REDUCE

REduce is a functional programming technique that takes a list of items and combines them into a single value using a specified process. For example, summing a list of numbers or finding the product of a set of values. It works by starting with an initial value and then applying a function to combine each item in the list with the accumulated result. This method simplifies many tasks that involve aggregating data or performing calculations across collections, making code more efficient and easier to read.
