For example, ## reduce(@@(x,y)(x+y), [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) calculates ((((1+2)+3)+4)+5). ## The left argument, x, is the accumulated value and the right argument, y, is the ## update value from the sequence. If the optional initializer is present, it is ## placed before the items of the sequence in the calculation, and serves as ## a default when the sequence is empty. If initializer is not given and sequence ## contains only one item, the first item is returned. ## ## @example ## reduce(@@add,[1:10]) ## @result{} 55 ## reduce(@@(x,y)(x*y),[1:7]) ## @result{} 5040 (actually, 7!) ## @end example ## @end deftypefn ## Parts of documentation copied from the "Python Library Reference, v2.5" function rv = reduce (func, lst, init) if (nargin < 2) || nargin > 3 || (class(func)!='function_handle') || (nargin == 2 && length(lst)<2) print_usage(); end l=length(lst); if (l<2 && nargin==3) if(l==0) rv=init; elseif (l==1) rv=func(init,lst(1)); end return; end if(nargin == 3) rv=func(init,lst(1)); start=2; else rv=func(lst(1),lst(2)); start=3; end for i=start:l rv=func(rv,lst(i)); end end %!assert(reduce(@(x,y)(x+y),[],-1),-1) %!assert(reduce(@(x,y)(x+y),[+1],-1),0) %!assert(reduce(@(x,y)(x+y),[-10:-1]),-55) %!assert(reduce(@(x,y)(x+y),[-10:-1],+55),0) %!assert(reduce(@(x,y)(y*x),[1:4],5),120)
