REDUCE FUNCTION

Reduce function is used to do any computation

while iterating on an array, computation result
is not lost while iteration. it’s a very helpful
function where you have to do computation on
some array element.

reduce(Array<T>, (item: T, accumulator:

T) -> T): T | Null

or

Array<T> reduce( (item: T, accumulator:

T) -> T): T | Null

Here

Array – is the array on which we

want to apply reduce function
Item
item in the input array
Refer as $
Takes 1st array item
value in case acc is
defined
Takes 2nd array item
value in case acc is not
defined
Accumulator (acc)
Store the results of
lambda expression after
each iteration in reduce
function
Refer as $$
We can explicitly define
the initial value like
[2,3,3] reduce ((item,
acc = “2”) → acc * item)
If initial value is not
defined then it will take
the value of first item of
array.
Iteration
no of item in array
minus 1 in case acc is
not initialized
no of item in array in
case acc is initialized

Lets see the use case where

acc value is not initialized

Dataweave:

%dw 2.0
output application/json
---
[2, 3] reduce ($ + $$)

Here

[2,3] – is the input array

acc -> $$ will take the 1st item value
= 2 (as acc is not initialized)
$ will take the 2nd item value = 3 (as
acc is not initialized)
Loop count = no of item in array
minus 1 (as acc is not initialized) = 2
–1=1
Acc = ($=3 + $$=2) = 5

So result will be 5

acc value is initialized

Dataweave:

%dw 2.0
output application/json
---
[2,3] reduce ((item, acc = 4) -> acc +
item)

Here

[2,3] – is the input array

acc will take the initialized value = 4
item will take 1st item value = 2 (as
acc is initialized)
Loop count = no of item in array (as
acc is initialized) = 2
Acc = acc + item -> 4 +
2 -> 6
Acc = acc + item -> 6 +
3 -> 9

So result will be 9

Hello Admin,
while concatenating using reduce function
getting the output as “54321”
—-
if acc value is not initialized
acc -> $$ will take the 1st item value
$ will take the 2nd item value

[1,2,3,4,5] reduce ((item,acc) -> item ++
