I'm trying to recreate the reduce method but as the original function.
This helped me to understand a lot but I have one little issue: How to re-create Underscore.js _.reduce method? When I plug in arrays it works right, but objects don't work. I get undefined. I would appreciate advice on what I should change. I commented where I think I should change something but I'm confused exactly what I need to change it to. I also created my own each function.
You can find my code here: http://goo.gl/6RU9Bc
Any advice would be super helpful. Thank you!!
This is what I have so far:
var myArray=[1,2,3,4,5];
var myObject={
num1:1,
num2:2,
num3:3
};
function each(collection, callback){
if(Array.isArray(collection)) {
for(var i=0, l=collection.length; i<l; i++){
callback(collection[i]);
};
}else if(collection === "object") {
for(var prop in collection){
callback(collection[prop]);
};
}
}
function multiply(num, num2){
return num*num2;
}
function reduce(collection, callback, accumulator){
each(collection, function(element){
if(accumulator === undefined) {
return accumulator = element; // is the problem here? Why? I don't understand.
}else {
return accumulator = callback(accumulator, element);
};
});
return accumulator;
};
console.log(reduce(myArray, multiply)); // 120
console.log(reduce(myArray, multiply, 5)); // 160
console.log(reduce(myObject, multiply)); // returns undefined
console.log(reduce(myObject, multiply, 5)); // returns 5
