once

    Type parameters

    • T

    Parameters

    • value: T

      The value to wrap in an iterator.

      The stopping value for the range, exclusive.

    • Optional step: number

      The distance between each value.

    Returns IIterator<number>

    An iterator which produces evenly spaced values.

    Notes

    In the single argument form of range(stop), start defaults to 0 and step defaults to 1.

    In the two argument form of range(start, stop), step defaults to 1.

reduce

  • Summarize all values in an iterable using a reducer function.

    Type parameters

    • T

    Parameters

    • object: IterableOrArrayLike<T>

      The iterable or array-like object of interest.

    • fn: function

      The reducer function to invoke for each value.

        • (accumulator: T, value: T, index: number): T
        • Parameters

          • accumulator: T
          • value: T
          • index: number

          Returns T

    Returns T

    The final accumulated value.

    Notes

    The reduce function follows the conventions of Array#reduce.

    If the iterator is empty, an initial value is required. That value will be used as the return value. If no initial value is provided, an error will be thrown.

    If the iterator contains a single item and no initial value is provided, the single item is used as the return value.

    Otherwise, the reducer is invoked for each element in the iterable. If an initial value is not provided, the first element will be used as the initial accumulated value.

    Complexity

    Linear.

    Example

    import { reduce } from '@phosphor/algorithm';
    
    let data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    
    let sum = reduce(data, (a, value) => a + value);  // 15
