Tests:

  • reduce (arrow function)

     
    var reduceResult=0;
    redeuceResult = doRedeuceArrowFunc(arrRandom, 0);

  • for loop

     
    var loopResult=0;
    loopResult = doLoop(arrRandom);

  • forEach

     
    var forEachResult=0
    forEachResult = doForEach(arrRandom)

  • reduce

     
    var reduceResult=0;
    redeuceResult = doRedeuce(arrRandom, 0);
