--description--

Let's says we have an array [1, 3, 5] named arr and we want to sum up all the numbers.

We can use the reduce function as follows:

arr.reduce((accumulator, currentValue) => {
  return accumulator + currentValue;
}, 0);

At arr[0], the function is (0, 1) => { return 0 + 1 }, since arr[0] = 1 = currentValue.

At arr[1], the function is (1, 3) => 1 + 3,

Finally at arr[2], the function is (4, 5) => 4 + 5. Now the accumulator is 9 and since we have gone through all of the items in arr, the reduce() method will return 9.

In the body of the callback function, replace /* code to run */ with return accumulator + currentValue.

--hints--

See description above for instructions.

assert(
  code
    .replace(/\s/g, '')
    .match(
      /reduce\(\(accumulator\,currentValue\)\=\>{returnaccumulator\+currentValue\;?},0\)/
    )
);
