Reduce

Instructions

Create four functions:

• fold that receives an array, a function and an accumulator, in this order, and applies the function in the elements of the array starting on the left.

• foldRight that receives an array, a function and an accumulator, in this order, and applies the function in the elements of the array starting on the right.

• reduce that works just like the method [].reduce when you don't specify an accumulator. The arguments should be an array and a function. The starting value of your accumulator must be the first value of the array. If your array is less than 1 argument you should throw an error.

• reduceRight like reduce, from the last value to the first

Example:

const adder = (a, b) => a + b
fold([1, 2, 3], adder, 2) // returns 8 (2 + 1 + 2 + 3)
foldRight([1, 2, 3], adder, 2) // returns 8 (2 + 3 + 2 + 1)
reduce([1, 2, 3], adder) // returns 6 (1 + 2 + 3)
reduceRight([1, 2, 3], adder) // returns 6 (3 + 2 + 1)

The use of [].reduce and [].reduceRight is forbidden for this exercise.
