Accumulating some value over using a callback function and initial value in JavaScript
Problem
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array a callback function and an initial value.
The function should accumulate a value over the iteration of array and finally return the value just like the Array.prototype.reduce() does.
Example
Following is the code −
const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; const sum = (a, b) => a + b; Array.prototype.customReduce = function(callback, initial){ if(!initial){ initial = this[0]; }; let res = initial; for(let i = initial === this[0] ? 1 : 0; i < this.length; i++){ res = callback(res, this[i]); }; return res; }; console.log(arr.customReduce(sum, 0));
Output
Following is the console output −
