The provided code calculates the sum of the total
property from all the objects in the orders
array. Here's a detailed breakdown of what the code does:
-
orders.reduce(...)
:- The
.reduce()
method is used to iterate over the array and accumulate a single value (in this case, the sum of alltotal
properties).
- The
-
Callback Function
(acc, obj) => acc + obj.total
:acc
(short for accumulator) starts at0
(as defined at the end of.reduce()
).obj
represents each object in theorders
array during iteration.- For each object, the value of
obj.total
is added to theacc
.
-
Initial Value
0
:0
is provided as the initial value of the accumulator (acc
).
-
Final Result:
- After iterating through all the objects in the
orders
array, thereduce()
method returns the total sum of thetotal
properties of all objects. This result is stored in thetotal
variable.
- After iterating through all the objects in the
Example:
If orders
is defined as:
const orders = [
{ total: 10 },
{ total: 20 },
{ total: 30 }
];
The code will:
- Start with
acc = 0
. - Add 10 (
acc + 10
→acc = 10
). - Add 20 (
acc + 20
→acc = 30
). - Add 30 (
acc + 30
→acc = 60
).
The final result (total
) will be 60
.
