{{task}}

''Reduce'' is a function or method that is used to take the values in an array or a list and apply a function to successive members of the list to produce (or reduce them to), a single value.

;Task: Show how ''reduce'' (or ''foldl'' or ''foldr'' etc), work (or would be implemented) in your language.

Forth

Forth has three traditions for iterating over the members of a data structure. Under the first, the data structure has words that help you navigate over it and normal Forth looping structures are used. Under the second, the data structure has dedicated looping words and you supply the code that's run for each member. Under the third, the data structure has a loop-over-members word that accepts a function to be run against each member.

There's no need to distinguish between the different kinds of looping ("this one collects function returns into a list; this one threads an accumulator between the function-calls; this one threads two accumulators through the function-calls; this one expects no return values whatsoever from the function-calls") because in Forth all that the looping words have to do is make the data stack available for the function's use. When that's the case, all of these variations, that are so important in other languages, are functionally equivalent.

Although it's possible to have a generic higher-order word that can operate under all kinds of data structures -- this just requires that one settle on an object system and then derive a collections library from it -- this is rarely done. Typically each data structure has its own looping words.

To demonstrate the above points we'll just loop over the bytes of a string.

Some helper words for these examples:

: lowercase? ( c -- f )
  [char] a [ char z 1+ ] literal within ;

: char-upcase ( c -- C )
  dup lowercase? if bl xor then ;

Using normal looping words:

: string-at ( c-addr u +n -- c )
  nip + c@ ;
: string-at! ( c-addr u +n c -- )
  rot drop  -rot  + c! ;

: type-lowercase ( c-addr u -- )
  dup 0 ?do
    2dup i string-at  dup lowercase?  if emit else drop then
  loop  2drop ;

: upcase ( 'string' -- 'STRING' )
  dup 0 ?do
    2dup 2dup  i string-at  char-upcase  i swap string-at!
  loop ;

: count-lowercase ( c-addr u -- n )
  0 -rot dup 0 ?do
    2dup i string-at  lowercase? if rot 1+ -rot then
  loop  2drop ;

Briefly, a variation:

: next-char ( a +n -- a' n' c -1 )  ( a 0 -- 0 )
  dup if 2dup  1 /string  2swap drop c@ true
  else 2drop 0 then ;

: type-lowercase ( c-addr u -- )
  begin next-char while
    dup lowercase? if emit else drop then
  repeat ;

Using dedicated looping words:

: each-char[ ( c-addr u -- )
  postpone BOUNDS postpone ?DO
  postpone I postpone C@ ;  immediate

  \ interim code: ( c -- )

: ]each-char ( -- )
  postpone LOOP ;  immediate

: type-lowercase ( c-addr u -- )
  each-char[ dup lowercase? if emit else drop then ]each-char ;

: upcase ( 'string' -- 'STRING' )
  2dup each-char[ char-upcase i c! ]each-char ;

: count-lowercase ( c-addr u -- n )
  0 -rot each-char[ lowercase? if 1+ then ]each-char ;

Using higher-order words:

: each-char ( c-addr u xt -- )
  {: xt :}  bounds ?do
    i c@ xt execute
  loop ;

: type-lowercase ( c-addr u -- )
  [: dup lowercase? if emit else drop then ;]
  each-char ;

\ producing a new string
: upcase ( 'string' -- 'STRING' )
  dup cell+ allocate throw -rot
  [: ( new-string-addr c -- new-string-addr )
    upcase over c+! ;] each-char  $@ ;

: count-lowercase ( c-addr u -- n )
  0 -rot [: lowercase? if 1+ then ;] each-char ;

In these examples COUNT-LOWERCASE updates an accumulator, UPCASE (mostly) modifies the string in-place, and TYPE-LOWERCASE performs side-effects and returns nothing to the higher-order word.

Fortran

If Fortran were to offer the ability to pass a parameter "by name", as is used in [[Jensen's_Device#Fortran|Jensen's device]], then the code might be something like

      SUBROUTINE FOLD(t,F,i,ist,lst)
       INTEGER t
       BYNAME F
        DO i = ist,lst
          t = F
        END DO
      END SUBROUTINE FOLD      !Result in temp.

      temp = a(1); CALL FOLD(temp,temp*a(i),i,2,N)

Here, the function manifests as the expression that is the second parameter of subroutine FOLD, and the "by name" protocol for parameter F means that within the subroutine whenever there is a reference to F, its value is evaluated afresh in the caller's environment using the current values of ''temp'' and ''i'' as modified by the subroutine - they being passed by reference so that changes within the subroutine affect the originals. An evaluation for a different function requires merely another statement with a different expression.

Fortran however does not provide such a facility. Any parameter that is an expression is evaluated once in the caller's environment, the result placed in temporary storage, and the address of that storage location is passed to the subroutine. Repeated references to that parameter will elicit the same value. But there is special provision for passing a function to a routine, involving the special word EXTERNAL. For every different function in mind, one must diligently supply a name, and work through the overhead of declaring each such function. There is an additional word, INTRINSIC, for use when an intrinsic function (such as SIN) is to be passed as such a parameter since it will appear as its name only, and with the absence of the (...) that would be used for the function's parameters when in an arithmetic expression, it would otherwise be taken as being the name of an ordinary variable.

Here is such an arrangement, in the style of F77 though somewhat affected by F90 in that the END statement names the routine being ended. Similarly, to abate petty complaints about the types of the functions being undeclared, explicit types are specified, though unselecting the compiler diagnostic for that would match the habits of earlier compilers. Also in F90 is the MODULE protocol which involves rather more organised checking of types and additional facilities for arrays [[Array_length#Fortran|so that N need not be passed]] because secret additional parameters do so.

However, only programmer diligence in devising functions with the correct type of result and the correct type and number of parameters will evade mishaps. Note that the EXTERNAL statement does not specify the number or type of parameters. If the function is invoked multiple times within a subroutine, the compiler may check for consistency. This may cause trouble when [[Leonardo_numbers#Fortran|some parameters are optional]] so that different invocations do not match.

The function's name is used as a working variable within the function (as well as it holding the function's value on exit) so that the expression F(IFOLD,A(I)) is ''not'' a recursive invocation of function IFOLD because there are no (parameters) appended to the function's name. Earlier compilers did not allow such usage so that a separate working variable would be required.

      INTEGER FUNCTION IFOLD(F,A,N)	!"Catamorphism"...
       INTEGER F	!We're working only with integers.
       EXTERNAL F	!This is a function, not an array.

Groovy

Groovy provides an "inject" method for all aggregate classes that performs a classic tail-recursive reduction, driven by a closure argument. The result of each iteration (closure invocation) is used as the accumulated valued for the next iteration. If a first argument is provided as well as a second closure argument, that first argument is used as a seed accumulator for the first iteration. Otherwise, the first element of the aggregate is used as the seed accumulator, with reduction iteration proceeding across elements 2 through n.

def vector1 = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
def vector2 = [7,6,5,4,3,2,1]
def map1 = [a:1, b:2, c:3, d:4]

println vector1.inject { acc, val -> acc + val }       // sum
println vector1.inject { acc, val -> acc + val*val }   // sum of squares
println vector1.inject { acc, val -> acc * val }       // product
println vector1.inject { acc, val -> acc<val?val:acc } // max
println ([vector1,vector2].transpose().inject(0) { acc, val -> acc + val[0]*val[1] }) //dot product (with seed 0)

println (map1.inject { Map.Entry accEntry, Map.Entry entry ->     // some sort of weird map-based reduction
    [(accEntry.key + entry.key):accEntry.value + entry.value ].entrySet().toList().pop()
})

and the generality of folds is such that if we replace all three of these (function, identity) combinations ((+), 0), ((*), 1) ((++), "") with the Monoid operation '''mappend''' (<>) and identity '''mempty''', we can still obtain the same results:

import Data.Monoid

main :: IO ()
main =
  let xs = [1 .. 10]
  in (putStrLn . unlines)
       [ (show . getSum     . foldr (<>) mempty) (Sum     <$> xs)
       , (show . getProduct . foldr (<>) mempty) (Product <$> xs)
       , (show .              foldr (<>) mempty) (show    <$> xs)
       , (show .              foldr (<>) mempty) (words

Also available are ''foldl1'' and ''foldr1'' which implicitly take first element as starting value. However they are not safe as they fail on empty lists.

''Prelude'' folds work only on lists, module ''Data.Foldable'' a typeclass for more general fold - interface remains the same.

jq

jq has an unusual and unusually powerful "reduce" control structure. A full description is beyond the scope of this short article, but an important point is that "reduce" is stream-oriented. Reduction of arrays is however trivially achieved using the ".[]" filter for converting an array to a stream of its values.

The simplest use of "reduce" can be illustrated by this definition of "factorial":

def factorial: reduce range(2;.+1) as $i (1; . * $i);

If the input is a non-negative integer, n, this will compute n!.

To understand how this works, consider "3|factorial". The computation starts by setting the implicit state variable to 1; range(2;4) will generate the sequence of values (2,3). The variable $i is set to each value in the stream in turn so that the state variable is multiplied by 2 (". * $i") and then by 3. Notice that since range/2 produces a stream, no array is ever constructed.

For a more complex illustration, see [[Sorting_algorithms/Strand_sort#jq|Strand sort]].

The "reduce" operator is typically used within a map/reduce framework, but the implicit state variable can be any JSON entity, and so "reduce" is also a general-purpose iterative control structure, the only limitation being that it does not have the equivalent of "break". For that, the "foreach" control structure in recent versions of jq can be used.

Perl

Perl's reduce function is in a standard package.

use List::Util 'reduce';

# note the use of the odd $a and $b globals
print +(reduce {$a + $b} 1 .. 10), "\n";

# first argument is really an anon function; you could also do this:
sub func { $b & 1 ? "$a $b" : "$b $a" }
print +(reduce \&func, 1 .. 10), "\n"

Perl 6

{{works with|Rakudo|2018.03}} Any associative infix operator, either built-in or user-defined, may be turned into a reduce operator by putting it into square brackets (known as "the reduce metaoperator") and using it as a list operator. The operations will work left-to-right or right-to-left automatically depending on the natural associativity of the base operator.

my @list = 1..10;
say [+] @list;
say [*] @list;
say [~] @list;
say min @list;
say max @list;
say [lcm] @list;

In addition to the reduce metaoperator, a general higher-order function, reduce, can apply any appropriate function. Reproducing the above in this form, using the function names of those operators, we have:

my @list = 1..10;
say reduce &infix:<+>, @list;
say reduce &infix:<*>, @list;
say reduce &infix:<~>, @list;
say reduce &infix:<min>, @list;
say reduce &infix:<max>, @list;
say reduce &infix:<lcm>, @list;

Python

 # Python 2.X

>>> listoflists = [['the', 'cat'], ['sat', 'on'], ['the', 'mat']]
>>> help(reduce)
Help on built-in function reduce in module __builtin__:

reduce(...)
    reduce(function, sequence[, initial]) -> value

    Apply a function of two arguments cumulatively to the items of a sequence,
    from left to right, so as to reduce the sequence to a single value.
    For example, reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) calculates
    ((((1+2)+3)+4)+5).  If initial is present, it is placed before the items
    of the sequence in the calculation, and serves as a default when the
    sequence is empty.

>>> reduce(add, listoflists, [])
['the', 'cat', 'sat', 'on', 'the', 'mat']
>>>

Additional example

# Python 3.X

from functools import reduce
from operator import add, mul

nums = range(1,11)

summation = reduce(add, nums)

product = reduce(mul, nums)

concatenation = reduce(lambda a, b: str(a) + str(b), nums)

print(summation, product, concatenation)

R

Sum the numbers in a vector:

Reduce('+', c(2,30,400,5000))
5432

Put a 0 between each pair of numbers:

Reduce(function(a,b){c(a,0,b)},  c(2,3,4,5))
2 0 3 0 4 0 5

Generate all prefixes of a string:

Reduce(paste0, unlist(strsplit("freedom", NULL)), accum=T)
"f"       "fr"      "fre"     "free"    "freed"   "freedo"  "freedom"

Filter and map:

Reduce(function(x,acc){if (0==x%%3) c(x*x,acc) else acc}, 0:22,
       init=c(), right=T)
   0   9  36  81 144 225 324 441

#lang racket
(define (fold f xs init)
  (if (empty? xs)

(fold + '(1 2 3) 0)   ; the result is 6

REXX

This REXX example is modeled after the Perl 6 example (it is NOT a translation).

Also, a '''list''' and '''show''' function were added, although they aren't a catamorphism, as they don't produce or reduce the values to a ''single'' value, but are included here to help display the values in the list.

Ruby

The method inject (and it's alias reduce) can be used in several ways; the simplest is to give a methodname as argument:

# sum:
p (1..10).inject(:+)
# smallest number divisible by all numbers from 1 to 20:
p (1..20).inject(:lcm) #lcm: lowest common multiple

The most versatile way uses a accumulator object (memo) and a block. In this example Pascal's triangle is generated by using an array [1,1] and inserting the sum of each consecutive pair of numbers from the previous row.

p row = [1]
10.times{p row = row.each_cons(2).inject([1,1]){|ar,(a,b)| ar.insert(-2, a+b)} }

# [1]
# [1, 1]
# [1, 2, 1]
# [1, 3, 3, 1]
# [1, 4, 6, 4, 1]
# [1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1]
# [1, 6, 15, 20, 15, 6, 1]

Implementation

reduce implemented for a single list:

(define (reduce fn init lst)
  (do ((val init (fn (car rem) val)) ; accumulated value passed as second argument
       (rem lst (cdr rem)))
    ((null? rem) val)))

(display (reduce + 0 '(1 2 3 4 5))) (newline) ; => 15
(display (reduce expt 2 '(3 4))) (newline)    ; => 262144

Using SRFI 1

There is also an implementation of fold and fold-right in SRFI-1, for lists.

These take a two-argument procedure: (lambda (value acc) ...) where value is the next value in the list, and acc is the accumulated value. The initial value is used for the first value of acc.

> (import (srfi 1))
> (fold + 0 '(1 2 3 4 5))
15
> (fold expt 2 '(3 4)) ; => (expt 4 (expt 3 2))
262144
> (fold-right expt 2 '(3 4)) ; => (expt 3 (expt 4 2))
43046721

More than one list may be folded over, when the function is passed one item from each list plus the accumulated value:

> (fold + 0 '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ; add up all the numbers in all the lists

[1..5] -> (@: $(1); $(2..-1)... -> @: $@ - $; $@!) -> '$;

  $@ !
end fold

templates add
  $(1) + $(2) !

Tcl

Tcl does not come with a built-in fold command, but it is easy to construct:

proc fold {lambda zero list} {
    set accumulator $zero
    foreach item $list {
	set accumulator [apply $lambda $accumulator $item]
    }
    return $accumulator
}

Demonstrating:

set 1to5 {1 2 3 4 5}

puts [fold {{a b} {expr {$a+$b}}} 0 $1to5]
puts [fold {{a b} {expr {$a*$b}}} 1 $1to5]
puts [fold {{a b} {return $a,$b}} x $1to5]

{{out}}

15
120
x,1,2,3,4,5

Note that these particular operations would more conventionally be written as:

puts [::tcl::mathop::+ {*}$1to5]
puts [::tcl::mathop::* {*}$1to5]
puts x,[join $1to5 ,]

But those are not general catamorphisms.

let nums => [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10];
a.stream nums -> s.reduce 0 + -- io.writeln io.stdout;

# As an alternative to an array, a range stream can be used. Here's the product of [1, 11):
s.range 1 11 -> s.reduce 1 * -- io.writeln io.stdout;

# And here's a concatenation:
s.range 1 11 -> s.reduce '' (str.format '{}{}') -- io.writeln io.stdout;

Wortel

You can reduce an array with the !/ operator.

!/ ^+ [1 2 3] ; returns 6

If you want to reduce with an initial value, you'll need the @fold operator.

@fold ^+ 1 [1 2 3] ; returns 7
