How to apply a function simultaneously against two values of the array from right-to-left?


Use the reduceRight() method in JavaScript to apply a function simultaneously against two values of the array from right-to-left as to reduce it to a single value.

The following are the 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

Example

You can try to run the following code to learn how to work with reduceRight() method in JavaScript −

<html>
   <head>
      <title>JavaScript Array reduceRight Method</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <script>
         if (!Array.prototype.reduceRight)
         {
            Array.prototype.reduceRight = function(fun /*, initial*/)
            {
               var len = this.length;
               if (typeof fun != "function")
               throw new TypeError();
             
               // no value to return if no initial value, empty array
               if (len == 0 && arguments.length == 1)
               throw new TypeError();
               var i = len - 1;
               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 < 0)
                     throw new TypeError();
                  }
                  while (true);
                  }
                  for (; i >= 0; i--)
                  {
                     if (i in this)
                     rv = fun.call(null, rv, this[i], i, this);
                  }
               return rv;
            };
         }
         var total = [0, 1, 2, 3].reduceRight(function(a, b) { return a + b; });
         document.write("total is : " + total );
      </script>
   </body>
</html>
