Reducer executes a function (provided as argument to reducer) on each element of the array, resulting in single output value.
Custom Reducer function
const reducer = (array, cb, init) => {
let result = init
for(let i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
result = cb(result, array[i], i, array)
return result
}
1. Calculating Length of array using reducer
const length = (array) => reducer(array, (total, currEle) => total+1 ,0)
const list = [1, 2, 3]
console.log(length(list)) // 3
2. Implementing map using Reducer
const map = (array, cb) => reducer(array, (acc, currEle) => [...acc ,cb(currEle)] ,[])
const double = n => n * 2
const list = [10, 20, 30, 40]
console.log(map(list, double)) //[ 20, 40, 60, 80 ]
3. Implementing filter using Reducer
const filter = (array, cb) => reducer(array, (acc, currEle) => cb(currEle) ? [...acc , currEle] : acc ,[])
const isGreaterThanTwo = n => n > 2
const list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
console.log(filter(list, isGreaterThanTwo)) //[ 3, 4 ]
4. Implementing flatMap using reducer
const map = (array, cb) => reducer(array, (acc, currEle) => [...acc ,cb(currEle)] ,[])
const flatMap = (array, cb) => reducer(array, (acc, currEle) => [...acc , ...map(currEle, cb)] ,[])
const double = n => n * 2
const twoDList = [[1], [2]]
console.log(flatMap(twoDList, double)) //[ 2, 4 ]
5. Implementing forEach using reducer
const forEach = (array, cb) => reducer(array, (acc, currEle) => cb(currEle) ,null)
const printDouble = n => console.log(n * 2)
const list = [20, 40, 50]
forEach(list, printDouble)
/*
output:
40
80
100
*/
6. Implementing reverse using reducer
const reverse = (array, cb) => reducer(array, (acc, currEle) => [currEle, ...acc] ,[])
const list = ["a", "b"]
console.log(reverse(list)) //[ 'b', 'a' ]
7. Implementing every using reducer
const every = (array, condition) => reducer(array, (acc, currEle) => acc && !!condition(currEle), true)
const list = [3, 6]
const isDivisibleByThree = e => e % 3 === 0
console.log(every(list, isDivisibleByThree)) // true
