TuplesSearch.reduce( reducer as function, seed as anyValue ) as TuplesSearch
Specifies a function similar to Array.prototype.reduce() to apply to each tuple within the slice.
Parameters | |
---|---|
reducer | The reducing function. |
seed | The initial reduction passed to the reducing function. |
function (prev, current, index, state)
Where the parameters have the contents:
prev
- The reduced tuples returned by the previous call, or the seed value on the first call.
current
- The current tuple.
index
- The number of the current tuple.
state
- A state object with a boolean-valued
isLast
> property that indicated the last call. You can set it to true to prematurely halt the reduction.
The return from the last call becomes the final reduced result.
You cannot use this method in conjunction with
TuplesSearch.map
.
