My Reduce Polyfill for Javascript

I used to avoid reduce method in Javascript because of how confusing it was. Today I wrote my own reduce polyfill. Handling all edge cases, it was challenging at first but then it all clicks. While writing polyfills the core flow of callback, this context and iteration is the easiest & part. But in case of reduce you need to consider following : 1. Initial values 2. Sparse arrays (holes) 3. Dynamic start indexing 4. Edge case handling with custom errors Once you work on each pointers you will understand all edge cases, reduce is not just about iteration its about the flow. #javascript
