@stdlib/utils-reduce-right

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

reduceRight

Apply a function against an accumulator and each element in an array while iterating from right to left and return the accumulated result.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/utils-reduce-right

Usage

var reduceRight = require( '@stdlib/utils-reduce-right' );

reduceRight( arr, initial, reducer[, thisArg ] )

Applies a function against an accumulator and each element in an array while iterating from right to left and returns the accumulated result.

function sum( accumulator, value ) {
    return accumulator + value;
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var out = reduceRight( arr, 0, sum );
// returns 10

The function accepts both array-like objects and ndarray-like objects.

var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );

function sum( accumulator, value ) {
    return accumulator + value;
}

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'generic'
};
var arr = array( [ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 4, 5, 6 ] ], opts );

var out = reduceRight( arr, 0, sum );
// returns 21

The applied function is provided the following arguments:

• accumulator: accumulated value.
• value: array element.
• index: element index.
• arr: input array.

To set the this context when invoking the input function, provide a thisArg.

function sum( accumulator, value ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return accumulator + value;
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var out = reduceRight( arr, 0, sum, ctx );
// returns 10

var mean = out / ctx.count;
// returns 2.5

Notes

• For input arrays, the function differs from Array.prototype.reduceRight in the following ways:

  • The function requires an initial value for the accumulator. The initial value is used during the first invocation of the reducer function.
  • The function does not skip the last array element.
  • The function does not skip undefined elements.
  • The function does not support dynamic array-like objects (i.e., array-like objects whose length changes during execution).

• The function supports array-like objects exposing getters and setters for array element access (e.g., Complex64Array, Complex128Array, etc).

  var Complex64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex64' );
  var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32' );
  var realf = require( '@stdlib/complex-realf' );
  var imagf = require( '@stdlib/complex-imagf' );
  
  function sum( acc, z ) {
      var re1 = realf( acc );
      var im1 = imagf( acc );
      var re2 = realf( z );
      var im2 = imagf( z );
      return new Complex64( re1+re2, im1+im2 );
  }
  
  var x = new Complex64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ] );
  
  var v = reduceRight( x, new Complex64( 0.0, 0.0 ), sum );
  // returns <Complex64>
  
  var re = realf( v );
  // returns 16.0
  
  var im = imagf( v );
  // returns 20.0

• For ndarray-like objects, the function performs a reduction over the entire input ndarray (i.e., higher-order ndarray dimensions are flattened to a single-dimension).

• When applying a function to ndarray-like objects, performance will be best for ndarray-like objects which are single-segment contiguous.

Examples

var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' );
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var naryFunction = require( '@stdlib/utils-nary-function' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/math-base-ops-add' );
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var reduceRight = require( '@stdlib/utils-reduce-right' );

function fill( i ) {
    var rand = discreteUniform( -10*(i+1), 10*(i+1) );
    return filledarrayBy( 10, 'generic', rand );
}

// Create a two-dimensional ndarray (i.e., a matrix):
var x = array( filledarrayBy( 10, 'generic', fill ), {
    'dtype': 'generic',
    'flatten': true
});

// Create an explicit binary function:
var f = naryFunction( add, 2 );

// Compute the sum:
var out = reduceRight( x, 0, f );

console.log( 'x:' );
console.log( x.data );

console.log( 'sum: %d', out );
