10 ) {
        collection.push( index+2 );
    }
    return accumulator + value;
}
var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
var out = reduce( arr, 0, sum1 );
// returns 55
function sum2( accumulator, value, index, collection ) {
    collection.shift();
    return accumulator + value;
}
arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
out = reduce( arr, 0, sum2 );
// returns 4
To set the function execution context, provide a thisArg.
function sum( accumulator, value ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return accumulator + value;
}
var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
var context = {
    'count': 0
};
var out = reduce( arr, 0, sum, context );
// returns 10
var mean = out / context.count;
// returns 2.5
Notes
- 
A collectionmay be either anArray,Typed Array, or an array-likeObject(excludingstringsandfunctions).
- 
The function differs from Array.prototype.reducein the following ways:- 
The function requires an initialvalue for theaccumulator. Theinitialvalue is used during the first invocation of thereducerfunction.
- 
The function does not skip the first element in the collection.
- 
The function does not skip undefinedelements.function log( accumulator, value, index ) { console.log( '%s: %s', index, value ); return accumulator; } var arr = [ 1, , , 4 ]; var out = reduce( arr, 0, log ); /* => 0: 1 1: undefined 2: undefined 3: 4 */
- 
The function provides limited support for dynamic collections (i.e., collections whose lengthchanges during execution).

Examples
var reduce = require( '@stdlib/utils/reduce' );
var arr;
var s;
var i;
function sum( acc, value ) {
    return acc + value;
}
arr = new Array( 1000 );
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
    arr[ i ] = i;
}
s = reduce( arr, 0, sum );
console.log( s );
