Description:
Javascript array reduce() method applies a function simultaneously against two values of the array (from left-to-right) as to reduce it to a single value.
Syntax:
array.reduce(callback[, initialValue]); |
Here is the detail of parameters:
- callback : Function to execute on each value in the array.
- initialValue : Object to use as the first argument to the first call of the callback.
Return Value:
Returns the reduced single value of the array.
Compatibility:
This method is a JavaScript extension to the ECMA-262 standard; as such it may not be present in other implementations of the standard. To make it work you need to add following code at the top of your script:
if (!Array.prototype.reduce)
{
Array.prototype.reduce = function(fun /*, initial*/)
{
var len = this.length;
if (typeof fun != "function")
throw new TypeError();
// no value to return if no initial value and an empty array
if (len == 0 && arguments.length == 1)
throw new TypeError();
var i = 0;
if (arguments.length >= 2)
{
var rv = arguments[1];
}
else
{
do
{
if (i in this)
{
rv = this[i++];
break;
}
// if array contains no values, no initial value to return
if (++i >= len)
throw new TypeError();
}
while (true);
}
for (; i < len; i++)
{
if (i in this)
rv = fun.call(null, rv, this[i], i, this);
}
return rv;
};
}

Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Array reduce Method</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (!Array.prototype.reduce)
{
Array.prototype.reduce = function(fun /*, initial*/)
{
var len = this.length;
if (typeof fun != "function")
throw new TypeError();
// no value to return if no initial value and an empty array
if (len == 0 && arguments.length == 1)
throw new TypeError();
var i = 0;
if (arguments.length >= 2)
{
var rv = arguments[1];
}
else
{
do
{
if (i in this)
{
rv = this[i++];
break;
}
// if array contains no values, no initial value to return
if (++i >= len)
throw new TypeError();
}
while (true);
}
for (; i < len; i++)
{
if (i in this)
rv = fun.call(null, rv, this[i], i, this);
}
return rv;
};
}
var total = [0, 1, 2, 3].reduce(function(a, b){ return a + b; });
document.write("total is : " + total );
</script>
</body>
</html>
|
This will produce following result:
total is : 6 |
