Script Preparation code:

// Create an array of 1000 random intergers between 1 and 10000
var arrRandom = [];
for(var intCtr=0; intCtr<1000; intCtr++) {
  arrRandom.push(Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(10000)));
}

function doRedeuce(pArray, start) {

}
function doRedeuceArrowFunc(pArray, start) {
	return pArray.reduce((accum, curr) => accum + curr, start);
}

	var accum = 0;
	for(var intCtr=0; intCtr<pArray.length; intCtr++) {
		accum += pArray[intCtr];
	}

}

	pArray.forEach((item) => {
