TIL about the subtlety of the optional initialValue parameter for the Array prototype's reduce method in JS.

Too obvious ... or worth pointing out? Anyway, hope someone gets something out of this micro realisation.
Ep.3 of our current #HandsOnSAPDev live stream series on functional programming is this Fri 02 May at the usual time. Join us for friendly chat & curiosity-driven learning-by-doing! Here's the playlist with the previous episodes & this upcoming one https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6RpkC85SLQB-0sK7KSRwCc2gdtlZDIkL @sap

Did you miss this morning's #HandsOnSAPDev live session, where we started our exploration of functional programming? Don't worry, the replay is available (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpvJcdoZ7yE) with great chat & comments, and discussion about first class, lambda (anonymous) and higher order functions, closures, composition and even a (deliberately subtle*) first glimpse of the heart of currying and partial application. Share and enjoy!
