--description--

Like the other methods, .reduce() takes a callback. This callback, however, takes at least two parameters. The first is the <dfn>accumulator</dfn>, and the second is the current element in the array. The return value for the callback becomes the value of the accumulator on the next iteration.

js
array.reduce((acc, el) => {

});

For your sum variable, pass a callback to .reduce() that takes the accumulator and the current element as parameters. The callback should return the sum of the accumulator and the current element.

--hints--

Your reduce method should have a callback function which takes an acc and an el parameters.

js
assert.match(getMean.toString(), /(array\.reduce\(\s*\(\s*acc\s*,\s*el\s*\)\s*=>|array\.reduce\(\s*function\s*\(\s*acc\s*,\s*el\s*\)\s*\{)/)

Your reduce method should return the sum of acc and el.

js
assert.match(getMean.toString(), /(array\.reduce\(\s*\(\s*acc\s*,\s*el\s*\)\s*=>|array\.reduce\(\s*function\s*\(\s*acc\s*,\s*el\s*\)\s*\{)\s*(return\s+)?\s*acc\s*\+\s*el/)
