reduce

[procedure] reduce f ridentity list

SRFI-1: reduce has the following definition:

     If list = (), return ridentity;
     Otherwise, return (fold f (car list) (cdr list)). 
     ...in other words, we compute (fold f ridentity list). 

Note: MIT Scheme and Haskell flip F's arg order for their reduce and fold functions.

See also fold, reduce-right.

[syntax] reduce ((sequence-type element-var data ...) ...) ((state-var initial) ...) body [final]
